I was poking fun at their colors, but they do have something cool coming out.
It's called the Early Start Tent.
It comes in a two-person and a three-person.
I think for backpacking, more people are using the two-person, in my opinion.
So the two-person weighs in at 2 pounds 10 ounces.
Is it the lightest tent in the market?
It is not, but it is lightweight for a Kelty tent.
and for just tents in general.
But tent prices have skyrocketed over the years.
So what's cool about this one is this is actually at a reasonable tent cost price at $280.
Wow.
I think you can find cheaper, I should have done a comparison here, like Teton has cheaper tents, I think.
They're not a ton cheaper, but I want to say you're looking at at least five pounds for like a two-person tent, which is still doable for backpacking, but if you're talking about, you know, you don't want to kill yourself,
I think, and then in addition to that, so we haven't tried this out, of course, but I've used Kelty gear a lot.
I've actually never had Kelty gear break on me.
Like, it's quality stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
So this could last you.
This could be an entry-level tent, but it could last you a long time, especially if you only go, you know, backpacking, camping once or twice a year.
And speaking of that, that's another trend that I forgot to mention is a lot of tent brands are making their tent pole lengths shorter specifically for bike packing.
