Designed for 3-season use, the Salida is a great all-around lightweight backpacking tent. With over 10ft2 of vestibule space and a spacious interior this tent is guaranteed to offer a comfortable backcountry escape.
Winner of the 2011 Backpacker Magazine Editor's Choice Award, the Kelty Salida 2 offers great value in a basic ultralight backpacking tent. This two-person, three-season tent's weatherproof protection was tested by Backpacker gear testers in the soggy and windy conditions of the Pacific Northwest, where it provided a comfortable and dry backcountry escape. The Salida 2 features a minimalist design with one side door, a 30.5 square foot interior, and a ten square foot vestibule--its lack of frills keeps the weight, and the price, down.
The Salida 2 is well-ventilated and sturdy, thanks to mesh wall panels and a solid two-pole support system. The 68 denier ripstop nylon floor is durable, tough, and resists rips and abrasion, while the double-wall dome fly keeps campers dry no matter how wet the weather.
