Kelty Vortex 2 person 3-season backpacking tent review - still strong after 10 years
Well, just seeing how the tent is… this is a small (backpacking) tent that weights about 2.5 lbs, and sets up easily in about 3 minutes by one person, thanks to the shock-corded aluminum poles and sleeved pole guides… I can’t remember the name of this model just remembered the name: Kelty Vortex 2, but I got it in the late 90s I think from La Cordée in Montreal, IIRC .. or perhaps Mountain Equipment Coop in Ottawa, hmmm…
It’s gotten good reviews by Backpacker readers.
This is for a maximum of 2 adults, and probably 2 adults who are used to sleeping together 
Here I have it set up without the (blue) fly, and all works well so far. Of course, the real test is in the rain , but one thing at a time

Oma - I’m pretty sure you’d me quite comfortable in it, it is about 54″ wide by 78″ long… the only downside is that it is not very high, about 3.5 feet inside the tent so just enough to sit…
