"Free Shipping. Sierra Designs Omega 2 Convertible Tent (Spring 2008) - Add Omega 2 Footprint to Cart for FREE with Tent Purchase The Omega Convertible Tent by Sierra Designs walks the line between a three- and four-season tent, shedding 10 ounces in three-season mode. This innovative shelter drops pole sections, panels of the tent's body, and full-coverage doors to expose ample mesh if conditions allow. Headed out a little later in the year or into higher elevations, then simply add the reinforced pole sections and you've got yourself a double-wall four-season tent. Ours are the only tents capable of morphing from lightweight backpacking mode, to a full-on Winter bombshelter! Clip-Locs, Swift Clips, Tent Guard with Ultra Fresh, and DAC Featherlite SL poles make the Omega Convertible the choice for a pimped-out, versatile shelter.

"I had the Omega light- which is the same but made with silnylon so it only weighs about 5. 5#. I used mine for one trip and threw that puppy on craigslist. I wanted to get one tent to do it all - and this one is damn close. I'm 6', 200# and my girl is 5'1" 90# and we were cozy in there."

"Very strong tent, and actually roomy enough for two people. Tall people will appreciate the length. Weathered a cold October rainstorm in Texas nicely. I used it as a solo car camp tent; if used for backpacking be sure two people split the weight."

"This tent has changed very little in years. It is one awesome tent! If you want a great ALL AROUND tent for ALL seasons, this is one is very hard to beat, I promise. I call it my "tank tent". I own eight tents and watch manufacturers models all the time."

"Just used it this past weekend. Nice tent! Puts up easily and has tight fit. Weather was nice, therefore I don't have a good feel of how the tent stands up in harsh weather. But, I suspect well. This is a two-man tent and has plenty of room. I am six feet tall and there is plenty of room for me and the wife and a little gear not a lot."

"So far, I've only used it for summer and fall. But it has been absolutely poured on and stayed bone dry. Also have been set up on a very windy ridge and it didn't even flap. Very tight fly set up. And that was just using two poles and a spreader, not the full 3 poles."
