Kelty Gunnison 1 Person With Footprint Dome Tent Review

The Gunnison 1 With Footprint has one door and a peak center height of 3' 7, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 68 different 1 person tents we have examined With 18 square feet of room inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 1-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you during the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents like this one often can make a very nice choice for campers that enjoy spending lots of time outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

Some of the great things about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part light, making them simple to carry around. In near all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very easy to set up. In good weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the other sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing water to roll off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the rain pooling on the roof. The simplest dome tent should have a rectangular footprint, slanted sides a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is typically thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Gunnison With Footprint can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Offers you a place to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Kelty has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
4. Includes FootPrint. It is not often we see a footprint included with the tent. It is suggested to always use a footprint, so not having to buy one is a plus.
5. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the whole body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1800mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy downpours.
6. If you are searching for this actual tent, you are in luck it has been discontinued on the manufactures website, but is still available elsewhere.
7. Plenty of Positive Reviews The Gunnison 1 has Lots of very good Reviews
8. Other sizes are available. Kelty has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
9. Low price. It is a great purchase for a 1 person dome tent providing this much space. Not many tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $159.95

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 18 square feet, the Gunnison 1 is smaller than quite a lot of the 68 other 1 person tents we have looked at.
2. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many qualities to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.

Kelty's Gunnison 1 With Footprint tent is ideal for backpacking. Here are a few other nice points not mentioned above which, we found and liked, while researching the model: The carrying bag is roomy and allows for wiggle-room in packing., Guyout points provide plenty of spots to secure tent and fly and One side of rainfly has a dual-zipper vestibule that doubles as an awning when set up with trekking poles (poles not included).

With great ratings, quite a few reviews and a center height of 3' and 18 square feet of area to sleep, this tent is like your very own little studio. This enables you to enjoy some real quality moments in the outdoors. We found a decent amount of positive points about the tent that you can look at above.

If you found this website looking for suggestions about this actual tent, our view is, it should make for an excellent purchase. If you simply happened to land on this website while browsing for a brand new tent having not heard of this brand or this tent model previously, it is probably a good idea to check out a few more similar tents.

Value for money: In so much as value for money, this tent is undoubtedly cheaper than the usual price of all the one hundred and five, one-person tents we have studied, this itself does not make it excellent value for money. We also need to take into account other things in detail, as we do for each tent.

When we tally up the ratings of a single tent, we examine loads of conditions, searching for things where the tent could outdo other near-identical tents and where it is coming up short. On this occasion, with an overall score of 4.5 and the price data above, we can identify that with a ticket price of $159.95 Kelty's Gunnison 1 With Footprint is a good purchase and astonishingly priced when compared with comparable tents.

The ratings show that the quality and space the tent provides were not compromised to get a price significantly below the normal price for comparable tents. It is also worth noting it is marked down by 0% from the manufactures suggested retail price. It will make a very good choice for nearly all campers searching for an appropriate three-season backpacking tent to go camping with, that will serve you well for years to come.
