It's waterproof and seam sealed. It would definitely work for a fly over a hammock.

The strap is about 50" around fully extended. I'm 6'5" and tried our sample out as sling and it would definitely work. Hope that helps...

They are made out of mesh.

Rob- The sternum strap is attached to the shoulder strap and slides up and down. It's very adjustable.

Tim, Good queston. I went into our showroom and took a photo (sorry for the craptacular quality) to explain why it only has a draft tube. The draft tube is continuous from the zipper around the opening for your head. It serves both as a draft tube and a draft collar. Hope this helps.

A small window is located just above the Sierra Designs logo on the fly. There are two doors and two vestibules on this tent. The front vestibule is 18 sq ft and the rear vestibule is 11 sq ft.

For bigger kids you definitely want to have their legs hang out the sides. You might want to take a look at the Stirrup accessory to give your son a place to rest his feet: http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Kelty-Kids-Carrier-Stirrups/KEL0342M.html#reviews

Rob - The volume of each pack includes the sleeping bag compartment. How much volume the sleeping bag takes up really depends on if the bag is synthetic or down, mummy or rectangular. A synthetic bag is going to take a lot more space in your pack than a down bag. The Tioga weighs just a few more ounces than the Trekker. I don't want to speak for Jeff, but the Trekker may be more versatile in that you could lash a pad or other gear under the pack bag and it has more exterior pockets than the Tioga. Basically it comes down to how much gear you want to haul into the backcounty. The packs will fit and perform same. Hope this helps!

Hey Charlie,

Give the Kelty Warranty department a call: 800-535-3589. They can get you hooked up with replacement poles.

Unfortunately it does not fit the convertible backpack stroller.

This thing can hold a lot of weight. 70-80 lbs. wouldn't be an issue.

It really depends on if your child can hold his/her own head up yet. This pack is not designed to carry a baby under 6 months old.

7" x 14".

There is not an opening at the bottom.

Unfortunately you can't "Fastpack" this tent.

The no-bug net will not likely fit on the joyrider as it is a different brand of stroller. I believe BC.com does ship to Canada.

The tent comes with 6 stakes. You'll need 4 stakes (one in each corner). The fly is an awning style and will not need additional stakes. Hope this helps...

I'd wait until he/she can hold their head up unassisted. I have a 3 month old as well, and I definitely wouldn't put her in the pack yet. Hope that helps.

The dimensions above are wrong. The regular fits up to 5'5" and the long up to 5'11". The Sierra Designs bags have been running a bit generous in size so a long should work fine for you.

The Gunnison does not come with a gear loft but it does have loops so that you can attach one.

On the Double, the pillow pocket is under each person's head.

The Coyote has a torso range of 16 - 22". He's right in the middle so it should fit great. This is versatile pack, you can fill it up or strap down the excess space if you don't. It should be the ticket for your 3 day trip.

It zips on both sides.

This tent would be pretty good but I think you'd want a full cover fly like the Gunnison 2.1.

No. The attachment of the cover is different for the FC's and TC's. You'll need a TC specific cover.

Yes. Contact the Kelty Warranty dept at 800-535-3589.

It zips all apart to make a couple quilts or zip the seperate parts up to make single bags.

The Shield has hooks on it. Make sure you have the right size.

I agree, the dimensions of the footprint should probably be listed. I'll see if that can be updated in the future. If you are looking for a specific footprint for an older tent try a google search or call the Kelty warranty dept at 800-535-3589. Hope that helps.

Two will zip together nicely.

Not really. It's a hip length zipper so it doesn't open flat like a blanket. If you want to hook two together, check out the Fleece Travel sheet: http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Kelty-Fleece-Travel-Sheet/KEL0594M.html

The shoulder width is actually about 32". It also features a pre-bent aluminum pole to keep the fabric off your face.

The hood does stow completely into the collar. The collar will be just at your chin, not below.

Hey Michael, Call the Warranty dept at Kelty: 1.866.349.7225. They'll get you hooked up with a new bracket.

Check out the fleece liner bag: http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Kelty-Lightweight-Fleece-Sleeping-Bag-Liner/KEL0422M.html It will fit inside your bag and add about 10 degrees F of warmth.

It doesn't zip in. I think you would be better off adding a sleeping bag liner to your light year 45. Check out: http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Kelty-Lightweight-Fleece-Sleeping-Bag-Liner/KEL0422M.html It will add about 10 degrees F of warmth to your current bag.

