The Kelty Gunnison Tent provides an affordable and quality product to take on your camping trip. We will be giving a quick Kelty Gunnison review below.

Who are Kelty?

The Kelty Gunnison Tent range is made by Kelty. Kelty has been around since 1952 making outdoor gear which includes camping tents, sleeping bags, backpacks and other outdoor camping supplies. The range of products offer something for the family and experiecend campers also. The products are always reliable and also affordable.

The Kelty Gunnison Tents

There are number of different tents in the Gunnison range by Kelty. Below is a list of some of the models.

  • Kelty Gunnison 2 (2.1)
  • Kelty Gunnison 3 (3.1)
  • Kelty Gunnison 4 (4.1)

As you can see we have included some of the model number in brackets this is because the proper model names are 2.1 etc but they are better know without the .1 addition.

The number after each model depicts the capacity in how much people you can fit in the tent so for example the Kelty Gunnison 2 is a 2 man tent.

Kelty Gunnison 2 Tent

Kelty Gunnison TentThe Kelty Gunnison two comes in at a great price and is very lightweight (4 lbs) so it makes it a good choice for backpacking with. The Gunnison 2 comes with 2 doors and 2 vestibules which we thought was pretty neat for a two man tent.

Due to its design you have the option of using one part of the tent to hold all your mucky footwear and stinky clothes leaving the other a nice smell free place to lay your head for the night.

Another neat thing is the rain fly has windows, yep pretty cool eh so when you lay your head down at night you can also check out the stars from within your tent.

Some Features of the Kelty Gunnison 2.1

  • nice taped seams
  • guyout points
  • noiseless zipper pulls

Kelty Gunnison 4 Tent

As with the Kelty Gunnison 3 the 4 has all the same features as the Gunnison 2 tent as described above. The difference as we mentioned is basically the size and of course the price.

In the Gunnison 4 you have a weight of 7 lb 7 oz. and a 5.3 metre squared floor area so its nice a spacious. Again the area is split into 2 vestibules and you have 2 doors again.
