A bivy can reduce packed volume but changes entry, ventilation and gear-storage tradeoffs.
How to use this answer
Decide based on weather exposure and room needed to sit or change clothing. This separates a useful measurement from a broad product label and helps identify which exact variant needs further checking.
Decision boundary
The listed values describe a product under its stated source conditions. They do not establish personal comfort, safety, stock, or fit in every shelter.
Tent labels and geometry
A capacity label counts sleeping spots, while a real setup also needs gear space, wall clearance and a path to a door. Use floor dimensions from the exact variant; maximum width alone is never a complete fit test. Weight definitions likewise vary: minimum and packaged weight are separate measurements.
For this question, check: Tent floor shape, narrowest width, shelter structure and complete carried weight. When a particular specification is absent, keep the decision open rather than treating a missing value as zero or assuming a universal fit.
Compare actual recorded values
The values below come from exact catalog variants. The table is an illustration of which measurements to compare, not a ranking or a recommendation. Open each card for the field source and revision notes.
| Exact variant | Capacity | Max width | Packed weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kelty Grand Mesa 4P — 4 person | 4 | 80.0 in (203 cm) | 7.43 lb (3,370 g) |
| Kelty Late Start 2P — 2 person | 2 | 54.0 in (137 cm) | 4.63 lb (2,100 g) |
| NEMO Hornet OSMO — 1 person | 1 | 39.0 in (99 cm) | 2.20 lb (1,000 g) |
These records illustrate how the reported measurements and source links are presented; they are not personal field tests or ranked recommendations.
Before you rely on a number
Recheck manufacturer instructions and the exact year, size and SKU. The October 30, 2026 dataset does not verify real-time inventory, sale prices, field performance or a guaranteed safe temperature. If the key measurement for this question is unavailable, ask the maker or measure your own equipment before committing to a setup.
