Review on Kelty Cabana Shade Tent Update by Donald Gore

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good alternative to bulky, quick to deploy beach tents

Essentially everything the other reviewer said is true so I won't repeat myself here. Just to add I'm coming from a cheap instant beach tent that ended up falling apart. This Kelty tent is space-saving to carry and only half the length of a normal beach tent. The interior of the tent is large and spacious when set up and can comfortably accommodate 4+ people. While this tent isn't as quick and convenient to set up as a retractable tent, the Kelty is very easy to set up and take down after some practice. The only thing I complain about is the carrying weight due to the one-piece GRP mast segments. I was hoping to upgrade to a beach tent that's twice the weight and roominess of my chunky pop-up tent, but that's not possible for $100.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Not sure
