Comments about Kelty Grand Mesa 4 - 4 Person Tent:

Tent is very light for a four man, and solid. Surprisingly it is also very warm in cold weather.
I used it with two other guys on a hunting trip to temps in the mid to low twenties, and it was warm!
However, I would not try to sleep 4 men in this tent unless they are relatively short. Works well for 3 though. Held up great in wind and allowed very little draft despite some stiff winds one evening.

After reading the product description and the product reviews, I thought that this tent would have better suited a party of 3 in the BWCA. I have used many of Kelty's products over the years with much success and I do not aim to completely knock this tent. Outside of being sold at a great price the tent is very user friendly and sets up with ease. This is probably a great tent in temperatures above 50F, so if that is your intention, this tent has a lot of good features and for the price you should probably also buy better stakes and a storage canopy. ***This under no circumstance is a 3.5 season tent***

We encountered such extreme condensation issues that it was literally raining in our tent. It even rained from the mesh and side walls when we took of the rain fly and opened the door in fairly windy 26F weather. We tried placing MSR packtowels to trap condenstion, no luck their either. Rain, rain, and more condensation rain. It was almost like Chinese water torture. God forbid we maxed out the tent with 4 people.

The side walls also had so much water running down them that I awoke to a saturated sleeping bag and wet clothes and a serious chill at 2 AM. I was so wet I had to changed clothes, make a fire, and slept in a polymylar blanket. If not for an awesome bag and some good warm weather with a stiff breeze the next day I may have done that for the next 3 nights.

Thanks for reading.

I purchased this tent specifically for going to the Outer Banks which is super windy and sunny. I wanted a tent that would be good for venting heat and able to withstand the 20-30mph+ winds of Cape Hatteras. This tent easily withstood the wind, set up easily as well. Virtually zero stress and I was thoroughly surprised since 5 other tents from my group broke under the wind. The Aluminum poles are an absolute must. This tent is perfect for to fit 3 people comfortably. If you want a perfect tent for under $250 id say this is your best bet.

I bought this tent for my Fiancee to replace our tiny [@] tent. We both loved it! It's big enough to fit a queen size air mattress and still has room for whatever items you bring. We got rained on the last time we went out, and we woke up dry and comfortable. The set-up and take down is super easy.

I 'm a boy scoutmaster, so needless to say it rains when we camp. I used this tent for the first time after a ton of research. It was light very easy to set up. My only problem was with flap on the vestibule. when it's raining you must push the flap out as you unzip it otherwise the water on the fly will drain into the tent. and the "large vestibule" isn't. maybe your boots can be stored there.
Otherwise I stayed dry and warm in steady rain 40 degree temps.
overall a nice basic tent with plenty of room for 2 adults and gear or 3 small scouts.

They all overdue how many it will hold - 2 with gear is great. Long enough for 6'3" tall men. Snaps up by one easily.
