Kelty Tents

Kelty Tents - Here's a list of the tents from Kelty that I like (based solely on specs / promo materials). These are all 2-person, 3-season tents unless noted otherwise:

Trail Dome 2 Soft Top, 5 lb 6 oz
- 30 sq ft, no vestibule, single door
- this is the cheapest of the 2-person tents (IIRC)

Zen Soft Top, 5 lb 12 oz
- smallest of the bunch, 30 sq ft + 6 sq ft vestibule, single door

Tao 2 Soft Top, 6 lb 3 oz
- 30 sq ft + 10 sq ft vestibule
- box shape (2 arches from opposite corners)

Riverbend 2 Soft Top, 6 lb 7 oz
- 34 sq ft + 8 sq ft vestibule
- 2 pole freestanding design, makes the door seem smaller though

Jetstream Convertible Soft Top, 6 lb 13 oz
- 37 sq ft + dual 12 sq ft vestibules
- 2 doors, there's an optional hard-top fly for winter

Vortex 2 Soft Top, 6 lb 15 oz
- heavy, bumping up against 7 lbs, but has 2 doors and 2 vestibules
- 37 sq ft + dual 12 sq ft vestibules
- similar design to the Jetstream
