Kelty Far Out Backpacking Tent + Footprint Package — 2 Person (2P)

Kelty Far Out: A practical starter shelter for backpackers

The Kelty Far Out Backpacking Tent + Footprint Package is designed to simplify your first overnight trips or a quick return to the backcountry. This ready-to-pitch kit pairs a two-person shelter with a purpose-built footprint, lightweight aluminum poles, and pre-attached guylines. The setup experience aims to feel straightforward, even after a long day on the trail, so you can focus on the moment instead of the hardware.

What’s included and why it matters

• Included footprint minimizes ground moisture and protects the tent floor for longer life on rough or damp ground.
• Lightweight aluminum poles keep the overall pack weight down without sacrificing stability.
• Pre-attached guylines simplify staking and tensioning in changing weather conditions.
• Shark Mouth stuff sack with a wide 45-degree opening makes packing and repacking easier, even if contents aren’t perfectly aligned.

When night falls, the Stargazer fly opens up the option to enjoy a starry view while still offering weather protection. You can reposition the rainfly from inside the inner tent or roll it back for an uninterrupted sky show, depending on your mood and the forecast.

Space, comfort, and layout

• 2-door, 2-vestibule configuration provides accessible entry and dedicated gear storage for two people.
• Clever inner gear pockets help keep small essentials within reach during setup and sleep.
• Featherlight stakes and a three-pole design enable a reliable build in a variety of terrain.
• 2P model weighs about 4 lb 10 oz, offers 28 sq ft of floor space, and a 43 in peak; 3P model weighs about 5 lb 3 oz with 40 sq ft and the same peak.

Beyond the basics, the kit emphasizes practicality in real-world campsites. The footprint and durable fabric choices support use on uneven ground, while the two-door access and vestibules help organize gear for two hikers on weekend trips or longer treks with a compact packing plan.

Environmental mindset and responsible design

Kelty aligns with conservation values as a founding member of The Conservation Alliance. The tent fabrics and coatings are designed to be DWR/PFC-free, reducing environmental impact while keeping shelter performance reliable in a range of conditions.

In short, this Far Out package aims to offer a balanced combination of ease, durability, and thoughtful features that can support enjoyable, low-stress nights outdoors. It’s positioned as a practical option for new backpackers and returning campers who want a dependable, simply pitched shelter with room to grow into more ambitious trips.
