This is an adequate 3-season tent, but it has a serious flaw in the way the rainfly attaches to the four bottom corners of the tent. The problem is that the poorly-designed, flimsy clips that hold the fly corners down - don't hold. They don't even have a chance.

I'm surprised that Kelty would ship a tent with such a flaw. The clips couldn't have been tested. The buyer will have to replace the clips with something that will work...Fastex clips for example.
