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

My 11 year son or myself use this tent on outings. He can set it up by himself. During a rainy outing, we just unclip the tent from under the fly and pack it up nice and dry. At the next stop we reverse the procedure. After spending a week-end in a wet tent, a fellow scoutmaster purchased the same tent.

This product offers a solid shelter, which can sleep two average sized adults and two 80lb labs comfortably. It's light enough for backpacking but takes up a lot of pack space.

I use this tent for rafting, car-camping and occasionally backpacking w/ my 6 year old daughter. It's a hotel for 2, workable for 3. The setup takes me about one minute from start to finish. Summer nights are great for stargazing w/o a fly. It's heavier than an "ultralight" should be, but TOTALLY worth the weight. Love it.

This is a really nice tent. I bought it for comfortable car and short overnight hikes with 2 of my kids (9 and 4). It's totally the right size for this, comfortable, good headroom, nice design. Pack size and weight are spot on spec, maybe even a little lighter. My only critiques are the color of the fly is a little drab (that's a matter of personal preference of course), and that the tent could stand for a little more ventilation. If you stake out the fly tight, including the extra stakes, it helps a lot. Also the stakes provided are really HEAVY...worth investing in some lighter weight stakes.

I originally ordered the two place tent with a large deal flyer discount. I returned it in favor of the three place tent[...]
