Rating: - Really super tent
My boyfriend and I were looking for a more spacious tent since the addition of our puppy made our old tent a little cramped. I purchased this tent as an anniversary gift and I don't think I could have made a better choice for my money. It is almost double the size of what we had and weighs only 4 pounds more! The design of the tent allows for so much ventilation through the night that there was absolutely no moisture on the fly when we woke up. I was concerned the huge screens and floor vents would make for a chilly night, but I have never been so warm on a camping trip. I would recommend this tent to anyone who needs something roomy, comfy and light for 2 or more people. Well done Kelty! They really know what they are doing.

Rating: - Great two-person tent!
Just came back from two consecutive camping trips with this tent - easy to set up, roomy, lots of vents, and fantastic two doors (and therefore two vestibules). Very roomy for me and my tall husband. Only criticism: pegs are weak. You need to get some good pegs to replace them.

Rating: - Ultimate Tall-Man Tent
I two of these tents and both are the 2007 version. If you turn the tent 90 degrees and sleep length-wise - at 100 inches - this tent is the ultimate tall-man tent. Each person gets a vestibule and even an extra long sleeping bag doesn't touch the tent at head or tow. I have two of these tents - one for me and my wife and another for the kids. This tent is quite roomy for two tall or large adults or 4 kids.

Rating: - BAIT AND SWITCH??
I ordered this product when I saw it listed on the Amazon site for 129. The next day the price jumped to 189, so clearly the price information had been listed incorrectly, or there was an incredible one day sale that I lucked into.

Prior to ordering, I carefully compared the specs listed above to the information listed at Kelty's main website and confirmed that this SHOULD be the 2008 Gunnison 4.1 version. What arrived was the 2007 version.

This page lists the weights as follows:

Minimum weight: 7 lb. 7 oz. / 3.37 kg
Packaged weight: 8 lb. 0 oz. / 3.63 kg
Pole type: DAC Featherlite NSL poles + swivel hub

The Kelty Gunnison box I recived lists these weights as:

Minimum weight: 8 lbs.
Packaged weight: 8 lbs. 11 oz.
Pole type: DAC Pressfit aluminum poles

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT AMAZON IS LISTING THE 2008 SPECS, WHILE SHIPPING THE 2007 TENT. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
