Overview

Not a bright, sunlit dome, the Kelty Daydreamer uses blackout fabric that blocks sunlight, streetlights and campfire glow. A gear loft spreads headlamp light evenly across the tent, and quick corner sleeves speed the two-pole pitch.

Darkness on demand helps families with nappers and campers who sleep late. The heavy build and fiberglass poles keep it at the car.

Who it's for

Car campers with kids, shift workers and late sleepers who want darkness at any hour. Backpackers will find it far too heavy.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Blackout fabric for daytime sleep
  • Standing height interior
  • Gear loft diffuses headlamp light
  • Large vestibule for gear
Cons
  • Weight listed three ways

Performance notes

The coated fabric blocks light, which also cuts heat gain from the sun on still afternoons. Setup speed comes from pole sleeves at each corner, while the dome shape and guylines govern wind stability.
