Gunnison 2.1
Reviewed by Idon Twanna, Aug 05, 2009

"I've used my Gunnison 2. 1 for two years now in spring, summer and fall. It fits a 25x78x2. 5 inch pad with room to spare for all my stuff. It has never leaked a drop despite some decent storms. It has received no special care other than hosing it off when dirty and always storing dry."

Gunnison 2.1
Reviewed by P. Witte, Dec 11, 2008

"My Gunnison 2. 0 lasted five nights. I have about seventy nights on the 2,1. The rain fly has basically worn out and Kelty did repair it. I could have used the same tape without being hung up for a week or so

My complaint is more with their customer service and sales departments or lack thereof."
