Reviews & Ratings for Kelty Trail Ridge 3 Tent - 3 person, 3 season — 2 reviews — Page 1

I bought two of these tents for my sons & their wives for Christmas, so they haven't used them, yet. Both wanted to upgrade their current backpacking tents to a 3-man for extra room and to accommodate for a dog. It is heavier than some of the top 3-man backpacking tents, but not by much. I checked out both tents to be sure all was included and was impressed that it included a footprint. The mesh and fly seem to be good quality. I am an avid backpacker for the past 35 years and tend to be a gear junkie, so like the quality of this tent. Can't wait to check out these tents on our next backpacking trip. Love Campsaver! Prompt service, delivery and great prices. I will shop with them again.

We received the Trail Ridge 3 as a Christmas gift and it has been really great to camp in. It comes with a footprint and a rain fly. The rain fly extends out beyond each of the two doors to form little rainproof outdoor "rooms" where you can store shoes and other wet gear without getting the mess inside of the tent. The tent also features a large window on one side for star gazing. It's really easy to roll the fly up and down - you barely have to exit the tent to catch a view or to protect from rain. The only drawback to this tent is that, unlike tents with poles that are all the same length, there's really only one right way to put it together - the poles are color coded to fit the ends, which makes it simple to set up during the day, but if it's dark out, you'll definitely need a flashlight to make sure you've got it right. Otherwise you risk bending the poles a little out of shape, which happened to me in one spot but it's really not so bad - with the ends in the correct spots it still stands pretty much like new. A recommended product!
