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

great little tent!! very light and easy to pack up. the fly zipper is difficult to open from inside, gets caught on the fabric. couldn't believe how light my pack was!!!!!!

Went on three day trek in the AT and used this tent (just bought it), had no problems with it. It was easy to set up, and we even got a few inches of snow and it held up fine to that as well!!!

I backpack by myself and this tent is very easy to set up and it's light weight

Took this on a self-contained bicycle trip. Coped with a terrible wind/rain storm. Tent did well. Room inside for four panniers and me. Recommend seam tape sealing the fly just in case.

Sierra Designs has always made phenomenal tents and this one is no exception. Somehow they have made it extremely light, and yet roomy and comfortable, with no scrimpy on details. As an often solo adventurer, it is nice to have a real tent, as opposed to the coffin-like sacks that pass for single person tents. Also, the best products I own have been "Backpacker Magazine Editor's Award" which this one won in 2004. Don't worry, it is not dated in the lease.

Tent is well made. Seams are good, no real quality issues. very light, especially if you just use the footprint. I have had this tent in hot weather, cold (cold for Texas) weather, dry and wet, and I have never had a problem. I had this tent in 60 mph wind gusts, and it held up extremely well. During that wind storm, the neighboring tent poles shattered (collapsing on my friends...kinda funny actually)....just make sure you have the stakes securely in the ground and you shouldn't have a problem. I have had this tent in torential rain for hours and it has not leaked. The only issue I have had was a small amount of moisture (condensation) in the morning on 2 occasions....I think a tarp or maybe the footprint might help out....will try on this months trip. I guess there is one more thing, it is a little small, I wish it was about 3" longer. Overall, a great tent, worth every penny.

I will be using this next week for the first time. I set it up in my living room and loved it and really looking forward to using it. I think it will be a great tent for years to come. Love the design.

i take this tent anywhere, even in winter. a gearloft would be nice though.

grrreat tent. i feel a little funny to mention it, but it is a little short if you are over 5'11". quick set-up, light, attractive, packs small, no condensation......buy it!

A friend recommended the tent to me.I could not have been more pleased. Light weight and easy to pack. Set up is a breeze. Stayed warm and dry even in the worst of rain storms.Lots of room for back pack and room to move easily while changing. would recommend to any hiking enthusiast.
