## Overview

The Kelty Late Start 2P is a lightweight, freestanding backpacking tent designed for two people, featuring a quick and easy setup with Quickcorners and pre-bent aluminum poles. Its durable 68D polyester flysheet offers 1200mm waterproof protection, while the roomy 29.5 sq ft interior and 40-inch peak height provide comfort on the trail. Eco-friendly materials and thoughtful storage options make it a top choice for millennial professionals seeking reliable, sustainable outdoor gear.

## Description

With color-coded attachment points and handy pole sleeves, the two-person Kelty Late Start 2P tent is a breeze to set up. It also delivers excellent ventilation and reliable durability at an affordable price. The tapered tent measures 85” x 54” (at its widest point), giving you an interior area of 29. 5 square feet. The peak height is 40 inches. There is a single vestibule protecting 7. 85 square feet of storage space. The two aluminum poles are pre-bent to create extra room inside the tent. Pockets at each corner of the tent keep one end of the pole secure as you move around to deal with the other end. This prevents the common problem of tent poles jumping out of grommets as soon as you walk away. The tent has a single door. The walls are No-see-um mesh and the floor is tough 68 denier fabric, water resistant to 1800 mm. Internal storage includes a ceiling pocket. The tent body is protected by a waterproof 68 denier rainfly. All seams are sealed to keep the water out. The freestanding design means you can pitch the tent and then move it around to find the best site. This tent includes Kelty’s Shark Mouth stuff sack, designed to make stuffing easier. The custom-fit Kelty Late Start 2P Footprint (sold separately) can further protect your tent from wet ground, roots and rocks.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How small can it pack down? Without stuff sack and poles? Just the max packed size. Thanks!**
A: This tent without the poles will pack down to 12". There's still room to spare for a ground sheet in the stuff sack. With a dry bag, I bet it would compress even more. The poles are actually 14.5"  It will fit in an osprey talon 33 daypack.

**Q: Can someone post actual weight of tent , rain fly.**
A: The packed weight for the Late Start 1 is 3 lbs 12 oz (1.7 kg), Late Start 2 is 4 lbs 8 oz (2.04 kg), and Late Start 4 is 6 lbs 14 oz (3.12 kg). The packed weight includes the poles and stuff sack. We don't have specs on just the weight of the tent body and rain fly without the stuff sack and poles.

**Q: The rainfly does not seem to have air vents. Are they there and I am just not seeing them?**
A: The whole tent is an air vent that’s why the fly is 1.5 to 2 inches away from the mesh screen

**Q: Can I stuff it instead of roll it?**
A: Tents should always be stuffed.  You don't want the tent to develop a memory on the seams that way the seal lasts longer.
