My daughter recieved a Kelty Mantra 5 from Santa three years ago. She's 8 now, and for the past three years she's really enjoyed camping out! The Mantra 5 is exceptionally well designed, has many special features, and is a very high quality tent. It has never leaked a single drop of water, despite camping in blowing rains, even snow! We've camped in the mountains of North Carolina, at the coast of North Carolina, and in the Florida Keys. The tent is absolutely the best! The Mantra 5 has a very strong, aircraft type frame, formed by three multi-sectioned aluminum tubes. The tent has a space ship like profile, which allows for the wind to pass by, rather than take the tent with it! The tent fly covers the tent body, thus keeping condensation from getting inside the tent body. The tent has two doors, with a vestibule outside each door. The vestibules are located between the tent fly and the tent body. These are handy for storage! Ventilation between the tent fly and tent body is significant, due to large panels of screen mesh in the tent body. The tent fly has vents too, which allow for the tent to stay much cooler on hot days! The "bucket" type floor is designed to keep water out, and it does! Inside the tent body there are four large storage pockets, which are built into the walls. The tent is $200 or more, and well worth it! If you're going to buy a tent look at a Kelty!

Here are the product descriptions from the internet stores that we found selling Kelty Mantra Tent 5-Person 3-Season
BobWards.com:
Take camping to the next level in this luxury tent with spacious interior and open dome design for star gazing or afternoon napping under the sun.
BackCountry.com:
Trailheads are more comfortable than home with the Keltys 5-Person, 3-Season Mantra 5 Tent. Unlike lesser family tents, the Mantra uses high quality DAC aluminum poles and a mix of clip and sleeve construction, for a mix of toughness and ventilation in wind and weather for years to come. You dont buy a Mantra for the weekend, you buy one of these collapsible mansions for life. Double doors, each with noiseless zipper pulls and individual vestibules, let everyone do their nighttime business without disturbing the rest of the tent. Taped floor seams mean the Mantra can literally be sitting in a couple inches of water and nobody inside will notice. The Mantras poles and clips are color-coded so you arent standing at the campsite scratching your head, and thoughtful details like the interior organizer wall give a level of polish seldom seen in a car camping tent. If youre camping with a big group, or just want a lot of space, the Mantra should be the first tent you grab for.
