Kelty Sequoia 4 Person Cabin Tent Review

The Sequoia 4 has one door and a peak center height of 6' 6, which is 15 inches bigger than the average height of the 134 different 4 person tents we have examined With 60 square feet of room inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, up to three other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one often can make a superb choice for campers that like spending loads of time outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

One of the main advantages of cabin tents is, that the sides are basically vertical creating a spacious interior, this allows for a lot more headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much bigger than a dome tent, in general the floor areas are quite large compared to other tents. Normally cabin tents are used by families going on a camping trip in a car or a truck as they are quite heavy when compared to dome tents. That dose though make them well suited to colder nights.

Down below, you can see a list of the tent's strongest and weakest points.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Sequoia can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Tons of Headroom. With 15% more headroom than similar-sized tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
3. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Offers you somewhere to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
4. Internal storage. It is good to see Kelty has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
5. Breathable. The Sequoia's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the summer.
6. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the whole body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1800mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy rain.
7. Other sizes are available. Kelty has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
8. Low price. It is a great purchase for a 4 person cabin tent that provides this much space. Not many tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $249.95

CONS

1. Vulnerable to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Sequoia may not do well in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would want to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not spacious. With a floor area of 60 square feet, the Sequoia 4 is smaller than quite a lot of the 134 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
3. No windows. With no windows it is not easy to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.
4. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately specifically for the Sequoia 4 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 68D Polyester, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
5. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Sequoia 4, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 20 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
