From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Crestone 1 is a lightweight design that is perfect for solo backpackers who are watch their weight."
From Backcountry Outlet:
"The minimalist Kelty Crestone 1, configured with a vestibule to take maximum advantage of available living space, is an ideal tent for backpacking and other 3-season pursuits where weight is a primary concern. Individual clips secure two aluminum Featherlite poles quickly and easily for set up. The mesh ceiling is great for star-gazing and Kelty vented both the tent and fly to increase air circulation and prevent condensation. Other features include taped seams, internal storage pockets, an easy buckle tent/fly connection, and noiseless zipper pulls. Solo camping has never been easier."

Features a polyester rainfly for a taut pitch in wet weather, DAC Featherlite® poles and a durable polyurethane-coated nylon taffeta floor. Color-coded clip construction provides easy setup, especially in windy weather. ArcEdge® floor remains taut with specially constructed waterproof seams that are up off the ground. Side wall vents and mesh ceiling help keep air flowing to prevent condensation. Side-release buckles make quick and easy work of tent-to-rainfly connection. Kelty's attention to detail shows with features such as their noiseless, reflective zipper pulls and internal storage pockets. Includes stuff sacks, guyline and stakes. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."
