Sierra Designs Stretch Dome 3 Person Camping Tent

The Stretch Dome 3 is one of our strongest tents, withstanding high winds on peaks like Denali. It is roomy enough for three people and features double wall construction to keep condensation out of the tent.

DAC® Featherlite NSL Poles

Thicker diameter poles with a thinner wall increases strength and saves weight

Expanded insert combined with a large diameter pole creates a stronger connection point between pole sections

The best strength-to-weight ratio of any tent pole available today

Unique joining insert allows for a cleaner, smoother transition in Reverse Combi Technology™ (RCT)

DAC® has greatly reduced the use of phosphoric and nitric acid in the anodizing process (cleaner manufacturing makes for a cleaner environment)

Locking Pole Tips

Keeps pole tips locked in grommet for faster, easier set up

Extended pole tips can be found on all 4-Season tents as well as the Tengu 3 and Tengu 2

A Sierra Designs innovation

Swift Clips

A Sierra Designs innovation that allows the tent to be staked out before attaching the body to the pole structure

Wind Tunnel Testing

Allows strength testing under extreme wind conditions

Scientifically tested through the University of Washington Aeronautical Laboratory and an independent third party testing facility

 Sew-Free Windows

Utilizes bonded tape to create a stronger, lighter window than traditional sewn-and-sealed versions

Allows windows to be placed in the most optimal location on a tent fly

SuperSeal Floor

Combines benefits of catenary and bathtub floors

Raised, taped, perimeter seam provides guaranteed waterproofness

Maintains a tighter pitch with a better wind line to prevent flapping

Tent Guard with Ultra Fresh

We begin using Tent Guard with Ultra Fresh in 2004 (a Sierra Designs exclusive at the time!) and with great success. Applied as part of the PU coating to our rain flies, floors and footprints, Tent Guard extends the life of a tent by thwarting mold, mildew and fungus. Particularly on extended trips or in damp climates, Tent Guard protects a tent if it is packed or stored temporarily while wet — another bit of piece of mind for your customers.

Clip-Locs

Dynamically locks poles at their intersection

Adds 60% to the tent's strength

Patented and exclusive to Sierra Designs

Interlocs

Attaches the fly to the tent canopy at each guy-out point to create one integrated structure for added strength
