Low weight and a super-small package make this tent ideal for 3-season cycling, hiking and paddling trips—and it's comfortable for those up to 6 ft. 6 in.!

  • This solo tent features strong, lightweight DAC Featherlite® NSL poles which use an anodization process that is easier on the environment than conventional methods
  • Rainfly features an integral vestibule to provide gear storage out of the weather; made from lightweight polyurethane-/silicone-coated ripstop nylon
  • Non-rotating elbow connectors strengthen the tent without adding weight; H-Clips™ at elbow connectors make easy work of attaching the tent body
  • Ultralight Clips™ and color-coded main door/rainfly speed the setup process as well
  • DAC Jake's Feet™ at tent corners allow easy attachment of poles, fly and footprint (sold separately) and offer a secure connection; release them with a simple twist
  • SuperSeal Floor™ combines the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors; raised side seams use PVC-free seam tape for complete waterproofness
  • No-see-um mesh canopy walls allow good ventilation, preventing interior condensation
  • Comes with stakes, guylines and stuff sacks
  • Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only

Imported.

Comments about Sierra Designs Light Year 1Tent:

I have used this twice now over two weekends with downpouring rain! However the tent stayed completely dry! Unfortunately with the rain fly on there is a bit of condensation but I am willing to deal with that.

Sets up really fast. I haven't used the footprint yet though I own that too so I can't comment. At my size of 6 feet and 225 this is the right size for me!

I would buy a second one if i really wanted one!

  • Gift:

  • What Is Your Gear Style:
