Sierra Designs Vapor Light 2 Tent 2-Person 3-Season

Item #SDS0357 | 1 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Super Light, Waterproof, 1.5 Person Tent

By Ranked #1130 - 3-Season Tents May 27, 2009

I used this at 7,000 feet in late spring over a rainy night with no wind. In the morning there was minimal condensation, but absolutely no water beads or drips. After you set up the tent once, it takes literally less than 2 minutes to set everything up by your self. It has great features like the Jakes Foot, which is a ball and socket joint where the poles connect to the tent; making it free standing. The rain-fly snaps on to the feet of the tent. The tent is super light. The foot print is pretty much just a straight forward super light weight tarp, though I did not use it, and I was just fine. There are down sides though. The sack is abnormally large for what goes in it. The steaks are next to pointless as they are tiny and very skinny. The worst part about the tent is its floor space size at 25 sq ft. This only fits two small people (under 5-10 ft, under150 lbs) shoulder to shoulder, so they must really like each other and have mummy shaped pads. Otherwise it fits 1 normal sized person and a child or dog. If you want light weight with roominess, I would go with similar weight tents made by other companies with floor spaces 28 sq ft to 33 sq ft.
