Kelty Trail Dome 4 Tent
Description
Great for camping on warm summer nights, Kelty's Trail Dome 4 Tent is one of the best values you can tote into the backcountry. This 55-square-foot design has ventilated panels on all sides and a mesh ceiling for exceptional airflow and comfortable cooling. The mesh panels can also be closed for privacy, but keep in mind that the Trail Dome 4 is a three-season tent--it doesn't have the warmth of those pricey four-season climbing tents, but you do get the nice extras like internal storage pockets, gear loft loops and convenient guy-out points for extra support. One important consideration is the door design--the Trail Dome 4 Tent has one door, which might be a concern if you're camping with kids who need quick access outside for midnight bathroom breaks. The single door configuration saves both weight and cost, which makes the Trail Dome 4 suitable for light family backpacking. The two DAC poles are structurally rugged but slightly heavier than the ultra-refined tent poles that you usually find on higher priced tents. Above the door and back mesh window you'll find attachments for shorter lightweight fiberglass brow poles that help keep rain from seeping inside the tent door whenever it's open. If you're looking for a four person tent and you still need to consider the costs of a camping stove, cooking kit and hiking boots, the Kelty Trail Dome 4 Tent is an affordable choice that doesn't stick you with cheap components. If you're looking for extra room in a dual door design, consider Kelty's larger Trail Dome 6 Tent.

Its a decent tent
May 18, 2012
The first night I used this tent there were some very strong winds. The Alunimum poles kept the tent from caving in on our faces but when I took the tent down the poles had a permenent bend at the top and now it is a little lopsided. I was able to bend them back though. This tent has and easy setup and does stand strong with all the stake points you can use. It is very light and simple to setup. This is my most used tent.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use
Cons: Cost
