Sierra Designs Meteor Light 2 Person Camping Tent

One of the most copied tents in history, the Meteor Light is the only shelter ever to win the Backpacker "Editors' Choice Gold" award, way back in 2001. A mainstay in our line for two decades, the editors at Backpacker recognized its utilitarian function and design. We nail the details in our tents, which account for the buzz about 'em. For example, the pole sleeves start high on the Meteor Light, meaning you can stake out the tent first, then slot the poles. The next time you build camp in a windstorm you'll be thankful we thought ahead. The Meteor Light's also great for tall customers, with a peak height of 43 inches and a sturdy, three-pole design. Efficient, economical, and comfortable, the Meteor Light is still a standard-bearer for us.

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.
