KELTY was once a good brand. now they are selling cheap tents where something breaks within a few uses. bought a new late start 4 tent. after only 4 outings, tent pole broke will setting up. tried to contact them for warranty replacement. impossible. they have some stupid robot response system ask you questions and what you need but does nothing but waste your time. i finally gave up when i could never talk to a HUMAN to get a very simple part replacement facilitated. to much wasted time trying to fix the pole so NOT WORTH IT. my time is too valuable. NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM KELTY, YOU WILL TREATED with disrespect. CHEAPLY MADE PRODUCTS WITH NO SUPPORT!
We've had this tent for a year now and it's held up great. It's quick and easy to set up and put away.
