Review on πŸ•οΈ Kelty Late Start 2 Person Backpacking Tent (2019 Model): Top-rated portable shelter for outdoor adventures by Omar Austin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good for 1 person, terrible for 2 people

I bought the Late Start for 2p. The tent is of high quality and survived a fairly violent storm without leaking although the fact that the rain screen/roller shutter is aligned with the door made it very difficult to get in and out without soiling everything. The biggest problem is the only door/shutter. In such a small tent for two people you really need 2 doors / 2 vestibules. It was impossible to enter or exit the tent without stepping on (smearing with mud) the person closest to the door. If you are looking for a 2P tent for solo camping / just one person. This is a good tent for the price - super light, easy to set up etc. However if you are looking for a tent that will fit two people there are better options for the money.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • so far so good
