    Comments about Kelty Crestone 2 Tent:

    This tent was a good deal. It's well made and easy to set up. It has lots of mesh, for breathability and air on hot nights. It has two vestibules and doors, which is nice. The drawbacks are that it is not freestanding, so I have had some difficulty setting it up on rocky surfaces and it is also too small for two Thermarests - you have to overlap them to fit.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Kelty Crestone 2 Tent:

      For the price this tent has been perfect for summer camping. The vestibules are very roomy, and have kept my belongings dry in stormy weather. The interior is a bit small (hard to imagine 2 people in there) but suits my purposes just right. The weight is light. Only draw back that I see is that is is not free-standing. Not good for rock set-up.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Kelty Crestone 2 Tent:

      I've taken my tent for a few hikes in Southern Ohio and two, week long trips on the AT. I paid [$] for it and was impressed with how lightweight it was.The tent serves its' purpose and was the first backpacking tent I had purchased. Some say they wish it was free standing but most freestanding tents should be staked for stability, but I understand the option would be nice. You can sleep two, but you better be comfortable with the other person in the tent. Also, no room for backpacks, but I didn't expect there to be. I'm 6'1 175 lbs and I could almost sit.The biggest downfall is that the zippers seem to be cheap and feel like they might break at anytime. However, they haven't broken yet so I can't truly complain.My first backpack was a Kelty Tornado 4900 which I truly enjoyed. Until I picked up an Osprey Atmos 65 that is about half the weight. Point is, Kelty makes solid equipment but they are not going to be the best. I plan on keeping this tent but adding a slightly larger, true two man, or three man backpacking tent.
