Choosing the Right Kelty Tent for Your Camping Needs
Kelty Tents offers a fabulous array of tents, from 2 person backpacking tents to 7 person family tents Kelty Tents just cannot be beat when it comes to value.
The price range for these tents is in the low to medium range, so you will not be breaking the bank when you purchase one for your camping needs.
The most popular models come with DAC aluminum poles. The DAC aluminum poles are some of the best on the market and are usually found only on much more expensive tents.
If you are looking for the greatest value, it seems obvious that Kelty Tents will offer the perfect fit for your budget and camping needs.
Something to remember when choosing a tent, whether for yourself or your family, is that most camping tent suppliers are very liberal when it comes to their capacity rating. I personally like to cut this number in half. If a capacity rating is 2-person tent, then I will expect that tent to comfortably fit one person and some camping gear.
Likewise, I expect a 4-person tent to comfortably fit two people and some camp gear. The beauty of Kelty Tents is that they are medium priced, so make sure you choose the proper capacity rating necessary for your needs so that you get the most value out of your new Kelty Tent.
Like all tents, Kelty Tents do have some weather issues. My research has shown that almost every tent on the market has some weather issues when it comes to the bottom corners, they will often leak a bit. This is a common problem and can be solved by applying some seam sealant to these corners and anywhere else you think might need a little more weatherproofing. Of course this would not be a huge issue if your plans include camping in the desert heat, but I want you to get the most out of your fabulous new Kelty Tent, so take the time to make it perfect right out of the gate.
Do not forget to keep your zippers waxed also, as this is a very common problem with all tents, the zippers get wet from either condensation or rain and they seize up over time. Also make sure you never put your tent away to be stored while it is wet or damp, it will mold and mildew and can be a real pain to clean up afterwards.
When choosing your Kelty Tent make sure that you look at the ventilation qualities. In the desert heat you will be more concerned with having a large rainfly and screen, while if you are going to extremely wet and windy areas you will be looking for more side ventilation that you can place away from the wind. When in extremely hot environments it would be a mistake to forget about condensation, while the wet and windy environments have their obvious drawbacks also!
Your new Kelty Tent comes with a lifetime warranty, so choose the right one and have fun camping!
