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

  • Whether backpacking, touring or traveling, Sierra Designs Lightening tent will feel like home
  • Light yet strong DAC Featherlite® NSL poles use an anodization process that is gentler on the environment than conventional methods
  • Sierra Designs Lightening also shaves weight by using ultralight guyouts, stake loops and vestibule tensioners
  • Two-pole design with Swift Clips™ is easy to set up; Cam-Locs™ lock poles in place for increased strength without added weight
  • Mesh panels around the tent allow good ventilation to prevent interior condensation
  • Features an integral vestibule to provide gear storage out of the weather
  • SuperSeal Floor™ combines the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors; raised side seams are taped for complete waterproofness
  • PVC-free seam tape reduces the environmental impact of manufacturing this tent
  • Tent Guard with Ultra-Fresh™ treatment thwarts the growth of odor-causing mold, fungus and mildew to extend the tent's life
  • Color-coded webbing and locking pole tips make pitching this tent easier than making your bed!
  • Reflective guyout loops allow night visibility; reflective noiseless zipper pulls are easy to see and eliminate that annoying jingle when it's windy
  • Dye-Free Optic White™ canopy brightens up the interior living environment
  • A multitude of gear pockets keep gear organized and up off the floor
  • In mild weather, fastpack option lets you set up just the rainfly and poles over the footprint (sold separately) for a very lightweight shelter
  • Fastpack weight: 2 lbs. 7 oz.
  • Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only

Imported.
