Sierra Designs Alpha Tent

Home Camping & Hiking: Backpacking and Mountaineering -- 2-3 Person: 3-4-Season Convertible

« Item   Item » Sierra Designs Alpha Tent Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only. Clip-Locs™ at intersecting poles sections increase structural strength by 60% without losing flexibility or adding weight. Converts to 3-season use with removable ceiling and door panels and removable pole sections. DAC Featherlite SL poles are stronger and weigh less due to extruded construction and the elimination of insert connections. Exclusive Inter-Locs attach rainfly guy points to tent canopy, creating an integrated guy system that increases the tent's strength. Fastpack option allows poles, rainfly and footprint (sold separately) to be used together without the tent body to create an ultra-light shelter. Features one large vestibule, two removable Stash Doors™ and DAC Featherlite® SL poles. Full-coverage rainfly features a vent to allow airflow, even in bad weather. Huge mesh ceiling and door panels provide excellent ventilation and allow stargazing in clear weather. Includes stuff sacks, stakes and guylines. Integral vestibule features a clear vinyl window with taped seams and provides gear storage space protected from the elements. Interior mesh pockets are waterproof against the sidewalls; your stuff stays dry and visible. Non-wicking stake loops and fly attachments eliminate the possibility of wicking water into tent. Reflective guy-out loops enhance low-light visibility; noiseless zipper pulls eliminate that annoying jingle when it's windy. Removable stash doors can be left at home to save weight and space; they can also be stashed in internal mesh pockets. Sewn-in floor stays taut to provide maximum usable space; heavy-duty polyurethane coating and factory-taped main seam keep out water. Steep sidewalls shed snow and rain, making this tent a reliable choice for mountaineering and backpacking. This freestanding, three-person tent easily converts from a 4-season mountaineering shelter to a 3-season backpacking oasis. More info + price
