The Kelty Night Owl 3P offers excellent backpacking and camping livability at an affordable price. Easy to set up and equipped with pockets that help with illumination, it's ideal for those who stay on the trail until after dark and appreciate extra visibility when setting up camp.
This tent measures 90” x 73” and has an interior 45.6 square feet of internal space. The peak height is 43 inches. There are two vented vestibules which each protect 10 square feet.
The aluminum pole set consists of two hubbed and one ridged pole. Pockets at the corners of the tent keep one end of the pole secure as you move around to deal with the other end. This prevents the common problem of tent poles jumping out of grommets as soon as you walk away. Guy line pockets mean that you won’t have bits of line blowing in the wind.
The tent has two doors to easily accommodate the traffic of three people. The walls are No-see-um mesh and the floor is tough 68 denier fabric, water resistant to 1800 mm. The seams are taped to keep moisture on the outside. The freestanding design means you can pitch the tent and then move it around to find the best site. Internal storage pockets include a ceiling pocket. Some of these are nightlight pockets, made to convert your headlamp’s beam into a comfortable interior glow.
The tent is protected by a waterproof 68 denier rainfly. But this isn’t just any rainfly. This night-themed tent boasts 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. A custom footprint (sold separately) can further protect your tent from wet ground, roots and rocks.
