Ideal all-round wild camping tent
Sierra Designs’ award-winning two-person backpacking tent just got an upgrade. Optimised for wet weather, it now features a full coverage fly sheet with upgraded waterproofing of 3,000 mm Hydrostatic Head. It also comes in a dark forest green, making it even better suited to stealthy wild camps in UK hills and mountains. The design still offers the same generous interior space at a minimum weight, and with an affordable price tag too. Weighing in at just over 2 kg and with a competitive pack size, it features vertical side walls to max out interior dimensions and headroom, plus 2 doors and 2 vestibules for easy entry/exit and ample gear storage. Plus, if you do get a clear, dry night, the stargazer fly rolls back for panoramic views – making this one of the most versatile three-season shelters around.

Maybe it’s no wonder that the state of California has been the cradle for so many great American outdoor brands. Sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Nevada mountains, and encompassing no less than nine US National Parks, the Golden State has long been a mecca for outdoor adventurers of every ilk. Sierra Designs is a case in point. California was the natural place for the brand’s co-founders, a pair of young outdoor aficionados named George Marks and Bob Swanson, to set up shop.
They first met in late 1963 at while working at The Ski Hut in Berkeley, CA. Two years later, Sierra Designs was born. Today, the brand continues to create outdoor equipment and apparel that is functional, beautiful, and most importantly, attainable, enabling outdoor lovers throughout the USA and beyond to hit the trail and fill their souls with a sense of wanderlust.
