Kelty Gunnison Pro Tent
October 8, 2009, 11:45 am / Categories: Camping
An affordable four-season shelter, the two-person Gunnison Pro was built to withstand winter conditions. It has a stitch-free fly and floor to increase durability and water resistance.
Multiple guyout points let you tie down the tent to keep it solid in a storm. The tent has two doors and two vestibules, and it weighs a lean 4 pounds, 4 ounces when packed away. $249, www.kelty.com

Hey Guy,
Scott here with Kelty.
Good observations… the Gunnison Pro is intended more for recreational campers looking for a beefier tent to help extend the camping season beyond summer, especially at lower elevations and in warmer parts of the country. The fused fly and floor add durability and waterproofing to withstand stronger winds and light snow while remaining light enough to use in warmer weather. I would not recommend this tent for overnights in extreme winter conditions or above treeline due to the mesh windows, small vestibule, and lightweight design. I hope that helps to clarify.

4-seasons – really?
Hi – just checking out this tent – doesn’t look like a 4-season tent – too much mesh on the inner, and the fly doesn’t come down low enough outside. Personal preference, but the vestibule appears kind of tiny as a “portal” for true winter use.
