For backpacking trips, short and long, be certain to pack the lightweight Kelty Sailda 2 Tent and keep yourself comfortable, protected and well rested when it counts.Winner of the 2011 Backpacker Magazine Editor’s Choice Award, the Kelty Salida 2 offers great value in a basic ultralight backpacking tent. This two-person, three-season tent’s weatherproof protection was tested by Backpacker gear testers in the soggy and windy conditions of the Pacific Northwest, where it provided a comfortable and dry backcountry escape. The Salida 2 features a minimalist design with one side door, a 30.5 square foot interior, and a ten square foot vestibule–its lack of frills keeps the weight, and the price, down.

The Salida 2 is well-ventilated and sturdy, thanks to mesh wall panels and a solid two-pole support system. The 68 denier ripstop nylon floor is durable, tough, and resists rips and abrasion, while the double-wall dome fly keeps campers dry no matter how wet the weather.
