Kelty Dirt Motel 2P 3-Season Backpacking Tent

Offering exceptional room for your head and shoulders, the 3-season Kelty Dirt Motel 2P tent offers you an unobstructed view of the backcountry if you peel back the protective rainfly.

The tapered tent measures 84” x 50” (at its widest point), with a peak height of 42.5 inches. The interior space is 28 square feet. It has two vented vestibules, which together protect almost 18 square feet of real estate.

The tent is supported by compact DAC PressFit poles. The setup for this tent includes two hubbed poles and one ridge pole. This assembly creates vertical walls, which provide more overall living space inside the tent, instead of just a peak in the center. There are internal storage pockets including a ceiling pocket.

The floor of the tent is polyurethane coated 70 denier nylon with a 3000 mm water resistant rating. No-see-um mesh walls provide ventilation and keep out unwelcome guests. Two doors provide flexibility: Each camper can have their own doorway and vestibule or you can dedicate one door and vestibule to storage while keeping the other clear. The freestanding design means you can pitch the tent and then move it around to find the best site. The rainfly is 40 denier siliconized ripstop nylon rated to 1500 mm. All seams are tape sealed to further ensure weather protection.

The standout feature of this tent is Kelty’s popular Stargazing Fly system. This arrangement lets you quickly and easily roll up a portion of the rainfly. Secure the rolled fly with simple clips and you’re free to enjoy a view of the stars and reap the benefits of increased ventilation. If the weather changes or you want more privacy, simply unclip the fly, roll it down and secure it to the tent corners.

This tent includes Kelty’s Shark Mouth stuff sack, designed to make stuffing easier, and reflective guy lines. The custom-fit Kelty Dirt Motel 2P Footprint (sold separately) can further protect your tent from wet ground, roots and rocks.
