The Sequoia 6 is Kelty's largest tent, and it has one door and a maximum center height of 6' 10, which is a little bit bigger than the average height of the 105 different 6 person tents we have examined With 87 square feet of room inside, it is significantly smaller than some other 6-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you and, up to five other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents like this one are an excellent choice for people who like spending heaps of hours outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

One of the many advantages of cabin tents is, that the walls of the tent are basically vertical creating a larger interior, this makes for plenty of headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much larger than other types of tents, in general the floor areas are quite large compared to other tents. In general cabin tents are used by families going on a camping trip in a car or a truck as they are quite heavy when compared to dome tents. This dose though make them well suited to cooler nights.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Sequoia 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 floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Tons of Headroom. With 6% more headroom than similar size tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
3. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Offers you a place to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
4. Internal storage. It is nice to see Kelty has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
5. Breathable. The Sequoia'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 summer.
6. 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.
7. Other sizes are available. Kelty has also made this model available in Other Sizes.

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Sequoia may not do best in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would need to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not spacious. With a floor area of 87 square feet, the Sequoia 6 is smaller than quite a lot of the 105 other 6 person tents we have looked at.
3. No windows. With no windows it is not simple to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.
4. Only one room. The Sequoia is suggested for 6 people, many other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.
5. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately specifically for the Sequoia 6 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 68D Polyester, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
