Sierra Designs Zeta 3 Tent 3-Person 3-Season
So Spacious

I have just recently become exposed to the Zeta 3's, and may I say they are one of the best larger pack tents I have dealt with. The pole design threw my group and I for a loop the first time we used it, we almost took a half hour to set it up! The problem was that the poles are attached at 2 points permenantley, making a sort of H shape. Then the extra pole snaps onto the back of the H, creating a kinda tic-tac-toe pattern without the two bottom vertical poles sticking out. But once you get the hang of it, setup is a snap and you have shelter in no time flat. The resulting set-up makes for a wonderfully spacious interior, almost cube like in shape. The two doors are great, and the vestibule is huge! the fly door has two zippers so it can easily be rolled up, same with the rear door, which has one zipper. The tent is almost all mesh, allowing for refreshing breezes to come through on hot, muggy nights.
