Sierra Designs ASP Ultralight Tent - 2-Person, 3-Season

This is the 2nd Sierra Designs tent I've owned. Decided to go smaller, lighter this time around. Size is a little small but you can't beat 5 lbs. and only 2 poles. Set up was simple. Tent is mostly mesh so when fly is open you really feel the breeze! So for a smaller tent it doesn't feel claustrophobic. Solid construction.

I took this on a two week motorcycle trip and had absolutely no problems. It rained frequently and the tent stayed dry. During one real toad-strangler in the Smokies it stood up well both to the rain and the wind. The size is just right for one motorcyclist and his or her gear (helmet, jacket, boots). It is relatively easy to set up. The stakes are barely adequate but are easily replaceable with a sturdier type. The best tent I have ever owned.

Light and small package. Set-up is super simple. Difficult to get fly tight, but vestibules are good size. Quirky zipper placement on main door.

I set this up for the first time in the dark of night with no moon. It is so intuitive that it took no effort what so ever. In the morning I checked the directions just to make sure and all was well...I recommend the footprint and a pad.

I purchased this tent as a lightweight tent for recreactional backpacking. Too early to evaluate its performance as it is winter and our next trip is not until Spring. Purchase decision in part for low wt and easy setup, also because of the vestibule/fly that should kep our boots from getting wet from dew in the morning or occasional rain.
