cmal's Review of Kelty Salida 1 Tent - 1 Person-3 Season

For the price, it's hard to imagine anything better. It's roomy enough inside that my 6'1" body can sit up and get changed. There's also enough room on the sides to put a few things down which is nice. Are there better, lighter tents out there? I am sure. But for the price, I'll stick with this one for a while.

I changed out the bag (64g) that it comes in and put the tent in its own stuff sac (11g). Same with the fly(11g). Not too much weight savings (1.5oz), but easier to pack each separate piece in my pack.

Rolling up the fly door and hooking it so it stays open is a pain and you can't really do it from inside the tent. I don't know that there is a great fix for this, and it's minor, really.
Pros:
  • Easy Set Up
  • Price
  • Roomy
Cons:
  • Not super light
  • needs some vents on fly
  • the bag it comes in
  • vestibule is a little too small for my liking
Best Used for:
  • Backpacking
Would Recommend: Yes
