 "Best beach sun-tent" 2010-02-26
By KP (Saratoga, CA)
Very nice quality, shipped on time.

Used during vacation in Hawaii, all children on a beach wanted to play in it! Adults asked where they could get one. Very sturdy, Waikiki in January can be windy - not a problem for this tent - light - easy to carry, assembly/ disassembly time 5-10 min - children love to help filling the sand bags to anchor it. Would highly recommend!

 "Simple and cool" 2009-05-23
By Corrie C. Rosetti (Clarkston, WA United States)
This tent saw me through four nights in Idaho's Owyhee in the middle of May. It endured rain, frost, and sun. Though it is listed as a three season tent, it is best for those hot summer days when most tents are stifling. Not so great for frosty mornings and chilly nights unless you have a warm sleeping bag.



Lots of ties and two pouches inside to preventing losing wallets, keys and so on.

Strategic placement of vents, both high and low, draw cool dry air in at the bottom and push warm moist air out at the peak for maximum comfort Gated carabiners and locking end tips on the poles, work like shock absorbers in wind - allowing room for the tent body and frame to flex independently, while preventing the tips from popping out.

 "Lightweight, REALLY EASY to setup, a bit stuff in hot weather" 2010-03-04
By N. P. Ladieu (Pittsburgh, PA United States)
Great solo tent for someone who likes a bit more room.



This tent is so ridiculously easy to setup. You can have it up in less than 2 minutes.



I like the area outside the tent to put your gear and keep it dry. Nice place to keep your boots and what not outside the tent but under shelter.





Only pro is my old tent I could remove the fly on summer nights and it made for a much cooler sleeping, it can be a bit stuffy in this tent in the summer even with all the vents open.



Overall it is a good buy and it is very light and compact. I sleep in here with my 2 dogs. One 95 pound malamute and 1 50 pound husky.



It is a bit short for me at 6'4" so I have to sleep at a bit of an angle.



I have used this tent with my wife on a few tents, it is workable, but not optimal for 2 people.

 "Great Tent, with a word of advise." 2009-12-21
By M. Claude (Knoxville, TN, USA)
I have been backpacking the Great Smoky Mountains for 9 years now and have been through every imaginable hiking condition. You never know what you will run into while hiking anywhere for that matter. I have had several small 2 men backpacking tents from several brands and wanted to find a light weight, strong tent big enough for 2 and some gear.



I found it in the Zeus 2 Classic. We hiked up in the rain last weekend and had to pitch this tent for the first time in a downpour. I was worried that it would let the water through as we set it up. Well there was no time for that since me and my wife Brooke set the tent up in under 2 minutes, vestibule, stakes and all. It rained all day and all night and turned into a very heavy wet snow, ending in about an inch or so. Not once did it leak during the whole time, and it held the extra weight of the snow well. Back in the day they used to say "never touch the side of your tent while raining; it will let the rain in because you will disturb the seal." Not true with this tent. My sleeping bag touched the side of the tent all night and not a drop of rain came in. We also had plenty of room for our extra clothes in the tent and other items. The vestibule is not massive, but it held two pairs of boots, our wet rain gear and still had room for a backpack if needed.



I cut out a footprint for this tent out of 4 mil plastic, just to be safe in case of sticks and rocks. I am fanatic about that kind of thing and did not want to damage the floor. The floor material is just a little bit thicker then the wall fabric, so a footprint or "ground tarp" may be a good idea, although my friends tents have the same material for their floor and never used a foot print...ever, without incident.



The tent has 6 vents. A small one in the front of the vestibule, one on each of the sides of the tent that run the length and are covered by a small rain fly that can be staked. There is an additional vent in the roof on the back side to allow airflow through the high low airflow system. A small vent that can be closed in the bottom of the main door inside the vestibule and a large mesh area in the door that cannot be closed to allow air from the front vestibule vent to circulate. They say that an adult will breathe out about a pint of water in a night, so with two adults you have about a quart of water to get rid of. It was damp, cold and raining/snowing on our first night with this tent, and when we woke in the morning there was a decent amount of water on the inside walls of the tent. It was a manageable amount of water with a few drips coming of the roof area onto the sleeping bags. But I would not hold this against the tent because everyone's tents, some very expensive $400-500 tents with a true double wall rain fly had large amounts of condensation inside their tents as well. It was no more or no less than everyone else, so I would have to say it was one of the worse conditions we could have put this tent in and it held up very well under these conditions without excessive water build up.



