Kelty Grand Mesa 2

The Kelty Grand Mesa 2 is a 2-person, 3-season dome tent built around Quick Corner poles — colour-coded pole ends that clip straight into the tent's corners for a faster pitch than threading poles through fabric sleeves. The poles themselves are aluminium rather than fibreglass, which trims weight and holds up better to repeated flexing over a season of trips, though Kelty doesn't publish a packaged weight figure for this listing. An EZ-Zip vestibule adds a zippered gear-storage area outside the sleeping compartment, keeping muddy boots and packs out of the tent proper. As a standard 3-season backpacking tent, it's built for spring-through-autumn trips in temperate conditions, not sustained snow loading. It suits two hikers on weekend or multi-day trips who want a straightforward pitch and don't need it to double as an all-season shelter.
