"The lightweight Kelty Crestone 2, configured with two doors and two vestibules to take maximum advantage of available living space, is an ideal tent for backpacking and other 3-season pursuits where weight is a concern. Individual clips secure two aluminum Featherlite poles quickly and easily for set-up. The mesh ceiling is great for star-gazing and both tent and fly are vented 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. Sneaking out to pee in the middle of the night without waking your partner has never been easier."

"Not what I expected. However, very light load to pack on your bag, and I will admit that it definitely stays very dry and circulates air very well. I used it camping out in New Hampshire in the White Mountains and a few local places and was surprisingly comfortable considering the size."

"My main quibble with the tent is that it has a low spot in the fly between the 2 poles so condensation collects on the inside and starts dripping on your sleeping bag at some point during the night. If you get lucky and the condensation freezes while it happens you just have to get up early enough in the morning before it has a chance to melt and start dripping."

"This tent will sleep 2 people, but I suggest those 2 people really like each other. 2 sleeping pads, even short ones, will overlap at the narrow end of the tent.

I prefer to use it as a 1 person tent, which allows me to bring all of my gear inside, except for my boots which fit nicely under the vestibule."

"Great tent for backpacking. Lightweight, easy to set and take down. The 2 ppl refers to sleeping only. I got it for myself because I like having the extra room. The vestibules on each side will hold pack and boots fine. The tunnel design give lots of room to those who are tall."

"The Crestone 2 is a jack-of-all-trades tent, but it's a master of none. For its weight, the Crestone 2 has quite a bit of room when you're laying down, but it is limited sitting space. It also has two doors is which is nice. When the rainfly is pitched, there's enough of an overhang to keep boots and packs dry."
