Sierra Designs Velox 2 Person Camping Tent

Forty-two years of tent design pays off: the Velox 2 is a freestanding design with two doors and two vestibules, and all for a candy bar's weight over four pounds! Double vestibules and doors let users come and go as they please, without disturbing a sleeping tent mate. The Swift Clips and Quick Pitch Swivel Hub make set-up easy and the SuperSeal Floor keeps water where it belongs—outside!

Tent Apex Series Technology

Color Coded Webbing

Guides pole placement for speed and ease of set-up

Allows for quick orientation of rainfly set-up (color-coded on stake loops and on rainfly)

Constructed of durable, lightweight nylon

Dye-Free Optic White Canopy

Optic white canopies transmit light more effectively to give a brighter and more pleasant environment for long hours inside tent

Sierra Designs produces the Optic White Canopy™ without the use of chemical dyes

Quick Pitch Swivel Hub™ with H-Clip

The Quick Pitch Swivel Hub™ is updated with an increased angle of rotation, which helps reduce the possibility of pitching errors and aids in the speed of the pitch

The tent body features the new H-Clip™, which easily connects to the bottom of the hub to tension the peak of the tent

Swift Clips

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

Computer Aided Design

A Sierra Designs system of using Computer Aided Design to make technically superior tents

Allows us to design tents that have a uniform distribution of stress

Lightweight Fly Material

40-denier, 1.94oz/ High-Tenacity Nylon with a 246 thread count in a Rip-stop weave

Silicone coating provides additional lightweight, waterproofness and UV protection

1500mm waterproof Polyurethane under coating allows for seam taping and is durable and waterproof

100% waterproof to 80 PSI

UL Stake Loops and Vestibule Stake Out Tensioners

Lighter than webbing stake out loops

Made from 3mm, reflective, cord and color coded to the fly to ease set up

The ultralight line locks are small and compact yet cinch down fast and tight

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)

Reflective Door Binding Tape

By adding wide, reflective binding around the doors, our 4 Season tents provide extreme reflectivity in your head lamps during low visibility conditions

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

 

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.
