Kelty Late Start Tent

The Quick Corner system uses structured pockets at each corner of the tent floor to hold the pole ends securely in place. This design allows you to insert the poles without needing to fumble with grommets, making it significantly faster and easier to pitch the tent by yourself, even in the dark.

With a floor area of 19.7 square feet, the Late Start is a true two-person tent, but it is a snug fit. It is best suited for couples or close friends who don't mind sharing close quarters, or for a solo camper who wants extra room to spread out gear.

Yes, the Late Start includes a footprint. This is a great value-add that protects the tent floor from abrasion, moisture, and debris, extending the overall lifespan of your shelter.

The minimum trail weight is 3.56 lbs, which includes the tent body, rainfly, and poles. While not an ultralight option, it strikes a solid balance between durability and portability for most backpacking trips.

Yes, the tent features a vestibule with 6.7 square feet of space. This area is perfect for keeping muddy boots, packs, and other gear protected from the rain while keeping the interior of your tent clean and uncluttered.

This is a 3-season tent, meaning it is built to handle spring, summer, and fall conditions. The full-coverage waterproof rainfly provides reliable protection against rain and wind, while the materials are designed to manage moisture and keep the interior comfortable.
