Sierra Designs Stretch Dome 3 Tent 3-Person 4 Season
Needs more Vestibule Space

This is a great tent for the most part. I really only use this tent for winter adventures and it holds up great to wind and snow even up at 15,000 feet and down to -20 F. It fits three medium sized people easily. The walls come up near vertical to give more head room which is nice when the weather keeps you inside. The poles are a bit light and it is possible to bend them out of shape durring set up. On some cold nights it can get a little condensation buildup on the walls but not to bad. The biggest problem I have with this tent is the small vestibule space. The front is adequate for putting on boots if you sit inside the tent with your feet hanging out the door into the vestibule. The back however hardly has enough room for three pairs of mountaineering boots with out stacking them. It would be nice if the footprint would come out into the vestibule space as well.
