Kelty Late Start 2-Person Backpacking Tent — Lightweight, Quick Setup
The Kelty Late Start 2P is a lightweight backpacking tent built around one mission: the fastest possible setup after a long day on the trail. Kelty's Quick Corner technology uses color-coded pole pockets that you can operate in the dark, and pre-bent aluminum poles create steeper walls for more usable interior space. The 85 x 54 inch floor (31.9 sq ft) with a 43-inch peak height gives you sitting room for cards on rainy afternoons. A 68-denier polyester rainfly and bathtub floor with 1200mm waterproofing keep you dry through sustained rain. Packed weight is just 4 lbs 11 oz — competitive for a tent at this price point.

🏆 How It Compares
Compared to alternatives in the camping & outdoor category, the Kelty Late Start 2-Person Backpacking Tent — Lightweight, Quick Setup excels with quick corner color-coded system — pitch in the dark in under 2 minutes and aluminum poles (not fiberglass) — lighter and stronger for trail use. However, keep in mind single door — the person on the far side climbs over their partner and small vestibule — fits boots and a daypack, nothing more — consider whether these factors align with your specific needs before purchasing.
