Product Highlights

The Kelty Gunnison 4.1 backpacking/camping 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 4.1 is a whole lot of tent for the money you'll spend.

Hubbed DAC Featherlite NSL aluminum poles offer strength and stability to the Gunnison 4.1. 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 4.1 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 4.1 provides 57 sq. ft. of interior space and boasts 2 doors and 2 large vestibules. Offering more than 30 sq. ft. of combined 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 4.1. 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 4.1 against ground water, roots and rocks.

Likes: I own the Gunnison 2.1 and love it. I needed a larger tent for the two grandkids as the 2.1 is great for one. The Gunnison 4.1 works well for an adult and two kids. I appreciate others concerns about low windows yet when it is hot out one needs the ventilation. I have not had problems with watter splashing into the screen windows. Use a ground cloth or foot print and adjust the rain fly and we had no problems. The clip on tent to pole feature allows the kids to help set up the tent. We used a tent with slid through sleeves in the tent and found set up very difficult. This problem does not exist with the Kelty! I suspect I will pass this tent down to the next generation.

Dislikes: I like everything about the tent. Mine included a attic or shelf in the tent peg bag. The pegs are not so hot. I use old steel pegs I have used for years. Get the gold pegs or substitute stronger pegs. I do not know why Kelty does not improve the pegs in their quality tent.

Likes: The setup is simple. Both poles are attactched making it impossible to lose one of them. All clips are color coded making it nearly impossible to set up incorrectly. Gear loft on the interior is convenient. Mesh walls keep the interior cool in the summer. Rainfly is affecttive and provides nice vestibule space for your pack or boots. Overall a very good tent for the price.

Dislikes: The stakes bend easily if the ground is hard. A small amount water can splash in the mesh walls during a heavy rainfall if the rainfly is not guyed out properly.

Review Date: 11/3/2009

Likes: Gunnison 4.1 was priced properly well designed and has had bombproof performance over 7 months of heavy scout use. It's lightweight, easy to set up and has successfully fended off heavy winds and rain with out fail. However, you do need to guy out the fly to avoid having water splatter on lower vent screens.

Dislikes: the stakes are not strong enough for hard clay and bend too easily. However the upgrade to the gold no bendum stakes was a winner.

Review Date: 7/9/2009

Likes: Great product for the price, very good amount of floor space relative to weight. Extremely easy set up, impossible to loose the poles or pack them poorly since they are connected. Doors are well designed, easy to open. Has performed almost flawlessly in some hard use thus far.

Dislikes: The screen windows that are low on the ends of the tent should be abandoned. They leak water that splashes up from the ground in heavy rains. This can usually be avoided by guying out the rain fly properly. As with all Kelty tents, better stakes are needed with this one. Great product all around regardless.

Review Date: 1/9/2009

Likes: The intelligent design makes this tent easy to set up. Takes about 5 to 7 minutes. The 2 doors make entering and exiting much easier, especially with a full house. Good ventilation with handy storage areas inside the tent. Seems to hold up well in windy and rainy conditions. This is a quality tent. I can't imagine a better tent at this price.

Dislikes: You need to buy stronger stakes than those provided, if you plan on setting this tent up on hard ground.
