User questions & answers

Question:	Where are the Tallboys made
Answer:	These tents are made in Vietnam. Thanks!
Question:	Is this a 4 season tent if not is does this brand carry and 2-3 person 4s tent
Answer:	The Tallboy is not a 4 season tent. In order for a tent to be considered a 4 season tent it mush have an aluminum frame. The Tallboy is a fiberglass frame so it is a 3 season tent. A 4 season version of a 6 person tent that Kelty does not offer an aluminum pole 6 person tent. Better to look at a Eureka Space Camp 6 or a Big Agnes Bighouse 6

Question:	How tall is this tent
Answer:	Hi, this product is manufactured in China.
Question:	Does this tent come with the rainfly
Answer:	Couldn't tell ya. The ONLY prob with this pot is it DOES NOT come with the "percolator" stem and basket to make coffee!

Answer:	This page is used by different merchants to sell their products. When you place your order, make sure you are ordering from the individual who is selling the tent you want.

Answer:	Yea it's removable and you can see out of the windows slightly with rain cap on.

User questions & answers

Question:	How well does it stand up in windy conditions
Answer:	It has a taper. The 2 person is 4' 2" at one end and 3' 10" at the other end. The 3 person is 5' 10" at one end and 5' 3" at the other
Question:	I want to but the foot print also and it says in the details it must be purchased separately or is it included
Answer:	This tent includes 10 high strength 7001 aluminum "J" stakes.
Question:	Does the night owl 2 person come with a rain tarp
Answer:	I have the two person and its just me. Plenty of room for me and all my gear. If I added another person, they would be no gear room. It does have a flap on the outside, but it wouldn't stay dry if you had much. Amazing tent though. Love it. I have used it in all seasons and many miles.
Question:	Why does the 3 person tent weigh around 6lbs, while the 4 person tent jumps to 10lbs even though it's only slightly bigger
Answer:	It does not have the "Stargazing Fly" like the Night Owl or the Dirt Motel, but it has a traditional fly attachment so you can always secure the fly to one end and roll the fly back so you can see through the mesh on the top. That way it will be easy to secure if it does begin to rain.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you stargaze with this tent
Answer:	That must be a misprint, because the pack weight of the tent (taking it in the field) is about 7lbs 8ounces I believe. So the ship weight can't be 3lbs!
Question:	Can this tent fit in a backpack? Can you recommend a backpack for this tent
Answer:	The bottom is waterproofed so for sure you can use it all 4 seasons. BTW ..one night it rained so bad that I felt like I was sleeping on a waterbed - but nothing got inside. Just do your best to protect the bottom from cuts or even small punctures and you'll be fine.
Question:	Can someone post actual weight of tent , rain fly
Answer:	Holds up well. I camped overnight on the a North Rim of the Grand Canyon and a front moved in with sustained 30 MPH winds. Tent handled it well. NOTE: it is a 3-season tent with the tent itself being mostly netting, so if it is a cold wind, it will get under the fly and into the tent a bit. My only dislike so far is the zipper. It runs in an “L” shape and no matter what you do it gets hung up and you have to use both hands to clear where it makes the turn.
Question:	How small can it pack down? Without stuff sack and poles? Just the max packed size. Thanks
Answer:	Footprint is not included and must be purchased separately. A quick google search will provide some sources (Kelty was sold out when I looked).

Question:	Is there a recommended footprint for this tent
Answer:	We are out of state now, so can't measure. We are 63 & 68 so wanted a tent that was easier to get in and out of. This tent definitely meets that goal.

Product description

Built for the family this free-standing ‘mansion-style’ tent is unbelievably quick and easy to set up and take down. An interior divider provides privacy, and the large mesh side panels ensure that the tent remains ventilated on hot summer days. This sturdy tent also has an organizer wall to keep you organized.

With 143 square feet of sleeping space, the Kelty Parthenon eight-person mansion-style tent is roomy enough for the whole family. The Parthenon is spacious from head to toe, measuring 11 by 13 feet across the floor and standing 6 feet 4 inches in the center. As a result, your wife, kids, and dog have plenty of room to stretch out, or you can turn your camping trip into a party by bringing a few friends along. The Parthenon is also fully weatherproof, with a polyester taffeta rainfly that pulls taut, along with an ArcEdge polyurethane-coated floor with specially constructed waterproof seams located above ground level. And to prevent condensation, the tent includes mesh wall panels and fly vents to keep the air flowing.

The Parthenon is easy to set up and take down thanks to the easy-fit DAC hybrid poles and color-coded clip sleeves. To encourage privacy within the tent, Kelty added an interior divider, in effect creating two separate rooms. Other details include an organizer wall, gear loft loops, adjustable stakeouts, a dual-entry vestibule, a side-release buckle tent-fly connection, noiseless zipper pulls, and guyout points.

