"On Sale. Free Shipping. Sierra Designs Baku Tent (Fall 2007) Sierra Designs Baku Tent (Spring 2007)We did the impossible with the Baku by Sierra Designs, an ultra-lightweight single-person tent with two doors and a vestibule!Ultralight, burly in the wind, weatherproof - but that's not the whole story. The hybrid single-double-wall construction saves weight, speeds pitching, and remains reliably weatherproof. The Baku also features not only a seven-square-foot vestibule, but a second door. Find that on a competing ultralight single-person shelter! Stash your gear in the front, get comfortable, and you can sneak out the back if the occasion arises. Perfect for thru-hikers, bike tourists, or as an emergency shelter, the Baku sets the standard for ultralight tents that are also comfortable.Specifications:3-Season1 PersonTrail Weight: 3 lbs 1 oz Fastpack Weight: n/a Packed Weight: 3 lbs 7 oz Packed Size: 21.5in. x 5in.

From Sierra Trading Post:
"CLOSEOUTS . The Sierra Designs Baku tent combines single- and double-wall construction to provide strength and ventilation where they're needed most, without extra weight.

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The problem with many ultra-lightweight solo tents is that you're stuck with something that looks and feels like a bivy bag. Sierra Designs' Baku Tent is a roomy and practical one-person design that defies these cramped assumptions. Unlike most of the camping and minimalist backpacking competition, the Sierra Designs Baku sports two doors (one stash and one drop) for easy access and exceptional venting. The freestanding configuration has a large seven-square-foot vestibule to hold your pack and boots. Best of all, the 38-in. height gives most adults the headroom to sit up inside the Baku Tent, so your head isn't the thing that you always hear going bump in the night."

Baku 1
Reviewed by Jon Barfield, Aug 22, 2007

"I bought this tent to replace my overused Integral Designs South Col Bivy Sack (Which is an Excellent product). I wanted a bit more room. The Baku seemed like the obvious choice (price/weight a plus). I've had it only a couple of months and used it backpacking on three trips now."
