Description

The Quartz 1 is a four-season tent made by Kelty. It has an average rating of 5 stars (out of 5), based on 2 user reviews.

Here's what other sites are saying:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The all-purpose Quartz 1 mountaineering tent is a lightweight, two-pole, easy-pitch tent."

From REI:
"ArcEdge floor remains taut with specially constructed waterproof seams that are up off the ground. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only. Closeable mesh panels and rainfly vents provide adjustable airflow to allow good moisture evaporation. Features clear windows in front vestibule, guyout points and noiseless zipper pulls. FlyBoy technology anchors the body, rainfly and poles together into a single, unified, self-reinforcing structure. Freestanding design allows easy setup, while the DAC Pressfit poles feature a pressed-in ferrule, ensuring poles remain strong and reliable. If you're looking for a simple, lightweight tent for 3-season, light-snow backpacking, the Quartz will fill the bill. Internal pockets and gear loft loops keep stuff organized inside. UV-resistant polyester rainfly doesn't stretch or expand when wet, ensuring a consistently taut pitch. Vaulted pole sleeves increase airflow between tent and rainfly to prevent condensation. Webforce stabilizes the tent further and eases setup; trusses guide poles through intersections, and tendons lock stakeout points to FlyBoy."

"Great tent for light duty winter camping, held up to 25-30 mile hour winds, definitely warmer than a 3-season tent, minimal condensation, is a little confining but I did manage to keep all my gear inside by using my backpack as a pillow, can't beat it for the price."

Quartz 1
Reviewed by Zvezda, Feb 26, 2006

"This is a very good tent for solo camping in windy and cold environments. With some MSR Groundhog stakes, this tent easily withstood 40 mph winds. The Quartz 1 is designed primarily for light-snow conditions, and as such, is not as durable as many other expedition-grade 4-season tents."
