Product Highlights

The Kelty Gunnison 3.1 backpacking tent offers an excellent set of features at an affordable price. With two doors, two vestibules, internal storage pockets and gear loft loops, the Gunnison 3.1 is a whole lot of tent for the money you'll spend.

Hubbed DAC Pressfit aluminum poles offer strength and stability to the Gunnison 3.1. Lightweight corner supports help to eliminate pole rotation and increase overall strength considerably. Color coded clip construction makes the tent a cinch to set up. The freestanding design allows you to pitch the Gunnison 3.1 and then move it around your campsite to find the optimum position, eliminating an uncomfortable night's sleep over an exposed root or rock.

The Gunnison 3.1 provides 48 sq. ft. of interior space and boasts 2 doors and 2 large vestibules. Offering a combined 25 sq. ft. of exterior storage space, the dual vestibules are perfect for stowing gear and muddy boots. The two doors provide exit and entry options.

Sidewall vents, a mesh ceiling and fly vents provide great airflow, preventing condensation build-up on the interior of the Gunnison 3.1. A PU polyester-taffeta rainfly provides excellent weather and UV protection. Maximizing livability, especially in foul weather, welded rainfly windows provide a view of the outside. Kelty's patented ArcEdge construction lifts the floor seams up off the ground, eliminating potential for leaks.

An optional footprint (sold separately) further protects the Kelty Gunnison 3.1 against ground water, roots and rocks.

Review Date: 1/23/2010

Likes: After searching through many different products, I finally decided on this one and had it delivered today. I couldn't wait to try it, so I set it up at my home. Even without the instruction, it was very easy to set up. The floor plan was good, so that my 6'3" 215 lbs. frame and my girlfriend's 5'3" 110 lbs. frame were fit in very comfortably. It was so comfy that my girlfriend had a sweet nap for awhile. This product is well made in all aspects, and we can't wait to go out soon.

Dislikes: It would be nice to have a bigger vestibule to put the gears under. That's why I would rate this 4.5.

Review Date: 8/10/2009

Likes: Great tent that fits 3 average sized people perfectly. The entire package is lightweight and the proportions are good. There are two gear pockets and a gear loft to hold any essentials inside the tent leaving plenty of floor space for sleeping pads and bags. This tent also has big windows for ventilation. Weather (e.g. wind and rain) are not a problem.

Dislikes: Without the right gear a person may get cold due to the ventilation. Wind can catch from under the fly and create a current through the tent in windy conditions. This tent would not hold 3 large people.

Customer: Lawrence B. - Lakeland, FL
Review Date: 7/2/2009

Likes: Easy to set up, roomy, stays dry in a long rain, good in high winds, not too heavy. We actually took the Gunnison 3.1 on a trip down the Gunnison River for six days. On one rainy night only three tents out of eight stayed completely dry; two of them were Kelty Gunnison. The set-up is amazingly easy, but you pobably want to do it once before going out.

Dislikes: Lack of set-up instructions for the rainfly. It was easy enough to figure out, it would be nice if you could see out of the top with it on, but that's no big deal

Review Date: 6/15/2009

Likes: Great tent. Have used it twice so far, once for car camping and the other time for backpacking. Very light and extremely easy to set-up. Nice ventilation and full-coverage rain fly held up well to the little rain we got. Excellent deal as well. Got it for over $60 less than REI with Inside Edge discount.

Dislikes: Nothing so far.

Likes: Very light tent, easy to setup.

Dislikes: Very small vestibules. If using air bad there is almost no room: I mean you can stretch your arm and hit the wall.

Review Date: 5/18/2009

Likes: Tent was easy to setup by one person. Adequate room for 2 plus some gear. Help up spectacularly in heavy downpour (no leaks or seepage). Well constructed and light enough to carry.

Dislikes: Could use some more ventiliation when the vestibule is zipped closed. Only has two small vents near the roof under the rain fly. Could be a problem in the zummer.

Customer: Erich L. - Port Jefferson Station, NY
Review Date: 5/5/2009

Likes: Quality Product, ease of setup and the price was just right for this class of Tent. I would recommend this for anyone looking for simple setup and needing something that could go almost 3.5 seasons.

Dislikes: Not sure how well it will hold up in heavy rains becasue the side vents are only 6 inches off the ground, we'll have to wait and see. Would liked it packed into sa smaller sack, it swims a little in the one it came with.

Customer: Robert P. - Hanover, MI
Review Date: 4/22/2009

Likes: Great quality, well designed tent. Everything is made to last for years of back country use. Two doors, room for three kids or two adults. Vestibules are (just) large enough to keep your backpack and boots protected. A lot of tent for the money.

Dislikes: The only real complaint is that the two clear windows on the fly are so large they compromise privacy.

Review Date: 4/18/2009

Likes: Superlight for a 3 person tent. It is also very roomy. I camped in it for a weekend with no problems. Setup was a breeze. The side doors make it easy to get in or out.

Dislikes: The floor is a little thin, so I highly recommend the footprint.

Review Date: 4/15/2009

Likes: Several positives about this tent: Good ventilation, duel entry, stands up well to rain, connectors are nice, plenty of room, easy set up and decent vestibule space.

Dislikes: Would be great if it was a lighter but it is a 3 person.

Review Date: 3/16/2009

Likes: I'm new to hiking and have only been on a couple of hikes before I ordered this tent on accident (meant to get the 2.1), but found the extra room to be nice without too much additional heft for a weekend trip. The tent held up to light rain nice and was easy to set up. Also liked the ball joint connection and the connectors around the poles.

Dislikes: Nothing really to complain about, the rain fly connectors were a little tough to take on and off.
