For your reference, this page contains historical product information.

Sierra Designs has created this two-person, freestanding tent from the lightest materials available--its trail weight is less than two lbs. per person

  • Whether backpacking, touring or traveling, the Sierra Designs® Lightening tent will feel like home.
  • DAC Featherlite® NSL poles are the latest iteration from DAC and have an even greater strength-to-weight ratio than their other Featherlite poles
  • Specially designed pre-bent pole sections maximize livable space without adding weight
  • Nylon ripstop rainfly has a dual coating for waterproofness and excellent UV protection: silicone on the outside and polyurethane on the inside
  • Two-pole design with Swift Clips™ for easy setup; Clip-Locs™ lock poles in place, increasing strength by 60% without adding weight
  • Mesh panels around the tent allow good ventilation in hot weather
  • Features an integrated vestibule for storing gear out of the weather
  • Stash Doors™ can be opened from the side or bottom and stashed out of the way in internal pockets
  • SuperSeal Floor™ combines the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors; raised side seams are taped for complete waterproofness
  • Treated with Tent Guard with Ultra-Fresh™ to help prevent the growth of odor-causing fungus and mildew—a Sierra Designs exclusive!!
  • Color-coded webbing makes pitching this tent easier than making your bed!
  • Reflective guyout loops enhance night visibility; reflective noiseless zipper pulls are easily seen in the dark and eliminate annoying jingling sounds when the wind blows
  • Optic white tent canopy offers increased light transmission for a brighter living space
  • In mild weather, set up just the rainfly and poles over the footprint (sold separately) for a very lightweight shelter; weighs just 2 lbs. 7 oz.
  • Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only

Imported.
