The Teton 4 is a three-season tent made by Kelty. It has an average rating of 3.5 stars (out of 5), based on 3 user reviews.

Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Kelty Teton 4-person 3-season tent is a classic 2-pole dome tent perfect for weekend camping and warm climate backpacking. Whether you're traveling with a party of four, or prefer extra space to store your gear, the Teton 4 provides plenty of room. The Teton saves weight by providing tons of mesh ceiling ventilation. While riding out storms won't be this tent's forte, muggy nights can be spent peacefully thanks to generous airflow. Side wall vents also promote air movement. The Teton has one D-shaped door and taped floor seams. The rainfly has taped seams and side-release tent/fly connection buckles. This is an awesome lightweight tent for an incredible price!"

From Campmor:
"The Kelty Teton 4 is a light weight ( under 8 lbs.) 3 season 4 person tent. The polyester non stretch, UV resistant fly provides excellent coverage as well as a 12.3 sq. ft. vestibule outside the large side entry door. Waterproof sidewalls extend midway up the sides of the tent thereby eliminating the need for fly coverage on the ends and thus saving weight. Easy to set up due to its color coded clip system, the Teton 4 also has superb ventilation because all 4 sides have mesh at the top that also allows for stargazing. Sleeps 4 Main fly and floor seams are factory taped for extreme weather protection. Arc Edge floor seams - perimeter floor seams are off the ground and inverted for superior water protection. DAC PressFit aluminum poles for good strength to weight ratio. Freestanding. One 12.3 sq. ft. vestibule. Non stretch, UV resistant polyester fly. All clip assembly for fast set-up and maximizes air flow. No-see-um mesh on all 4 sides of the tent for venting and stargazing. 2 mesh interior pockets for organization and gear storage. 1 large side entry doors for easy access. Post and grommet assembly with locking pole tips for convenience. Side release buckles attach fly to body for fast easy set up. Color coded clips aid in set-up. Flashlight loop. Full coverage fly for total weather protection. Gear loft included. Tent, pole and stake bags included. Fire retardant. Import."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Affordably designed to fit four adults (or two guys who just need more personal space) Kelty's three-season Teton 4 Tent offers exceptional value without selling you short on practical features. The key factors in Kelty's cost-effective design are the single door entrance and two 7001 aluminum DAC Pressfit poles. The dual-pole design is structurally rugged and has been around for years, but it's slightly heavier than the ultra-refined tent poles that you usually find on higher priced tents. Everything else about the Teton 4 Tent is on par with the best in the outdoor industry, including taped floor seams and Kelty's Water TightWall enhancements for optimal weather protection. Because the ceiling has large mesh area along the crest, the Teton 4 offers exceptional venting between the walls and waterproof tent fly, although this extra airflow can be uncomfortable on frosty mornings (that's why it's a three-season tent). Kelty added a color-coded clip construction that's easy to figure out, even if you don't have time to look at pitching instructions."

From REI:
"Lighten your load, not your wallet, with the super-value Teton—this simple, easy-to-pitch design offers superb ventilation. Freestanding design has one door and one vestibule. Waterproof polyester taffeta rainfly pitches tautly and remains so even when wet; side-release buckles make it easy to attach it to the tent. ArcEdge™ floor remains taut with specially constructed waterproof seams that are up off the ground. All seams are factory-taped to ensure excellent weather protection. Color-coded pole clip/sleeve construction keeps setup simple and obvious. Generous mesh side vents and mesh ceiling offer great ventilation and views outside. Includes guyout points, noiseless zipper pulls, internal storage pockets and gear loft loops. Includes stuff sacks, stakes and guyline. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."

"I bought this tent for work. I travel five states and will not sleep in a hotel again. I camp at state parks two to four times week every other week. This tent will hold up in really bad rainstorms. If you put the seam seal in all four corners it will be leak free."

"The only reason I'm rating this tent four stars instead of five is because there are better tents out there, but you'd have to spend a LOT more money to buy one. It sets up very easily, is indeed waterproof, and is very well made. The person who gave this tent a two star rating does not understand tents intended for backpacking."

"Poor quality for the price! We set it up in our living room for a test drive before the big trip. The bottom material was very thin. It ripped within minutes! I believe that a stick or stone would have had the same effect."
