Kelty Cyclone 3/4

I love this tent, simply stated the best tent I have ever owned. I bought mine used and the previous owner also raved about the tent!! I have had it out in 0 degree weather with the snow flying and it has held up amazingly!!

My buddy and I winter camp and it has suited us very well. Sleeps two comfortably thanks to the good sized dual vestibules!! There is plenty of space in them for a full size (6000 cu. in.) pack! I am 6'1" and I fit comfortably in the tent. It also has dual doors, which is a huge plus as you do not need to disrupt your buddy for a late night stroll!!

I just used this tent for the first time and we were hit with thunderstorms that produced small hail, winds strong enough to damage some homes in a nearby town and a couple of inches of rain. We stayed bone dry and the tent didn't budge an inch in all that wind. For the money, this is a great tent with lots of room and extras. It may be a bit on the heavy side for backpacking but the Cyclone 2 would be perfect for that. I would suggest this tent for beginners and serious campers alike. I would hold this tent up to a North Face or Moss tent any day.

This tent is unfortunately about ready for retirement, or zipper repairs, because I have used it a lot for car camping as well as backpacking. We were out in October in one of those 100-year rainstorms (with lots of wind) in southern Utah that washed out roads, etc., and the tent kept us completely dry. I sopped about 2 cups of water out of the tent after pitching it (that's a lot of rain!) and we got a bit of water inside getting in and out, and that was it.
