Anbody familiar with the Kelty Quartz 4 season tents?

[twochordcool]

The cost of these are very reasonable when compared to other 4 season tents, but are they too good too be true at that price?

Anybody have first-hand experience with them or know anybody that owns one and is pleased with it?

Don't have first-hand knowledge, but I was looking into this tent a few weeks back (haven't bought one yet) and came across the following reviews on Trailspace.com..........

I'm not familiar with the Kelty Quartz 4 season tents.

I did a quick web search though:

"Off the wall" = The Quartz sound nice, only 2 poles, medium weight, the dual doors are nice but then the dual vestibules may be too small, I think I'd like more vestibule room.

Hope you find somebody that has one, and can comment.

Good Luck,
John

Edit: I found a different spec page for the Quartz and it looks like the vestibules are a very nice size. :-)

I have a Kelty Quartz 1 person tent. I have to say I'm happy with it. I've only used it for 1 winter trip. It went down to about 10 degrees, with a wind about 20 mph. The temperature inside was about 35-40 degrees,
and the tent was standing firm in the wind. I have another 3 season tent, but I only use it for warmer conditions. This Kelty tent is good to use in the Fall and Spring, as well.
