Why We Like The Kelty Late Start Tent: 2 Person 3-Season
We may be running late, but the Late Start Tent sets up fast and easy, thanks to Kelty's Quick-Corner technology, which makes it easy to slip in our poles and pitch our tent, so we can catch some sleep and start our weekend. This double-wall tent features full mesh walls with a waterproof rain fly, so we can enjoy our campsite in three seasons, rain or shine.

Packaged weight?
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
The Late Start 2 tent sets up very quickly, as advertised, but the rainfly takes me about three times as long. As with most "two person" tents, those two people ideally are in love and small. Backcountry lists the packaged weight as 4 lbs 8 oz, Kelty lists it as 4 lbs 12 oz, and mine weighs in at a hair under 5 lbs. I never heard back from Kelty when I asked about the discrepancy. Although it's a perfectly good tent, I don't think I would have bought it if I knew about the extra half pound.