You could have the wrong footprint for the tent you have. It sounds like you have one size larger tent than the footprint.

Unfortunately no. This style was discontinued. For another big Kelty tent, check out the Mantra 7, Green River 6 or Villa 6.

The 3950 fits a toso range of 16-22". The 3900 fits a torso range of 14-20". The waist belts are the same, you won't have a problem fitting your skinny waist! You're basically in the middle of each range, I'd go for the extra 50 cu in.

I think it would be great at the beach as long as you had some poles or another structure to attach it to. There's plenty of guy outs to stabilize the tarp if it's windy.

Updates in styling. Both are older styles. If you are looking for hood, I'd recommend calling the warranty dept at Kelty: 800-535-3589.

This hood is built for a newer style. Chances are that it will not work with your pack. Give the warranty dept a call: 800-504-2745, they may be able to help you track down what you need.

Give the warranty department a call: 800-535-3589. They should be able to help you.

Hey Jim,

Use this number instead: 800-535-3589. It will take you directly to our warranty department. They'll take good care of you.

The Ouray tent weighs 5 lbs. 11 oz.

It has a sleeve but no hooks for your bladder.

I'm not sure what the circumference is but it will definitely fit a Nalgene.

Frame packs are great if you plan on hiking on well maintained trails without low hanging branches. They're easy to pack and can haul a ton of gear. If you plan on doing a lot of hiking on uneven ground or off trail, I'd recommend an internal frame pack like the Red Cloud 6650 or Coyote 4750. Hope that helps.

It hasn't been tested in a wind tunnel if that's what you're asking. If you stake out all of the guy lines, it'll stand up to a pretty heavy duty wind storm. Hope that helps...

Stone is a very light khaki color.

Unfortunately, Backcountry.com is out of the Grand Mesa 2 footprints. I'd recommend finding an exact footprint, you'll be happier in the long run. You can easily find one through a google search.

This is the 2009 model.

50 lbs. But by the time your child weighs 40 lbs, he/she would probably rather walk.... until they get tired!

A poly-cotton blend is going to wick moisture from your body and dry out a lot faster than a 100% cotton sheet. I would recommend this sheet.

There is not another rain fly for this tent. If you want a full coverage fly option, checkout the Zeta 2: http://www.backcountry.com/store/SDS0380/Sierra-Designs-Zeta-2-Tent-2-Person-3-Season.html It doesn't cost much more and offers a lot more liveable space inside.

Unfortunately, the floor layout is different enough that the Crestone footprint won't work with the Teton 2.

Depends on how early in the Spring. A fleece liner adds about 10 degrees of warmth to a sleeping bag. If you think you might see temps colder than 30 degrees, I'd take your heavier bag. Hope that helps...

As long as you have a roof rack, it will work great!

The 2009 version is the Gunnison 2.1.

They are not made in the USA. Like most of the tents sold on BC.com, they are made in China.

The fly is fully seam sealed and the exposed walls are watertight. You should stay nice and dry in this tent.

It's actually tan and maroon, not pink at all!

The Screen area is basically a big vestibule. There is not a floor in it.

Yes. As long as it is the TC Rain Hood (http://www.backcountry.com/store/KEL0512/Kelty-TC-Sun-Rain-Hood.html) and NOT the FC Rain Hood. They attach to the packs differently.

It really depends on the type of load you are carrying and where you are carrying it. External frame packs are load warriors: packs designed to carry large loads for long distances over relatively well established trails without a lot of low overhanging branches or narrow passages. An internal frame pack is ideally suited for trips where balance is critical or where narrow spaces will be encountered.

The bottle has a unique "kicker valve". Pull the valve out with your fingers or mouth, bite the valve and squeeze the bottle. "Kick" the valve to the side and it'll retract down to it's leak proof position in the bottle. This valve allows for a little or a lot of flow without much effort.

The Gunnison 3.1 tent has two doors, one on each side. Each has about a 12 sq ft vestibule.

Patrick, Unfortunately it won't fit. You're Gunnison is 4" longer and 13" wider than the Teton 2. You need this footprint: http://www.backcountry.com/store/KEL0304/Kelty-Gunnison-2-Footprint.html

Packed up it measures 8"x32"x19". Roughly suitcase sized.

