Ranked #647 - 3-Season Tents
October 27, 2004
I am very happy with my Sierra Designs Lightning. The very first time I used it, I was not very careful about where I set camp. I awoke after a decent night's rain to find my tent in what can only be described as a very large puddle or very small lake. There was not a drop of water in the tent and the floor was acting like a water bed. I expect a lot out of my gear, but minimizing the effects of my stupidity earns the Lightning high marks in my book.
