Product Highlights

The Yellowstone is an economical alternative for the cost conscious hiker. The Yellowstone is easy to set-up. Designed for family camping, the Yellowstone can also serve as an entry level backpacking tent. The Kelty Yellowstone is a much higher quality tent than you'll find in your local "Mart" store.

The Yellowstone lacks some of the features found in higher end backpacking tents. The fiberglass poles are heavier and more fragile than aluminum poles. The packaged weight of 6 lb. 1 oz is heavier than most 2-person backpacking tents, but is still within reasonable limits. There is no vestibule for stowing gear overnight.

Bottom Line: if you're looking for a tent for infrequent backpacking trips without investing a fortune in gear, the Yellowstone is an adequate choice.

Likes: great tent! i've been camping with it twice and its held up very well. i'd definitely suggest buying it, especially with kelty's lifetime warranty.

Dislikes: the pole for the rainfly is a little too long making it difficult to put the rainfly up. but other than that the tent is amazing.

Likes: This tent was put to the test its very first time out. I was backpacking in central Idaho in the pouring rain. Not one drop got inside. It assembled in a matter of minutes and when we got home it was completely dry in about an hour.

Dislikes: The only thing that I think could be improved is a little larger awning in front of the opening.
