Sierra Designs Light Year Tent

It is tight quarters, but that is to be expected in a light solo tent. Dose all that it supposed to do.

I bought this tent for solo backpacking trips in the Sierras (mostly for bugs and thundershowers). I'm 6'4" tall and have enough room for me and minimal gear (pack stays outside, but then I use an external frame pack). It is very light for one person (I replaced the stakes with titanium stakes to cut even more weight). I use a piece of tyvek under the tent to help protect the floor. All in all I got a great deal on this tent and think it will serve me well for solo trips or my son who is in Scouts.

Nice tent. no complaints here. i was torn because it was not freestanding, but it was so easy to set up. Sturdy. no condensation on a couple of cool north east rainy nights. Light. small. good deal all around.

Haven't used on a hike yet but I set it up in a couple of minutes (without reading the directions) with no problem. The vestibule is a bit small to keep a pack dry. I'm 5'6" and have plenty of room to stretch out. I am a mosquito magnet so I like a full tent instead of a tarp. Can't beat the weight for a tent. My only concern is the ventilation when the fly is installed.

FITS ME AND MY 60 LB. TRAIL DOG COMFORTABLY. GOOD DEAL ON 3 SEASON 1 PERSON. WOULD LIKE TO TRY THE FASTPACK FOOTPRINT TO SHED WEIGHT IN MILD WEATHER EXCEPT FOR ANTS, SCORPIONS, AND RATTLESNAKES IN AZ. HAVEN'T TRIED IN RAIN OR SNOW YET . . .

Very good quality I have come to expect from SD. Easy to set up, even in limited visibility conditions. Packs down small and light. Only downside is limited room for large individual. I guess that's the trade-off for light weight small package.

This tent is great the only down fall is the condensation build up. I have had mine in the mountains and the desert and it has held up great 3 years runnin. Holds up Great in the wind.

room for tall people.and gear too.smaller vestibule for smaller pack and boots and some room for gear in tent.double wall but not free standing.About the best double wall one man tent available.