The vestibule zipper does get caught occasionally when you open or close the flap, but after using it for a while, I found it is not a design flaw, but human error in learning how to open the fly.



The poles are light and strong, the clip construction is so simple to use as you set up the tent and the weight is minimal.



Packable weight: 4lbs 3 oz (including everything in the package: all stakes tent and poles. The minimum weight stated can only be achieved leaving the stakes home, which would not allow you to stake out the vestibule.

So in conclusion, an excellent buy, whether you are a minimalist looking for room for two or even soloist who wants a little more room, without the extra weight, this tent is a steal.

 "Apollo 2" 2009-12-09
By Lorne W. Fisher (Upstate NY)
I actually do not have the zeus2, the difference between the zeus and apollo is the apollo uses those little plastic clips on the poles but the zeus uses large carabiners, otherwise the two are the same. I bought this tent specifically for backpacking and zero/ subzero camping. I have not yet used this tent in other than very cold conditions thus far. I did notice some condensation on the inside of the tent in the morning so my guess is that it is impossible to fix this completely. That said, what I found was not much and it was actually in the form of frost - so I wasn't worried about any drips or leaks - I was able to wipe it all off with a sock and forget about it so, no biggie. I would definitely recommend this tent or the zeus for extremely cold weather as setup is easy even with frozen-solid fingers and it is free standing and holds up well in wind. I also had no problems with leaks which can sometimes be a concern in several feet of snow. I had a slight issue with length as I am 6'2" but I expected this with any solo tent ( I know this is technically a two person tent but in the real world, it's a roomy solo). Another plus is that it has enough room to cook inside if the wind is just way too fierce. Honestly, you gotta research and make your own choice though...

 "Lightweight 1 1/2 man tent" 2009-12-09
By E. L. Green (San Jose, CA, United States)
Pros:

1. Easy to set up -- lay out tent, peg out corners, slip poles into corners and clip the tent to them, peg out vestibule, peg out side flies, you're done.

2. Very roomy for a single person, can sit up, change clothes, etc. with no problem

3. Weighs only 4 pounds, much lighter than typical for a 2-man tent.

4. Weather-tight. As long as you've seam-sealed it properly, you won't get wet from water seeping through the tent. (Condensation is a different story but see below).

5. Handles wind well for a fairly tall tent, thanks to the extra side reinforcement from the side fly guyouts. It'll shake rattle and roll a bit in really strong gusts but won't collapse.



Cons:

1. It's a single-wall tent. As with all single-wall tents, it condenses. Condensation can be reduced by a) sleeping with your face (where most moisture comes out) near the mesh door, b) keeping the front rain fly open unless it's actually raining, c) keeping all vents open and the side flies as high as you can (I extended the lines to them so that they were always well above ground). Even then you'll still have condensation, it's the nature of a single-wall tent. Just don't brush against the walls (it's a huge tent so that's easy) and you're fine.

2. It's not really a 2-man tent unless the two people are *very* intimate (as in, boyfriend/girlfriend sleeping with interzipped sleeping bags!).

3. It's sort of short. I'm 5'11" and it's only barely long enough for me. If you're longer, your feet will be poking out the front door!



I've moved on to lighter single-wall tarp-tents from cottage vendors such as Tarptent or Six Moon Designs for backpacking, but this is still a favorite car-camping tent for dry areas (deserts) where condensation is not a problem and ease of setup and wind resistance is of concern. Tarps are pretty darn breezy when that wind starts howling!

I set this tent up in 90 seconds the first time. All the seams are factory sealed and taped. Plenty of room inside and quite comfortable. Found a cloth/aluminum tarp for a ground cloth online. The silver side up reflects your body heat back into the tent. Got this tent for my Bug-Out backpack. It is so light you cant feel it in your pack.(Large military alice-pack)The vents are huge and the roof vent is large with a nice rain cover on it. Guyed out the side vents and there is plenty of ventilation, Condensation was not a problem. Buy this Tent!

 "Very Nice Lightweight Tent" 2009-09-05
By DocOne (Albuquerque, NM)
I selected this tent for the size and reasonably light weight. For two people, the backpacking weight is just a bit over 2-1/2 pounds per person which is not bad considering the size and large dual vestibules. It is a bit larger than most comparably dome tents inside which is a plus if you are tall or wish to stow some gear inside the tent. The gear vestibules on both sides are also larger than most, and being able to enter and stow gear on both sides is a plus as you don't have to step over someone else to get in or out. The tent is well constructed and goes up quickly. With the dual vents on top and generous screening I have not had any significant problems with condensation, and the full fly ensures you will remain dry even in severe weather. The only negative I've noticed is the snap at the bottom of the fly zipper, which can be a pain to close from the inside of the tent, but this is a relatively minor issue. Overall a great buy!

