Title: Kelty Salida 4 Post by Nandagikendan on Sep 10th, 2013 at 1:52am
I only wanted to post this because I owe this tent a huge high-five for getting my family through a nasty thunderstorm on Agnes....and not blowing away or swamping during the deluge! To be fair, there are far better 4-person tents out there and I'd be the first to say so.
However, we staked this tent out in the usual way with its 4 corner guy wires and 3 mid-fly guy wires and seamed-sealed all fabric seams well before taking it into the backcountry....and it held up! With a good (cheap too!) heavy duty space blanket as a groundcloth, we had minimal moisture inside -- maybe a small puddle in one corner about 1-2 in diam....and nothing else! Also held it's ground in some very strong gusts that tossed our 45lb canoe into the water... Also, we found this at a discounted price (under 200 US) so for a roomy family tent that only weighs barely 7 lbs. we think this is a keeper and would recommend to other families!
