Description

The Radiant 2 is a four-season tent made by Kelty. It has an average rating of 4.5 stars (out of 5), based on 3 user reviews.

Here's what other sites are saying:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Radiant 2 is a well-ventilated, freestanding, three-pole mountaineering tent that is designed to open up internal space for comfort, a welcome feature when waiting out the elements."

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 window 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. Internal pockets and gear loft loops keep stuff organized inside. This four-season tent is strong, versatile and works well for all weather conditions. Two doors and two vestibules provide easy entry and exit with ample storage for your gear. 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."

"This is a good tent. I have used it on a couple of long (2-4 week) paddling trips on northern rivers in the arctic and sub arctic. It performs as required.

There are a couple of issue I have had with it, mostly minor:

The zips are prone to become sticky if you camp in dry silty areas (like the banks of the Yukon River)."

"I needed a roomy 4-season tent at a reasonable price for a weekend snow-camping trip and after a lengthy search bought this one. I found the tent easy to set up with just one person, however the shorter middle pole was too long for inserting into the designated grommet hole, so I had to use the loop strap to hold it in place."

"Bought this tent for my boys to use on trips. Great year round tent with very good excellent ventilation. If it's raining and the temp is dropping, open the top vents as soon as you get it up or it will start to condensate. This tent is easy to pitch with two people but sliding the poles through by yourself is a handfull."
