Kelty Outfitter Pro 4 Person Dome Tent Review

The Outfitter Pro 4 has two doors and a peak center height of 4' 4, which is 11 inches smaller than the average height of the 134 various 4 person tents we have examined With 60 square feet of space inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, up to three other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one often can make a superb choice for campers who love spending loads of hours outside their tent getting some air.

A few of the cool things about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part not too heavy, making them simple to carry. In nearly all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In calm weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most commonly seen of all the various sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the water to pool on the top. The simplest dome tent will have a rectangular floor, slanted walls a couple of poles which converge in the center of the roof. Because of their construction, it is typically thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Outfitter Pro can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need 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. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Affords you somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Internal storage. It is good to see Kelty has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 210D Nylon, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to tears and punctures. Also, the material has a 3000 mm waterproofing rating, which is pretty good for most circumstances.
6. Breathable. The Outfitter Pro's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the warmer months.
7. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the entire 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.
8. Available in other sizes. Kelty has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
9. Low price. It is a great deal for a 4 person dome tent that provides this much room. Not many tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $359.95

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 60 square feet, the Outfitter Pro 4 is smaller than quite a few of the 134 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 11% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some people.
3. No windows. With no windows it is not simple to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.
4. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately designed for the Outfitter Pro 4 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 210D Nylon, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
5. Discontinued: Unfortunately this particular tent has been discontinued on the manufactures website and is no longer available elsewhere, that we know of.
6. A tad heavy for backpacking. Even though the Outfitter Pro 4, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 8 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
7. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have heaps of attributes to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
