Product Descriptions
REI Description: The Kelty Salida tent is designed for 3-season use and is a great all-around, lightweight backpacking tent. A quote from the 2011. "Tents tend to seesaw between weight and price: As one goes up, the other goes down. The light-load, low-cost Salida 2 turns that equation on its head". With over 10 ft. of vestibule space and a spacious interior, this tent offers a comfortable backcountry escape. Freestanding design with color-coded clip construction is easy to set up and maneuver around. Mesh walls encourage good cross-ventilation. DAC(R) Pressfit aluminum poles offer durability and longevity. Polyester rainfly won't sag when wet; adjustable webbing/side-release buckles attach rainfly to tent. ArcEdge(TM) catenary floor/wall design keeps seams off the ground and watertight; taped seams ensure weather protection. Kelty Salida 2 tent features internal storage pockets, gear loft loops, noiseless zipper pulls and multiple guyout points. Includes stuff sacks, guyline/tighteners and stakes.

Best value 2011!

1st analysis.Just got this tent off ebay for $114.Shopped around for a 2 man (using it solo but wanted more room) 3 season for last 6 months.Price range was $100-$150.I liked the Kelty Grand Mesa but wanted the door on the wide side. If I'm stuck in there due to weather I want to look outside while laying on my side vs on my stomach. also easier to access pack in the vestibule. I looked at the Teton 2 also but didn;t like the incomplete fly. The Gunnison was a little out of my price range. Kelty nailed it with the Salida. Best of both worlds, more screen, weighs less.Same size as the rest.Upon initial set up I am very pleased with the quality of the tent. Easy to set up. I actually let a seven year old with no prior tent pitching experience do it and he intuitively pitched in in a few minutes.I'm glad I waited until 2011 and glad Kelty put out just the product I was looking for.If they let me design my own tent this is exactly what I would have done.
