Sierra Designs Lightning XT 2 Tent 2-Person 3-Season
Roomiest Lightweight Tent

Ranked #6 - 3-Season Tents
April 20, 2009
With the new split pole design of this tent, not only do you save weight but it also creates a ton of space inside the tent by making the walls very vertical. We're talking about 30 square feet of interior space! If that wasn't enough, Sierra Designs had the environment in mind by using DAC Featherlite NSL poles which use an anodizing process that dramatically reduces the use of phosphoric and nitric acids (cleaner manufacturing makes a cleaner environment). Set up of the tent is a snap with the new Jakes foot corner connections for the poles. The poles actually snap into a corner piece that includes clip on points for the footprint and rain fly. This is my new go to tent for backpacking trips with my wife.