The Parthenon sleeps up to 8 people in its 143-square-foot main room.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the Kelty Frontier 4 hold up well during rainy or windy conditions
Answer:	I have searched all over it and cannot find any washing instructions. The description says it is 50% polyester & 50% acrylic, so it shouldn't shrink, but the loose weave and fringe will require gentle care. Based on the comments in the reviews, I plan to wash it in a sweater bag on the delicate cycle of my washing machine and hang it to dry.
Question:	Can I get replacement poles for my Kelly frontier tent
Answer:	it depends on how you want it to fit. I'm a 5'2 female and the back come right under my butt and the "arm" just barely reaches my wrist. the front flaps can wrap all the way around to my back. hope this helps.
Question:	Does the Kelty Frontier 4 need a footprint
Answer:	It is made to drape over your arms, but it does not have defined sleeves.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this tent made in the United States
Answer:	11/4inch
Question:	Can the 4-person be set up by one person
Answer:	Most of the time tarp comes with tie downs. Just tie off at eye loop at top of pole and down to a stake in two different directions (45’) standard tie down method.
Question:	can a cot be set up in a 4 person wireless kelty tent
Answer:	I used the rain fly in clear but humid weather and woke up with a little condensation on the walls. I noticed afterward there are extea spots on sides and back of the fly that could be used to guy out the fly at the base and seperate it from the tent. This would create more airflow and allow it to breathe more.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with taped seems
Answer:	With the proper bit you can drill into anything. Getting it on the table and under the head is the trick.
Question:	are the zippers two-way
Answer:	I would recommend that you go to the WEN website and download the manual. Look on page 9 as it shows how to assemble the part you're talking about. Can't really recommend you do what you're talking about as any time you use a piece of equipment for a purpose other than intended you're doing so at your own risk and you can forget about any warranties for the product. But, if you want to proceed anyway check the manual and press on if you think it will work.
Question:	Does this tent have a gear loft and/or pockets
Answer:	No, it does not come with any drill bits. However, it is a quality drill press and I have been very satisfied with it.
Question:	I live in Florida where it rains a lot. How waterproof is this? Also condensation issues
Answer:	do not know. I keep getting the 2014 version. After spending hours on end with customer service. No "T" anywhere. Only in header does it mention 2019 model. Manual reads "2015 Model 4210". Sticker on machine reads "Model 4210". I keep looking for the elusive "T". Beginning to think I need eyeglasses or that everyone is right and I am wrong.

After an epic day of backcountry shenanigans, you deserve a relaxing spread without the seedy feeling of low ceilings and tight space. That’s why our new, ultra-roomy Dirt Motel basically gives you everything but the neon sign. Compact and lightweight, the Dirt Motel features an ultra-spacious interior, plus a compact hubbed aluminum pole set for easy packing and lightning-fast setup. And the Kelty Stargazing Fly provides 100 billion reasons to stay up just a bit longer.

Exceptional head and shoulder room

Offering exceptional room for your head and shoulders, the 3-season Kelty Dirt Motel tent offers you an unobstructed view of the backcountry if you peel back the protective rainfly.

Freestanding tent design

The freestanding design means you can pitch the tent and then move it around to find the best site.

No-see-um mesh walls

The floor of the tent is polyurethane coated 70 denier nylon with a 3000 mm water resistant rating. No-see-um mesh walls provide ventilation and keep out unwelcome guests. Two doors provide easy access for 3 campers.

Stargazing fly

The standout feature of this tent is Kelty’s popular Stargazing Fly system. This arrangement lets you quickly and easily roll up a portion of the rainfly. Secure the rolled fly with simple clips and you’re free to enjoy a view of the stars and reap the benefits of increased ventilation. If the weather changes or you want more privacy, simply unclip the fly, roll it down and secure it to the tent corners.

Compact folding pole set

The tent is supported by compact DAC PressFit poles. The setup for this tent includes two hubbed poles and one ridge pole. This assembly creates vertical walls, which provide more overall living space inside the tent, instead of just a peak in the center. There are internal storage pockets including a ceiling pocket.

Shark Mouth stuff sack

This tent includes Kelty’s Shark Mouth stuff sack, designed to make stuffing easier, and reflective guy lines. The custom-fit Kelty Dirt Motel 3P Footprint (sold separately) can further protect your tent from wet ground, roots and rocks.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the packed size of the tent? ( in the stuff sack
Answer:	We don't use it without the AC on. It's hot for summer without the AC. We use the Halo Sleep sack (Cotton) if the room is warm and this if it's cold. I love both.
Question:	Can this be pitched with only the foot-print, poles and rain fly
Answer:	I used this to transition from Merlin’s magic sleep suit and I find it thick enough that it eases the transition from our arms to the crib when we rock him to sleep. Merlin helped a lot with that given the padding, and although their arms are free in this, it still helps with the legs. For us it was a good transition to get him used to sleep sacks and get away from the Merlin suit.
Question:	It comes with a green aluminum rod, about 6 inches long. What does this thing do
Answer:	Children's sleepwear is required by law to be flame resistant in the U.S. "To protect children from burns, these rules require that children’s sleepwear must be flame resistant and self-extinguish if a flame from a candle, match, lighter or a similar item causes it to catch fire. The rules cover all children’s sleepwear above size 9 months and up to size 14." Polyester is naturally flame resistant because of the nature of the material.
Question:	What is the function of the footprint? When is it needed? Do I need one
Answer:	I bought the large first and ended up exchanging it for the medium. That was a few months ago. My baby is now 11 months and the medium fits her perfectly. She is in the 90th percentile for height (27 or 28 inches?) and about 19 pounds. The large looks GIGANTIC, but it will last you a long time. It will probably last you as long as you keep your son in a crib. My husband joked that it would fit me. I think that the medium won't last you long enough to be worth it. By the way, we love this sleep sack. The dependable zipper alone makes it worth the money.
