Kelty - Tallboy 4

I went with a simple Kelty 4-man and its been great. I like traditional dome tents, easy to set up, take down and repair. I was a volunteer at an overland rally two years ago and saw a bunch of gazelle tents fail in a wind storm. It was wild. they were the worst failing tents of all the tents there. That and they take up a lot of space when packed. They are neat but imo not worth the space and price, esp if they are going to fail in bad weather. They look cool though so you will get overland points.

We loved our Ozark Trail tent! Set out on a cross country camping trip with a brand new Kelty that we spent a pretty penny on. A week in, a pole broke in the wind and we got SOAKED through the thin floor. Went to a Walmart, picked up an Ozark Trail, and left the Kelty in a dumpster. Never looked back on that decision.

Kelty is always a solid bet. Good quality many choices Helleberg tents will last forever. But the price is high. Many other quality suggestions are listed from others too. Good luck and have fun!

Get a Kelty, way higher quality and will keep you dry

Seconding this comment. My first tent was an ozark lasted me almost a decade, upgraded to a nicer Kelty eventually but still have the ozark pop up. Great stuff for the price highly reccomend
