Kelty Mantra 7 Tent Review

Filed under 4 Person Tent
I recently returner from a camping trip in Yosemite using this tent for the first time. Putting up the tent the first time wasn’t too tough, but it took about 30 minutes (taking my time).
You will need a lot of room on one side of the tent (at least 20 feet) to slide these humongous gold poles through the tent sleeves. The tent itself is pretty nice. There is HEAPS of room on the inside and we got this tent specifically so we could put our son on the other side since he can be an abusive sleeper, but we didn’t end up using the divider.
Kelty Mantra 7 Tent Positives
The positives of this tent are large sleeping space, tall enough to stand in (I’m 6’2″), good ventilation, setup wasn’t too bad, 3-season tent with good rainfly. The bad? Well, it would have been nice to have some type of privacy without the rainfly being on. The screens on the front are huge and you can see right through them.
Kelty Mantra 7 Tent Negatives
The negatives: Pushing the tent poles through the sleeves was kinda tough as the material wanted to grab onto the poles. Just takes a little more time and a helper would make the process easier. The floor material seemed a little thin and it got me worried when I brought our suitcase in there. The floor looked nicely sealed against the elements though. We didn’t have the tent in the rain, so I can’t tell you how it performed…although it started to rain just as I was packing the tent away in the back of the car.
Summary: My recommendation
The vestibule on this tent is large and you can pretty much set a seat or two within it. With the rainfly on, it makes the tent much larger, so plan on having a large campsite to put this tent in place. Yes, it’s a large tent…and that’s what you are looking for!
If I was to purchase again, I would buy this tent again.

Kelty Green River 4 Review

I bought this tent 5 months ago and have spent many weekends this Summer living in it. I travel to a lot of music festivals and wanted something weather-proof, roomy, and tall enough to stand up in. These requirements were nicely met (and exceeded) by this tent.
Positives of the Kelty Green River 4
It is much roomier that your typical 4-person tent. At aproximately 9′X9′, the interior easily fits a queen-size inflatible matteress with plenty of room on all sides for tons of gear. The nice thing about the height of this tent is that the roof is at its maximum height right inside the door – not just in the very center like most dome tents.
As far as being weather-proof, I’ve endured a few nasty wind and rain storms and I haven’t gotten a drop of rain in it; The full-coverage rain fly on this tent is a wonderful feature. This tent also has lots of nice buckles, velcro, and elastic hooks secure everything firmly in place. Well-placed screening and vents keep air circulating in hot weather.
Negatives of the Kelty Green River 4
My gripes with this tent are few. One is that I’ve never been able to roll it up tight enough to fit all of the pieces back into the original carrying case. My other gripe is that the tent poles are so long, its difficult to set up in close quarters (between trees, other tents, etc.) and a bit of a struggle for one person.
I also didn’t understand the purpose of the ground flaps around the door until I saw it set up. The flaps secure the vestibule – a nice place to store your cooler, shoes, and chairs out of the weather or to use like a screen room to avoid insects.
Summary: My Recommendation
All in all, I’m very happy I ‘upgraded’ from my usual department store-type tent to this much higher quality tent. Worth every penny!
I bought mine from Altrac for $294.95. You can find them here.
