Amazingly at just 7 lbs, this 3-season Kelty Salida 4 Tent with 54 square feet of floor space and 11 square feet of vestibule space sleeps 4 comfortably (yes 4!). In other words, it’s super lightweight and absolutely big enough for the whole family. But the real test is how easy it is to set-up, and Kelty did an incredible job here with just 2 poles (that’s right, just 2) and their color coded clip construction… because let’s admit it, who wants to spend a lot of time setting up a tent after a long hike through the backcountry. Kelty also has a Salida 4 footprint which weighs just 13 oz, which is a great idea if you’re camping on moist ground, as well as a 2-person version of this tent which is a winner too.
