This is my first Sierra Designs purchase and I am so happy with my choice. I bought the 3 person because my husband likes a little more space being a tall guy. I just came back from backpacking the Georgia section of the AT with a friend of mine and this tent was such a pleasure!!! We are small girls so we didn't put our bags outside like I will do when I stay in this tent with my hubby and we had so much space even with our monster packs inside!!! There were very cold nights, a hot night and even a rainy night and this tent really did it for me. There was perfect air flow never feeling like the air was stagnant which is super important to my husband and I. It held up quite well and seems pretty durable however I did see a little area on the netting on the door from opening the zipper that looks a little pulled and hopefully that will not create a hole. Super happy with my purchase and I will be going to the Boundry Waters in late August for another trip so we shall see how it holds up for that!! But so far love it!!!
This tent is the best I have ever used. It is compact and easy to erect. It took less than 5 minutes, start to finish, the first time I put it up. Plenty of room for my wife and me and all of our gear.
