Any suggestions about places to buy also appreciated. Is anybody familiar with the Kelty Windfoil ultralight and the Kelty Zen tents? Thanks Hank * I'm not familiar w/ Windfoil or Zen, but I am impressed w/ the Kelty Cyclone 2. A bit bigger and heavier than the two that you have mentioned, but the kayak carries the load. The Cyclone has two doors (nice feature when nature calls in the early morning), and two vestibules, sets up easily, and has kept me dry through some hellacious downpours. Check out http://www.sierratradingpost.com/, they currently have good deals on several Kelty tents, the Cyclone, and the Vortex 2, which is very similar to the Cyclone except that it is a 2 pole tent, while the Cyclone has 3. Another on-line outdoor discount place is http://www.outdooroutlet.com/. I was so impressed w/ the Cyclone that I just ordered a Vortex 4 ( room for the wife and the dog) from them at a great price. IMHO, Kelty makes a good quality tent - I would guess that the Windfoil and the Zen are also well made.
