Sierra Designs Asp 2 Person Camping Tent

Check out the Asp's vestibule and you'll see where we got the name: from the front, the vestibule poles give it the appearance of a pit viper, just like the Asp of ancient Egypt. The vestibule poles dramatically increase usable space while you're coming, going, or sorting gear. Pitching the tent is a breeze, with the easy-to-use Quick Pitch Swivel Hub, the poles are pre-threaded through it, so you simply unfurl the poles and the tent body pulls up to the poles with our new RCT Swift Clips. The additional vestibule poles increase usable space and the double-slider zipper track in the vestibule means you can pitch it like an awning with trekking poles, or enter and exit while sheltered from wind or blowing rain. Reverse Combi Technology increases interior space, while the same feature-rich set of details make the Asp comfortable, efficient, and durable

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)

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

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

Raised, taped, perimeter seam provides guaranteed waterproofness

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.
