A fine tent for two, the light color makes it feel roomy when inside. I bought this tent 5 years ago as the Creek Side model with two anondized aluminum poles. The tent is relatively light weight, packs small and is weather tight. The first ime i used this tent we had a severe squall line go throgh our area with wind in excess of 50 mph. The tent and fly held tight and both my gear and I stayed dry.

We purchased a Kelty Riverbend 3 approximately one year ago. We've used it several times, including nights reaching high 70's, down to 25 degrees and sleeting. It was well ventilated during the summer and when sealed up, retained heat well. Due to it's unique design, it provides ample room for lovemaking. :) But seriously, it is very roomy. Extremely easy to set up and take down. It's also withstood severe thunderstorms of 35+ mph winds and three days of solid rain. NO LEAKS. Highly recommended.

I got the riverbend 4 on sale for $185- down from $230-something so right away the value was a good one. Roomy and SUPER easy to set up. Seams and bathtub floor looks mighty waterproof, but being from SoCal I doubt it'll seriously be tested anytime soon. Fabric took some serious stress during a windy joshua tree excursion, but held up with nary a burst seam anywhere. Great tent for Taj Mahal roominess with 2, slighty less space for 3, but still competnet.

This is a great tent, easy to put up and take down. Stores easily in the stuff sack. Light enough to take on a back packing trip if you share the load. Sufficient room for two adults and gear. I especially like the ground cloth that can be purchased separately. The tent performs well in wet weather. The tent is well made and I expect that it will last a long time.

Very nice tent for the money, light, strong, easy to put up and extremely water tight.

Excellent service as always.

I recently procured this tent after returning my Kelty Zen (due to the fact it wasn't a free-standing model) and have used it twice. Once indoors in the middle of my living room and once outdoors in a middle of a field. The tent sets up swift (color coded reflective webbing and two equal length aluminum poles) and tight. I particularly enjoy the open ceiling feature for those warm nights of stargazing. A great value at $165!

I bought this, my first tent, for about $160 and have used it twice. Both were downpours and had no leaking problems. The tent sets up quickly and there's plenty of room inside. I wish the vestibule was a little larger.

I bought this tent for car camping. (Riverbend 4) Tent is excellent for the price. Sets up quick. Is very waterproof. This is really a 2 person tent that is a little longer. My medium sized dog fits very cumfy with us at the foot of the tent.

HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS TENT AND FOUND IT TO BE MORE THAN ADEQUATE. IT SETS UP FAST AND TIGHT. PLENTY OF VENTILATION, NICE ADDITION OF STARGAZING MESH ABOVE. SETS UP IN A MATTER OF MINUTES WITH COLOR CODED SNAPS. A GOOD BACKPACKING TENT OF HIGH QUALITY.

Havent used it in the rain, but despite its mesh, was a fairly warm tent on 40F night. Decent amount of room for two (riverbend 2). wish there was somewhere to hang a light! Minor issue, but noplace to hook on to anywhere inside the tent.
