Kelty Late Start 2

The Kelty Late Start 2 is a 3-season dome tent for two people, weighing 2155 g packaged — about 1050 g per person. Quick Corner poles clip in at the corners for a faster pitch, and pre-bent poles push the walls outward to add usable living space compared with a straight-pole dome of similar footprint. A footprint is sold separately if you want extra floor protection. At just over 2 kg, it's light enough to carry for backpacking without being an ultralight-specific design, and the 3-season rating covers spring through autumn rather than sustained snow or winter wind loading. The Quick Corner system matters most on trips where you're pitching camp in fading light or bad weather and want the tent up fast rather than fiddling with pole sleeves. This suits two people doing weekend or multi-day backpacking trips who want reasonably quick setup and don't need a 4-season shelter for winter conditions.
