Kelty Mantra Tent 5-Person 3-Season

Trailheads are more comfortable than home with the Kelty's 5-Person, 3-Season Mantra 5 Tent. Unlike lesser family tents, the Mantra uses high quality DAC aluminum poles and a mix of clip and sleeve construction, for a mix of toughness and ventilation in wind and weather for years to come. You don't buy a Mantra for the weekend, you buy one of these collapsible mansions for life. Double doors, each with noiseless zipper pulls and individual vestibules, let everyone do their nighttime business without disturbing the rest of the tent. Taped floor seams mean the Mantra can literally be sitting in a couple inches of water and nobody inside will notice. The Mantra's poles and clips are color-coded so you aren't standing at the campsite scratching your head, and thoughtful details like the interior organizer wall give a level of polish seldom seen in a car camping tent. If you're camping with a big group, or just want a lot of space, the Mantra should be the first tent you grab for.

Bottom Line: Go big or go home.

Roomy, cozy, and non-leaky

By:

Awesome tent! Took it camping in the fall as soon as I got it, and it performed splendidly! It actually comfortly fit 5 people (unlike some I've been in), and stood up to a long hard rainstorm without any leakage (we didn't even give it an extra seal beforehand). The rain fly is held a good ways away from the tent, so it's not easy to knock the side and get everything wet. I also like the two entries, which came in handy with more people. It was a cozy place for 8 people to cram in and play cards while staying out of the rain! Plus it was easy to set up and take down!

Great Dry Tent

By:
August 12, 2008

The Mantra 5 is hands down the best tent I have ever owned! The family and I just got back from a week long camping trip, it rained 3 of the 5 days. NOT a drop inside of the tent. If to staying dry is what you want this is the tent for you. Bottem line, buy the tent you wont regret it.

lousy zippers

By:

We bought this tent after reading a lot of reviews, and we loved many of its features, but the first night we used it, the zipper on the fly seized. The next day, the another zipper malfunctioned, and we decided that this was it for the Kelty Mantra. I was very sorry, because there was so much to like about this tent.

Roomy family tent

By:

Mantra 5 replaces our 1 year old Coleman 6 person family tent. It is easy to setup by one person and it has plenty of room to move around and store gear inside. The tent has been solid and dry during windy thunderstorms in the Rockies. Would have given 5 stars but the included aluminum tent stakes are pretty to look at but has no strength. Definitely NOT for hammering. Half of them bent on first use. The rest were all bent by the end of second camping trip. Replaced them with MSR Groundhogs.

Mantra 5

By:
April 11, 2007

I purchased the Mantra 5 person tent in order to do some Spring camping with my family. We went to Arkansas over SB and had temps in the mid 30's and winds. The tent was easy to setup by myself, and help up wonderful in the wind. My only concern is the 2 tiny white spaces in seams due to tension on side poles.
