Sierra Designs Omega Dome Tent - 2-Person, 3-Season

I used it as a shelter of choice during summer and rainy season. Everything is great particularly in design and ease of set up. Weight to size ratio is acceptable. I wound like to suggest a stuff sack with compression straps and luminous guy lines. I can't believe this tent was on sale for only[$]. My other tents are TNF Mountain24, Tadpole 23 and BA Seedhouse 2 tent.

I might review again after a backpacking trip, but so far, the tent seems sturdy and light, and easy to set up. I think I will seal the floor seam before I take it out in wet weather, as suggested by the manufacturer.

I used this tent to camp out in Death Valley. It performed well until a huge wind storm picked up. The door of the tent only has a screen and relies on the fly to keep out rain and/or sand. The decription does not indicate this feature. By the end of the wind storm my tent was full of sand blowing up underneath the fly. I bought this tent specifically for these conditions and am a little disappointed that I will have to figure out how to keep the sand out of my tent in the future. Otherwise the tent perfomed beautifully-standing up to the 30-40 mph winds.

This tent is well designed, durable, and sturdy. It is also spacious and efficiently laid out, for the weight. The tent is a 3-season version of 3/4 season convertible tents, at much less weight. It shares features with the 4-season tents, like a rip-stop body, 4-guyline loops on the fly, and a fairly large vestibule. The 3-pole design makes this tent VERY sturdy. My complaints about the tent include the fact that they didn't put loops around the base of the fly, for tying out. I'm going to have mine modified, but this is essential for when it rains. As the material gets wet it will sag and touch the body of the tent, especially considering how much distance there is between poles on some sections of the fly. Also, the tie/wrap clips that are used at the pole intersections are really obnoxious and are overkill. These could have been simplified at a weight and convenience savings. Single door: Bad news. I knew this going in, so it's not fair to knock it, but this tent could easily have had two doors, with the pole layout. Otherwise, Sierra Designs has unbeatable construction and quality. Hard to beat it. I'd still recommend it, despite my complaints.

This is my first tent. So I can't make a fair estimation. So...I only can say it is quite pretty tent, and easy to set up, and little bit heavy. anyways it is nice tent!
