Kelty Discovery Trail 2

The Kelty Discovery Trail 2 is a freestanding, 3-season dome tent for 2 people with a packaged weight of 1970 g — about 985 g per person, a reasonable split for backpacking rather than car camping. Kelty's Quick Corners system, colour-coded pole ends that clip straight into the corners, is built to cut down setup time and fumbling compared with threading poles through sleeves in the dark or rain. As a standard 3-season design, it's suited to spring through autumn trips in temperate conditions rather than sustained snow loading or exposed winter camping. For hikers doing weekend or multi-day backpacking trips who want a straightforward, quick-pitch tent without paying for the fabric and pole upgrades of ultralight or four-season models, the Discovery Trail 2 covers the basics.
