"Head up the trail despite the autumn storm rolling over the mountains. The Sierra Designs Sirius 2 Tent gives you bomber protection during all but Mother Nature' worst. Sierra Design's Swift Clips and pre-threaded Quick Pitch Swivel Hub system make setup a snap, so you get out of that storm faster. The dual doors let you take midnight bathroom breaks without stepping on your tent-mate's face on the way out. The Sirius' dual vestibules add four square feet of protected space on each side of the tent, so you and your friend can store your muddy gear out of the way. The Sirius Tent anti-microbial Tent Guard with Ultra Fresh treatment fights funky-odor buildup."

Sierra Design's revolutionary Quick Pitch Swivel Hub speeds set-up by having the tent's poles pre-threaded and ready to snap into place."

"This is a great tent, especially for the price.

Pole-clips make set-up a breeze. Set-up time is 3 min or less. Very helpful in bad weather.

Roomy enough for two, but not packs. Can easily put 2 Therm-a-Rest reg length pads inside. However, tent is not overly long: My 6'2" husband just fits."

"I got this tent about a year ago from Moosejaw and haven't looked back since. It's lightweight, easy to set up, and really is waterproof. Don't be a dummy though, point it in the right direction. Having two doors is always a great idea, and when you take the rain fly off and lay down while star-gazing you thank the good Lord you bought this steal-of-a-deal."

"I bought this tent because it's 4. 0 lbs packed. It's an easy, two-pole setup gig, no problem even at night. Don't bother getting the footprint -- make your own. I used some 6mm vapor barrier, cut it to shape and used duct tape in the corners -- I punched holes in the duct tape so the tent poles fit."
