Versatile tent that will front up to snow-bound winter camps
Winter adventures require plenty of commitment, and usually a load of specialist extra kit too. But the Sierra Designs Convert 3 is a versatile tent design that works well for three-season adventures as well as moderate four-season use. It sheds wind well and will withstand snow loading, yet is both lightweight and liveable for backpacking trips. The spacious interior comfortably sleeps three, while the large porch provides plenty of gear storage. The porch itself is also fully removable for fast and light adventures that do not require additional living space. With a flysheet that is fitted with ground flaps for full coverage, the Convert 2 forms a winter fortress that is impregnable to spindrift
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.
