Nice tent

by William J., Verified Owner from IN, United States Updated on April 20, 2020

I haven’t had the chance to camp in it yet and really test it out. I have set it up though. The setup is dead simple, the tent appears to be made very well, there is enough room for me and my gear, the vestibule is also of good size.

Great Two Person Tent

by The Moondog, from NM, United States Updated on June 25, 2019

I had to replace my two person tent that had been gifted to. It was cheaply made and its days were numbered. I am a fan of Kelty products so I did a search for Kelty tent and decided on the Salida 2 Dome tent. It has quality Kelty construction, and is super easy to set up.

Great Tent, Great Price!

by slapHappy, from TX, United States Updated on June 17, 2019

Thank you Kelty

by Walter, from CO, United States Updated on April 18, 2019

The Kelty Salida2 was the lightest version of this tent I could find in this price range. To lose a few ounces would be very expensive. The quality of fabric and the worksmanshop is very nice. My friend had a $400. tent that has a more prestigious name, but the quality was the same. I added a footprint and attic;now I am ready for my annual bike trip.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Lightly heavier than my Clip Flashlight2.

Best Used for:

Times when a free standing tent is a must. I replaced my beloved Sierra Designs Clip Flashlight2 in case I need the freestanding feature.
