The versatile protection is still available for three seasons.

The hybrid design is easy to pitch thanks to the hubbed poles, Kelty Connect and Hug Clip pole connectors, as well as a one-piece, hybrid design. Kelty designed this shelter with backpackers and an astronomy-loving inner person in mind.

The Performance of a
It is very easy to set up the Horizon 2 tent, with its tight pitch. Camping in the tent at 20 degrees, even though it is designed for three seasons was fine. Just make sure to have the correct sleeping bag. The condensation was no problem, but you should make sure that the rainfly is correctly positioned. The tent can accommodate two people of full size, but if your height exceeds six feet the space will be tight. The 9-square foot vestibule is easily accessible through a single door, which also makes it easy to fill. The vestibule can be used as an awning when you are not in a hurry in the morning.
