Exped Sirius Extreme Tent - 2-Person 4-Season

The Exped Sirius Extreme 2-Person 4-Season Tent's unique configuration and silicone-coated nylon fly shaves weight, increases strength in heavy winds, and makes this tent very fast and easy to set up, even in bad weather. Poles on the Sirius tent go through sleeves on the fly instead of the body. The body of the tent comes pre-connected, so when you pitch the fly, it sets up the tent as well. By putting the support on the outermost layer of the tent, Exped built this tent to be incredibly stable in the wind, which makes it an excellent choice for mountaineering and alpine climbing. This Backpacker Magazine Editor's Choice winner also has a 16-square-foot vestibule and enough floor space to cram in three people if necessary. At lower elevations, leave the body behind to save weight, and pitch the fly by itself. Or, you can pitch the tent body alone on a warm day and enjoy the breeze through mesh windows.

Bottom Line: Think outside the dome with the fast-to-pitch, ultra-strong Exped Sirius Extreme 2-person 4-season tent.

This tent exceeded our expectations in performance - we backpacked in the Canadian Rockies in spring and had to pitch in heavy wet snow. Two people and one wet dog soon had moisture running down the walls but as soon as we opened the vents it ventilated beautifully and we stayed dry all night. Initial set-up did not go well - we were used to a freestanding tent and it took putting this up a few times in the backyard to get it right. It doesn't come with any set-up instructions and there weren't any on the Exped website. The body of the tent is suspended from the fly so you have to get the fly tightened onto the poles first or nothing else fits properly. Pitching only takes a few minutes but I would encourage anyone using this tent for the first time to practice before taking it into the back country. I gave this tent 5 stars in spite of the initial problems with setting it up because it performs so well. It is lightweight and roomy and yes, easy to set-up!
