Sierra Designs Electron RC 2 Person (With Access) Camping Tent

We married two of our favorite tents, the Electron and the Reverse Combi. The Electron RC 2 upgrades with our Spider Hub that keeps all poles (main and ridge) locked in place. Reverse Combi Technology steepens the wall and expands usable interior volume. Two doors and two vestibules (14 and 10 square feet) house gear-loaded backpackers with room to spare. The Electron RC also comes with a free Accessory Package ($60 retail value).

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

Swift Clips

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

 

S-Stopper with H-Clip

An innovative way to tension the ridgepole and body while keeping the pole safely out of the way

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)

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

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

Reverse Combi Technology

An award winning variable pole diameter system creates close to 50% more livable space

Thicker diameter pole sections are used in the center where strength and stability are needed most

Thinner diameter pre-bent pole sections are used on the ends, creating steeper walls for more livable space than a typical X-tent

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.
