Sierra Designs Delta Tent - 2-Person, 3-Season

First use in car camping on fine gravel plot went well. Did fine in moderate rain overnight.

Not very large very comfortable for 2 people only. Very light weight.

Don't get me wrong, this is an awesome tent. Its very easy to set up and very functional. I've used it for car camping and have 0 complaints. It's advertised as being a light weight backpacking tent though, and it's definitely not. I used it this past weekend on a mountaineering trip and I split the fly, tent, stakes, and poles up between a buddy and myself to make it work. Not so bad once we did that, but way too heavy/bulky for 1 person.

I bought this tent for use in my job with the Forest Service in Wyoming. We set up base camps when doing certain projects or in fire camps. I would use it for shorter backpacking trips as well. This tent held up well and was quick and easy to set up and take down. This is nice after a long arduous day, then early rise. I am a big guy and it is very comfortable. My feet don't touch the end where in most tents they do and therefore cause moisture to come in through the wall (I'm 6'3"). I also used it in Edisto SC where the nights produced very heavy dew. There was no condensation inside at all. Great tent!

I use this tent for motorcycle camping trips. The small stuff size is a real plus. It's a bit heavy, but for my use, that's OK. It seems to be well made, it was easy to set-up, and I really liked having 2 openings...one on each side...no more crawling over the other person to exit the tent. Lastly, I think it was a great buy for the money...thanks S.T.P.!!
