Know before you buy
The Quick Corners system uses tension pockets at the base of the tent that hold the pole tips securely in place. This design allows you to set up the tent structure without needing to fiddle with grommets or pins, making the initial pitch significantly faster and easier.
At 7.66 lbs, this tent is on the heavier side for long-distance backpacking. It is best suited for car camping, festivals, or short hikes where weight is less of a concern than ease of setup and interior comfort.
These integrated pockets are designed to hold your headlamp or a small lantern. The fabric of the pockets is specifically chosen to diffuse the light, turning your headlamp into a soft, ambient overhead light for the entire tent.
No, the Kelty Wireless 2 does not include a footprint. We recommend purchasing a compatible ground tarp or footprint separately to protect the floor fabric from abrasion and moisture over time.
The two EZ-Zip vestibules provide dedicated, covered space outside the tent body for each person. This is ideal for keeping muddy boots and packs protected from the elements while keeping the interior of the tent clear for sleeping.
Yes, the tent features a 1800mm waterproof rating on the floor and durable polyester construction. While it is built to handle standard three-season rain, ensure the rainfly is properly staked out to maintain airflow and prevent condensation buildup.
