Kelty Ouray 3 3-Season Backpacking Tent

Product Highlights

New for 2008! With a unique structural design and breathable mesh, the Kelty Ouray 3 is a feature-rich 3-person, 3-season backpacking tent. A hubbed pole design lends impressive strength to the Ouray 3 and makes setup and teardown easy.

The Ouray 3's progressive dome shape is achieved by the use of a sturdy hubbed DAC Featherlite NSL pole. This design offers strength and stability to the tent body while making the walls of the tent stand more vertical than traditional dome tents. An additional length of pole crosses over the canopy of the Ouray 3, aiding in the overall verticality of the tent walls, maintaining overhead peak height and bolstering the strength of the tent. Lightweight corner supports help to eliminate pole rotation and increase overall strength considerably. Color coded clips quickly and easily attach the tent body to the poles, making the Ouray 3 a cinch to put up and take down.

The Ouray 3 has 45 sq. ft. of interior floor space and dual vestibules provide a combined 18.8 sq. ft. of exterior space for stowing gear and muddy boots. The Ouray 3's two doors offer convenient entry and exit for inhabitants and eliminate the need to crawl over top of other sleepers when nature calls in the middle of the night!

Mesh doors, a mesh ceiling and mesh sidewalls combine to allow air flow and prevent condensation build-up on the interior of the Ouray 3. 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 Ouray 3 against ground water, roots and rocks.
