I know, it's heavier than any of us would admit owning, but it gets pretty good reviews, and someone may be on a budget. Kelty Grand Mesa 2 for $69.99, Grand Mesa 4 fro $119.99 on bobwards.com.
Jul 14, 2011 at 7:16 pm #1759450I use one for car camping, and I like it. At that price its a great buy. It is tight fit for 2, but OK if they are on close terms.
get rid of the heavy stuffsacks (-3oz), use 6 ti stakes (-2 oz), and replace the heavy DAC poles with nanolights (-4oz) and it comes in at a respectable weight. (3 lb 14 oz I think.
If you wanted to use carbon fiber poles, it would then come in at about 3lb 8oz. Very respectable for a conventional 2 person tent. Of course the carbon fiber poles will cost $150 and will also break eventually.
Jul 14, 2011 at 9:14 pm #1759499Oops, I was confusing the Grand Mesa with the Salida.
Jul 15, 2011 at 12:18 am #1759537Sorry, just to clarify . . . you saw a Salida for $69 rather than the Grand Mesa 2 or were you mixing the two of them up when you were referring to it as "heavy" ??
Jul 15, 2011 at 6:15 am #1759566Nope, it's a Grand Mesa. I was confusing that with the Salida, which is kelty's newer, lighter tent.
