Reviews: Kelty Mantra 7 Footprint
Well made!
We haven't used the tent or the footprint exclusively yet, but we took it out for a weekend on the windward side of Hawaii, where wind and sand abound. It feels and looks to be of high quality, and we had absolutely no problems with it. We are completely satisfied with the Mantra 7 and its footprint!
get one!
It's a lot easier to clean mud off of a footprint than the bottom of your tent. The protection from objects you might have missed when setting up your tent or that poke out of ground after setup are well worth it.
Kelty Footprint - Mantra 7
While the footprint provided outstanding ground coverage and kept us dry through a rain storm that caused a puddle underneath the tent, it was rather confusing at first. Our Mantra tent is new to us this year. Figuring out how the footprint should be attached to the tent was a challenge WITHOUT any instructions. We still don't know whether the foot print should be staked out or not. If so, which makes sense since there are loops, no stakes were included with the purchase. That fact alone left doubt as to stake or not to stake. Attachment of the footprint to already full pole rings is a challenge too. With the rain fly clasps and thick aluminum poles, attaching the footprint is a difficult task. We are impressed with the performance, very disappointed in the logistics of use and lack of adequate instructions for use.
