"Like a Porsche with a studded snow tires, Sierra Designs' Alpha 3 Convertible 3-Person 4-Season Tent shrugs off winter storms, then sheds its armor for starry summer overnights. To please snow-loving loonies like you, Sierra Designs built the Alpha 3 Convertible to house you and two equally deranged friends in the worst, wind-whipped winter campsite tundra. When winter turns to summer, lend the Alpha 3 Tent to one of your clinically sane friends, and watch him drop a whole pound off his back by leaving the shock-absorbing pole sections and heavy-duty door panels at home."

From REI:
"The tried-and-true Sierra Designs Alpha tent for three easily converts from a four-season mountaineering shelter to a three-season backpacking oasis. Removable Stash Door and removable pole sections let you lighten your load in nice weather. One huge vestibule allows room to store gear while a rear door makes easy work of entry and exit. Large ceiling panel and mesh door panels allow excellent ventilation and stargazing in clear weather. Light yet strong DAC Featherlite NSL poles use an anodization process that is gentler on the environment than conventional methods. Swift Clips provide fast setup; Clip-Locs at tent pole intersections increase tent strength up to 60% without adding weight or bulk. Interlocs attach the rainfly to the tent canopy at each guy-out point to create a strong, integrated structure. Color-coded webbing makes pitching this tent easier than making your bed! Eco-friendly Dye-Free Optic White canopy brightens up the interior living environment. SuperSeal Floor combines the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors; raised side seams are taped for complete waterproofness. PVC-free seam tape reduces the environmental impact of manufacturing this tent. Tent Guard with Ultra-Fresh treatment thwarts the growth of odor-causing mold, fungus and mildew to extend the tent's life. Computer-aided design allows Sierra Designs to create a strong, stable tent with uniform stress distribution across the entire structure. Reflective door binding, guy-out points and zipper pulls reflect brightly in headlamps during low visibility conditions. A multitude of gear pockets keep gear organized and up off the floor. Comes with stakes, guylines and Nite Ize Figure 9 rope tighteners and stuff sacks."
