- Is the Kelty Late Start 1P good for backpacking?
- It can be carried short distances, but its weight and packed size suit car camping and festivals better. Backpackers usually pick a lighter aluminum-pole tent.
- How does it handle rain?
- The double-wall design with a polyester fly sheds steady rain well. Pitch it taut and keep the fly off the inner body to limit condensation.
- Does it fit a tall person?
- Most average-height campers can sit up at the head end, but very tall sleepers will feel the taper at the foot. Check the floor length against your height before buying.
- What comes in the box?
- The tent includes the inner body, fly, fiberglass poles, stakes and guylines. A footprint is sold separately.
- How does it compare with the REI Passage 1?
- Both are simple solo domes. The Kelty has more mesh for ventilation; the Passage 1 uses aluminum poles and packs smaller.
- Is one door enough?
- For one person, yes. The single door and small vestibule hold boots and a pack, but there is no second exit.
