Sports reviews of Kelty Gunnison 3.1 Three Person Tent

Customer Review: I like it
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I got my gunnison a few weeks ago and have mixed emotions. I ended up getting the 3.1 for a little extra room and paid $199 on amazon with free shipping. As always with kelty, quality materials. However, the fastening mechanisms are all plastic and are specialty parts. I don't know how a plastic bottle can survive 1000 years in a landfill but a plastic clip cannot survive more then a few years on a compression sac. New out of the box all the fasteners are great, the ends of the all aluminum poles have a ball that locks into the clip on the tent making set up much easier. But some day those things will break, and I won't be able to stop at the local store and buy a new one (I have built/repaired LOTS of equipment from Jo Ann Fabrics). My other problem is the floor seems very thin and my other kelty footprints are the same material. I always worry about a puncture, so with this tent I use a $4.99 blue tarp (almost big enough) for a little bit of meat underneath. Hopefully my conserns are all for not and my tent will give me many years of pleasure. Thats really my only negative, the positives are many. Our first night it poured for about four hours and not a drop of water in our tent. The double door/vestibules are great, one side to enter and the other just big enough for two packs. The tent is relatively light, comes with aluminum poles, easy set up, plenty of room, looks good, everything I need at a reasonable price. I'm sure there are better tents, but this one is a great value.

Description of Kelty Gunnison 3.1 Three Person Tent

The redesigned Gunnison with its improved features is a freestanding, color-coded clip construction shelter that offers quick, two-pole setup and spacious quarters for a couple or a crowd. It includes internal storage pockets for organization and a combination of hubbed, high-quality DAC Feather lite pockets.
Redesigned with improved features, the Kelty Gunnison 3.1 freestanding tent offers quick, two-pole setup and spacious quarters for two. Weighing just under 6 pounds, the three-season Gunnison 3.1 provides 48 square feet of floor area as well as over 20 square feet from the dual vestibule areas (9.9 + 9.9)--great for storing gear and wet, muddy boots and clothing. The tent features extensive mesh at the top as well as two doors and a lower mesh vent for an aerodynamic venting system to regulate temperature and reduce condensation. Other features include internal storage pockets, side-release buckle tent-fly connection, noiseless zipper pulls that resist jingling when it's windy, and color-coded clip construction with DAC Featherlite NSL poles.

Computer designed and tested, Featherlite NSL poles are specifically engineered for use in lightweight tents where strength is critical. A "tapered" end of the pole has a smaller diameter that allows it to slide into the larger pole end. This system reduces the overall weight of a pole 12-18 percent, depending on pole and section size. The clip construction provides great fly separation and increased air movement, and it makes it easier to set-up your tent but offers less strength than full-length sleeves. The clips connecting the poles to the tent are color-coded so set-up is easy and quick in low light conditions.

Kelty's ArcEdge construction lifts floor seams up off the ground, preventing water seepage around the floor and wall seams. Taped seams on the floor and the rainfly ensure that the tent is protected from moisture and wet weather. The ITW LineLoc guyline adjuster, a Ladderloc for cord, creates an easy way to adjust and keep cord taut. It functions just like a standard Ladderloc would on webbing--pull the cord to tighten, lift the ergonomically designed thumb tab to release. The newly designed DAC Jake's Foot stakeouts make tent set-up quicker and puts less stress on your tent poles.
