Product Description

Amazon.com

With 143 square feet of sleeping space, the Kelty Parthenon eight-person mansion-style tent is roomy enough for the whole family. The Parthenon is spacious from head to toe, measuring 11 by 13 feet across the floor and standing 6 feet 4 inches in the center. As a result, your wife, kids, and dog have plenty of room to stretch out, or you can turn your camping trip into a party by bringing a few friends along. The Parthenon is also fully weatherproof, with a polyester taffeta rainfly that pulls taut, along with an ArcEdge polyurethane-coated floor with specially constructed waterproof seams located above ground level. And to prevent condensation, the tent includes mesh wall panels and fly vents to keep the air flowing.

The Parthenon is easy to set up and take down thanks to the easy-fit DAC hybrid poles and color-coded clip sleeves. To encourage privacy within the tent, Kelty added an interior divider, in effect creating two separate rooms. Other details include an organizer wall, gear loft loops, adjustable stakeouts, a dual-entry vestibule, a side-release buckle tent-fly connection, noiseless zipper pulls, and guyout points.



The Parthenon sleeps up to 8 people in its 143-square-foot main room.

About Kelty
Kelty has been building affordable, reliable outdoor gear since 1952, helping everyone--from the first-time camper to the experienced mountaineer--embrace the outdoor experience with confidence. Dick Kelty launched the company after years of making backpacks in his home or garage for friends, hand forming and welding each of the frames while his wife sewed the pack bags. The original Kelty packs included aircraft-aluminum contoured frames, padded shoulder straps, waist belts, clevis-pin attachments, nylon pack cloth, zippered pockets, and hold-open frames. Dick Kelty quit his carpentry business in 1956 to focus full time on Kelty Packs, and turned an old Glendale, California, barbershop into his first retail store and factory. In the ensuring years, Kelty expanded its product line to include daypacks, luggage, waterproof clothing, child carriers, jogging strollers, and more.

An interior divider provides privacy, and the large mesh side panels ensure that the tent remains ventilated on hot summer days. This sturdy tent also has an organizer wall to keep you organized.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tent!, April 3, 2011

This review is from: Kelty Parthenon 8-Person Tent (Sports)
I purchased this tent early last summer (2010). I did A LOT of research, reading reviews, checking features, etc. This tent was a bit more than I initially wanted to spend, but it has been worth it. At first I was looking at the "throw away" tents that rarely give you more than a year of use from department stores. The main thing I wanted to make sure my tent could do was to resist leaking, and most department store tents do not do that consistently. This tent has not leaked at all, and when I say not at all, I mean not a drop. I'm not one who would be satisfied with a tent that only gets a few small drops of water in one of the corners along the seem. To me, not leaking is not leaking.

There is a lot of room inside this tent. Two queen-sized mattresses and a double-sized mattress easily fit in this tent, leaving plenty of room for bags also inside the tent. Air flow through the tent is great, but reduced a little with the rain cover on (obviously)... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST BIG TENT I'VE EVER USED, May 25, 2011

A very big tent that one person can easily and intuitively set up. High quality zippers, poles and materials make this tent stand out as one of the best outdoor products I've ever owned. It was hard to transition from 20 years of backpacking the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, the Himalayas, and the Alps to car camping with the kids. This tent made that transition bearable.

This review is from: Kelty Parthenon 8-Person Tent (Sports)
Tente très spacieuse. Facile à monter. Le double-toit demande un peu d'agilité en hauteur pour passer par dessus. L'intérieur de la tente est blanc ce qui lui procure une grande clarté. On apprécie les deux grandes fentres qui permettent de contempler le ciel étoilé ou aérer le jour. La tente est restée étanche après de très fortes pluies. Nous avons subit des vents avec rafales de 60 km/h avec fortes pluies durant toute une nuit, et les forts vents à plusieurs reprises. Loge un lit de camp simple, avec un lit double, un lit pour grand chien, et une table à pique-nique de camping pliable pour deux personnes, et permet de marcher debout. Excellent achat. Facile à monter, le système de poteau facile à comprendre.

Very spatious tent, easy to set-up, the fly is a bit high to put over but it's not a big deal. A lot a light inside in reason of white... Read more
