Very nice tent
By dbollie
Bought this tent for occasional car camping.Really happy with it, the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I think it is a bit if a reach to call it a 6 person tent. Yes, you probably could put 6 people - alternating head to toe and sideways (as shown in the enclosed instruction book) but I would say 3 and a bit of gear would be comfortable. Also, Kelty does not do themselves any favors with the packaging - the box this tent comes in has a picture of a much smaller tent (their 2 or maybe 4 person) and I was really nervous about what I had purchased until I assembled it for the first time.Apart from that, very happy with the tent. Putting it up is an absolute snap. My 9 year old son and I had it up in less than ten minutes. I can even put it up by myself if need be. The two poles are made of beefy aluminum with pre-set curvature. The tent and rain-fly design is a bit different from most other tents but worked out great. The rain fly basically covers the entire tent and creates a front, enclosed vestibule. Essentially, you end up with a tent inside a tent. During our trip it rained virtually non-stop for 36 hours - and I mean rained hard! With high winds as well. The tent was the only refuge from the storm and stayed dry the whole time (we did not do any sort of seam sealing either). We didn't get a chance to experience a night without the rain fly but imagine it would be pretty comfortable on even a very warm night as there is alot of screen area for air flow and ventilation. The stakes that come with this tent are a relatively sturdy looking steel (better than most that you see). Would definitely recommend this to a friend.

By N. Rengler
Nice tent, good quality, easy to set up and actually fits back into its stuff sack. My only gripe is the tent should have stake grommets or loops mid point at the bottom of both sides and perhaps the back (where the side and rear panels are seamed with the floor). With stakes only at each of the four corners, the side and rear panels sag a bit, and the floor is not tight. The easiest way to explain it is: Imagine yourself IN the tent - you can reach down at the seam between the floor and side or rear panels and literally pull the fabric in about a foot. This makes for a non-tight floor. Fortunately, I knew about Sierra tent guyout clips, and with those the tent is close to perfect. Minor gripe, I suppose, but a few pennies for three stake loops (each side and the back) would have been a good design idea.

Kelty Mesa 6 thoughts
By D. Williams
We bought this tent for our family of 5 and it has been great. It has a large vestibule and is very quick and easy to set up. The tent is lightweight and the aluminum poles are light and strong.
