Kelty Wireless 6 Person Dome Tent Review

The Wireless 6 has two doors and a peak center height of 6' 4, which is a little bit bigger than the average height of the 105 various 6 person tents we have studied. With 70 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 whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents like this one can generally make a nice choice for campers that like spending loads of time outside their tent getting some air.

Many of the fantastic points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking light, making them simple to carry. In most all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In calm weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the different sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in storms than other types, allowing water to roll off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the roof. The simplest dome tent should have a square footprint, slanted sides two or more poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Because of their construction, it is usually thought of that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 people.

Underneath you can see a list of the tent's pros and cons.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Wireless 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 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. 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. Breathable. The Wireless'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 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 rain.
7. If you are looking for this actual tent, you are in luck it has been discontinued on the manufactures website, but is still available elsewhere.
8. Other sizes are available. Kelty has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
9. Low price. It is a great buy for a 6 person dome tent providing this much room. Not a lot of tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $279.95

CONS

1. Vulnerable to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Wireless may not do well 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 want to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not roomy. With a floor area of 70 square feet, the Wireless 6 is smaller than quite a few of the 105 other 6 person tents we have looked at.
3. No windows. With no windows it is not easy to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.
4. Only one room. The Wireless is suggested for 6 campers, many other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.
5. Fiberglass poles. Poles made of fiberglass help to keep the price down, they do though tend to be not as strong. This is yet another reason to only use the Wireless in calm weather.
6. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately designed for the Wireless 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.
7. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of attributes to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
