Kelty Wireless 2 Person Dome Tent Review

The Wireless 2 has two doors and a peak center height of 3' 7, which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 211 various 2 person tents we have studied. With 29 square feet of room inside, it is significantly smaller than some other 2-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you and, another camper all through the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents like this one often can make an awesome choice for campers that like spending loads of time outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

Many of the great things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances lightweight, making them simple to carry. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In good weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are easily the most common of all the various types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing rain to roll off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the water pooling on the roof. The most straightforward dome tent should have a rectangular footprint, slanted walls a couple of poles which converge in the center of the roof. Due to their construction, it is usually considered that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately designed for the Wireless 2 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.
