This freestanding backpacking tent for two now features Arch Support Technology, DAC Featherlite® poles and Stash Door™
Arch Support Technology (AST) enhances tent's ability to withstand high winds by bracing poles low to the ground, increasing strength by at least 40%
DAC Featherlite poles improve strength-to-weight ratio; Clip-Locs™ at pole intersections increase strength and stability in windy conditions
Door features a circular zipper track that allows opening from the side or bottom; then stash it in an internal mesh pocket and it's out of the way
Rainfly with integral vestibule provides space for gear and features a clear polyurethane seam-taped window to let in the view as well as more light
Mesh panels on door, sides and ceiling provide ample flow-through ventilation to prevent condensation
Stake loops and rainfly attachments are non-wicking material, eliminating the possibility of wicking water into tent
Interior pockets are waterproof towards outside of sidewall and mesh inside: your stuff stays dry and visible
Semi-rectangular floor design and arching side poles provide a spacious tent with increased headroom; steep sidewalls shed rain and wind
Sewn-in floor stays taut to provide maximum usable space; heavy-duty polyurethane-coated floor with factory-taped main seam keeps out water
Treated with Tent Guard with Ultra-Fresh to help prevent the growth of odor-causing fungus and mildew to extend tent's life; a SD exclusive!
Comes with stakes, guylines and stuff sacks
Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only
In mild weather, Sierra Designs' Fastpack Footprint (sold separately) gives you the option of setting up the poles and rainfly only over the footprint for a very lightweight, simple shelter. Fastpack weight: 3 lbs. 9 oz.. Imported.

Untitled ReviewFits two with ease, great ventilation, vestibule is adequate. When guyed out the thing is like a rock! Very light, packs in at about 5 pounds (a bit more with the footprint). It also packs down real tight. I have yet to try the fastpack option, but will look into it next season.