She may be on the edge of this pack not fitting depending on her torso length. To measure torso length checkout this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qvt29gv0X8 . If her torso is too small for the Agile check out the Kelty Red Cloud W: http://www.backcountry.com/store/KEL0634/Kelty-Red-Cloud-Backpack-Womens-5000cu-in.html. It fits a torso range from 12" - 17". Hope that helps.

The poles are 78" long.

I'm 6 5 and wear an XL. It's roomy enough to fit a micro fleece under.

The Medium has a 34 sleeve and the large has 35 sleeve. You should fit into a Medium but if you want to layer under, I'd probably go with a Large. There is velcro on cuffs so you can cinch em down and keep the rain out.

Taylor is right that it doesn't have the highest of WP or Breathable ratings. But in NM (high desert) you shouldn't be running into any super colossal multi day rain storms. This jacket is more than enough to keep you dry during an afternoon T-storm and if you get hot, just open the vents and let some air in! The other bonus is that it's not going to break your bank at $66. I'm about your size and I wear an XL. It has plenty of room under it to layer if need be.

This is warm bag. If you want a little more versitility (and warmth), buy a liner bag (http://www.backcountry.com/store/KEL0422/Kelty-Lightweight-Fleece-Sleeping-Bag-Liner.html) to go with it. It will add about 10 degrees of more warmth and will double as a travel sheet when you're in the warmer temps at lower elevation in Africa.

The Velox 2 is about a pound lighter, 5.5 sq ft smaller (28.5 sq ft. vs. 34 sq ft) and has two equal sized vestibules at 7 sq ft vs a large front door vestibule (16.5 sq ft) and small back door vestibule (3 sq ft.) on the ASP 2. Hope this helps.

Two twin air mattresses will easily fit into this tent.

The Lightpath 2 and Teton 2 are two different animals. The Teton 2 is free standing and your entry is from the side. The Lightpath is not free standing and the entry is on the end. Although you lose some vestibule space with the Teton, you gain some livable space with a little more head room and a bit more floor space. You should have plenty of space for your gear in this tent.

It comes with a stuff sack.

900 cubic inches, L 21" x W 13" x H 15", Weight = 1 lb. 2 oz

Hey Renee- That's a bummer! The pant your dog ate was a Hurricane HP Pant. Check it out here: http://www.backcountry.com/store/SDS0403/Sierra-Designs-Hurricane-HP-Pant-Mens.html

The Sirius 2 and Sirius 3 are both 84" long. The Sirius 2 is 18" shorter in width (53" vs 71"). Backcountry.com has the Sirius 3 footprint in stock: http://www.backcountry.com/store/SDS0383/Sierra-Designs-Sirius-3-Footprint.html

A medium would work well.

3 bintos (small bags) are included with the Binto Hauler 3.

10 oz.

The Red Cloud is not waterproof. Use a pack cover to keep it dry. They're light weight and inexpensive: http://www.backcountry.com/store/KEL0149/Kelty-Backpack-Rain-Cover.html
This would be a great pack for a trip to Thailand. Lots of space for your stuff and the removable hood turns into a hip pack. You can load the pack from top or through the back panel so getting at your stuff in the middle of the pack is a breeze. Have fun on your trip!

Absolutely! This jacket features a 2.5 layer solvent-free laminate that has 10,000 mm of waterproofness and 8,000 gm/m2 breathability. All of the seams are taped with PVC free seam tape. This all adds up to a jacket that's going to keep you dry and comfortable in whatever weather Seattle throws at you!

Unfortunately, the fixed wheel cannot be retroed into a swivel wheel. The 2009 model features a swivel wheel.

Even though this is just the bug screen. Kelty Kid carriers are rated to 40 lbs. There's a lot of adjustment inside to accomodate your growing son!

Not loose but definitely enough room to put another layer under if needed.

Ilene, Please call 800-736-8551. The Sierra Designs Warranty dept can give you a hand with this.

Hi Natalie,

The 2009 Speedster has a smaller swivel front wheel without a front fender. Same harness, brake, sun/light rain cover and lower storage bin. Hope this helps.

It does not have a two-way zipper. Most light weight rain jackets don't have two-way zips.

Emily, Check out the Kelty Red Cloud 5000: http://www.backcountry.com/store/KEL0634/Kelty-Red-Cloud-Backpack-Womens-5000cu-in.html
It's built specifically to fit women and at $199.95, it's a great value.
