      This is a great tent for the price. I was shocked at how light it is and easy to set up. I took my wife backpacking (first time camping ever) and she set the tent up by herself...

      Comments about REI Sierra Dome 2 Tent - Special Buy:

      This tent is light and seems to be well made. I like the size and 1 door. It does not have footprint and when I call I'am told there is none, so I ordered half dome 2 foofprint and it works fine. I Set it up in the back yard to check it out and it rains, and it leak's ! So I go to store and was told I did buy this tent at REI. I tell him I got it on line and he looks confused. I told him It leaks at seams (I think it come in at guyline loops) and he gives me tent repair tape and tells me to tape all seams with it, Now I look confused! I buy seam sealer(no repair tape) and tent waterproof and $25.00 Buckaroos later I go home, and spray tent and seal seams. I have used the tent twice, but no rain? Still wondering if it will keep out water? if it does not I will take it back for refund. Staytuned

        I just got back from using this tent on a five day trip. It handled rain, wind, and dust storms well. The only downside is that it is a pretty warm tent even with the fly off. Other than that it is a great product! Make sure to get a footprint, it doesn't come with one.

        Comments about REI Sierra Dome 2 Tent - Special Buy:

        I needed to replace an old Kelty Zen that was no longer waterproof and I wanted a roomy tent to use for car camping. The Sierra Dome was inexpensive and a good choice for me. I recently took it on a climbing trip to Colorado and it saw a lot of rain. It did a good job. I would never backpack this tent. As opposed to others, I found it rather difficult to put up. With an REI footprint that fit this tent, and the [$] discount, the whole thing was less than $100. Not bad!

        Comments about REI Sierra Dome 2 Tent - Special Buy:

        I just picked this tent up and really like it. The Half Dome 2 HC Footprint http://www.rei.com/product/728309 works perfectly with this tent. It also allows you to use the footprint, poles and fly for a minimalist shelter. The full fly does hit the side of the tent if you do not use the guy lines. I am 6'2" and with a sleeping pad and bag, my feet and head usually hit the side of a smaller tent. That is NOT the case with this tent. It is perfect for a taller person and their gear.
        It has minimal screening, making it a very warm tent in the summer, but I purchased this to be my fall and winter tent. I have not used it yet in the winter but look forward to doing so. I have not had it in the rain yet so I can neither confirm nor deny the leaking issue report by other people.
        It is very easy for one person to set up and take down. The stuff bag has enough room for the all the hardware, tent, fly and footprint.
        I camp on a monthly basis and will update with any new discoveries.

          haven't used it in the rain, so cannot speak to that. Otherwise, it is great! Quick easy set up, and light weight. Side entrance may be easier than front though. Will use for both car camping and hiking. Would definitely recommend.
