Sierra Designs Sirius 3 - 3-Person 3-Season Tent
A family of four?

December 10, 2008
I have taken this tent backpacking to the Washington coast (Olympic National Park, 7 miles round trip) and canoe camping on Leigh Lake at Grand Teton National Park with my wife and two kids (3 and 5). It's a manageable weight, it's snug but with two doors and a small vestibule on each side, comfortable. We really do all fit inside... I'm 5'8", my wife is 5'6" and the kids are.... kids! It is not a four season tent but it has withstood a couple of rain storms and some 25 mile per hour winds (with rain) in the Tetons, and we all stayed dry warm & happy. If you have a small family and want to go backpacking, this tent needs to be on your short list.
