Our Take

The Kelty Tallboy 6 is a standout budget tent that prioritizes vertical space, allowing most campers to stand fully upright thanks to its impressive 72-inch peak height.

It features a straightforward X-pole design and color-coded attachments that make setup incredibly fast and simple even for solo campers.

While it skips a vestibule to keep costs down, the massive internal floor space and durable 68D fabrics offer reliable protection for families or groups on casual car camping trips.

The included shark-mouth duffel ensures that packing up is just as easy as the initial pitch.
