Quoted By:
The Kelty is better.
1. high placed vent = less condensation
2. zipper placement = no reaching out over muddy ground to open it
3. guy line tieouts = more stable in wind
4. lighter colour = cooler in sun
5. better fly coverage = more protective in rain, vestibule, and more stable in wind
The other tent has better treatment on the fly and floor, but regardless of that, I would trust the Kelty over some Chinois brand.