The main issue with this tent is the poor quality of the mosquito netting which comprises a good deal of the tent. This is the first tent that I have owned where the netting getting pulls in it. I am quite careful with my gear and was surprised after a few uses to have pulls. The design is good and set up is easy.

 "Kelty Gunnison 2.1 (vs the REI Half Dome)" 2009-06-30
By Eric Varboncouer (Illinois)
I bought this for use as a two person backpacking and car camping tent. I also bought a REI half dome two person tent to which I compared it. These are very similarly designed tents. I set up both tents (in my living room) and did a side-by-side comparison. I never actually used the tent and so can only speak to its design and not its actual performance. I ultimately returned the Kelty Gunnison 2.1 tent but it was a close call and I will explain the good & the not so bad below.



First, I feel that for the weight & price, it would be hard to find a more spacious tent. The Kelty Gunnison felt a little more spacious than the REI half dome which was no slouch in this category as well. This is consistent with the Kelty's reported 3 more square feet (37 sq ft total) than the REI half dome. For people who are tall (over 6'--I am 6'2") this is a very long tent at 92". This is 2 inches longer than the rei half dome. Both tents are longer than many ultralight tents that I have sadly found to typically not be be designed with people over 6' in mind. For instance, the REI QUARTER dome is a tight fit for any one over 6'. The Gunnison is also listed at a 40" peak height which is fairly decent and I was able to sit upright in the tent comfortably. However, if you are 6'2" or above, the extra inch of height in the REI half dome is just enough that you can get a little farther from the center of the tent & still be upright. This would be handy if you were sitting in the tent with someone at night or riding out a storm. Weight wise the Kelty gunnsion is listed as a few ounces less in weight than the REI half dome. The kelty is reported to have a package weight of 5 lbs 9 oz. I considered the weight difference to be insignificant. There are lighter weight options for two person tents, but they will not have as much space and will be more costly.



The vestibules for the Kelty are massive with each vestibule being listed at 12 sq ft for the kelty and 9 sq ft each for the REI half dome. I obviously did not stake out either tent in my house, but the kelty vestibules definitely seemed larger. These vestibules would leave plenty of room for backpacks and probably the proverbial kitchen sink as well.



Next I will address the design of the tent. The kelty uses a plastic, but reasonably sturdy appearing hub for the tent poles whereas the half dome uses a metal one. On the Kelty tent, the rainfly and tent body are connected to the tent poles using plastic Jake's Foot connectors. On the half dome they are connected through the more traditional metal grommets. The entrance doors on both sides of the Kelty are smaller and more in the center of the tent than for the REI half dome. With the rainfly on, this made it slightly more difficult for easy entrance & exit with the Gunnison. This may theoretically also mean the Gunnsion would offer more protection from the rain getting in and out of the tent, but I obviously did not get to test this theory. I also am not aware of problems with the half dome in this regard. The overall tent body and rainfly of both tents seemed very similar in regards to material. The vents and netting also seemed reasonably comparable and I can only guess that ventilation in both tents would be reasonably similar.



For me, I ultimately chose the half dome over the gunnison but it was a tough call and I liked the gunnison's design as well. My biggest issue with the tent was the plastic hub and the plastic Jake's foot connectors. These are used in other tents as well. They may work great, but I personally prefer the metal hub and grommets of the half dome. I also liked the size and position of the doors much more in the half dome. The gunnsion was a little more spacious and had larger vestibules, but I felt this difference was not too dramatic.



In summary, I felt the Kelty Gunnsion 2.1 is a spacious tent with large vestibules at a decent price. It is a great option for tall individuals. I personally do not like the Jake's foot connectors or the plastic hub as they do not appear very rugged. However, I do not have any evidence that this would ever be a problem in the field longterm. I would have preferred doors that were a little larger and less centered. However, this may not be as much of an issue for smaller individuals and may be advantageous in rain. My preference would also be for a lighter tent, but for the space and money I dont think you can find a better deal. If you were wanting a lighter two person tent that would also be good for taller people, I would check out the big agnes emerald series or the the big agnes copper spur series. However, the improved weight is offset by smaller space and higher price.
