Ridgeway By Kelty High Country 3-Person Backpacking Sport Tent Review

I bought this at Costco for about $10 cheaper.I used it this weekend at Patapsco Valley State Park in Maryland.It is easy for me to set up alone in just a few minutes, and I'm short. Putting in the side bars is a little tricky and has created a few rips in the nylon sleeve, but it's not a big deal and doesn't affect performance.It rained over the weekend, but I stayed nice and dry.I was a little concerned that the rainfly was a bit small, but it worked very well.The night it rained it was also very humid.The side windows were nice for ventilation.The mesh "loft" is a good size for holding a small lamp.The side mesh pockets were great for holding my glasses and headlamp.The rectangular shape is great for fitting more than one tent on a campsite pad.

I wish it had two doors instead of one.I think it's a little heavy for backpacking, but great for car camping.Also, it's supposedly a 3 person tent, but I'm not sure where the third person would sleep.It's a good size for 1 or 2.

Overall it's a good value for the money.

Coleman SunDome 7-Foot by 7-Foot 3-Person Dome Tent (Orange/Gray) Review

This is only the second tent I've ever owned. The first one was a real crappy sub $20 from Sports Authority. That $20 one worked fine for that one night I used it for but I vowed spend a little more next time and hope for much better quality. The 2-person $20 leaked a bit, was terribly cramped and was awfully humid inside. All of those problems went away with this Coleman. Here are just a few reasons why I'm very happy with my purchase:

First, the price was pretty reasonable. If you find another brand with a similar design for a little less, that's fine and all but I was happy to pay what I paid and get a Coleman - even someone that has never been camping before knows Coleman is pretty trusted when it comes to things like tents, coolers and anything you use outdoors.

Second, I thought most of the other reviews here were pretty favorable. I'm just a guy that wants to head to a campsite 2-3 times a year and spend a night or two with my girlfriend. There was another review here about how it fit a guy and his fiancée with a queen size air mattress very well. That review pretty much sold me and it was spot on. I also learned that a queen size air mattress is actually a little smaller than a regular size full size you'd have in your home. That's still fine for two people but just don't think you're going to fit a giant mattress in there. The "queen" Coleman air mattress I purchased fit very well with ample room to spare.

Third, I like the colors of this tent - definitely not a great reason to base your choice of shelter but I still like the way it looks.

Fourth, It poured rain as we slept the first night. It was a pretty bad thunderstorm and it came down hard. There were not any leaks I could find. It also probably helped that this was a brand new tent, I'm pretty sure all tents will spring leaks as they get older and require seam sealer.

Fifth, Ease of use - this thing goes up and comes down pretty easily. A child can figure this thing out and it fits in a bag that's pretty small and easy to manage.

So if you're like me and just need a nice little tent for the occasional camping trip, this is a great choice. You can see how it looks in my pics compared to a giant 8 person tent too.
