Product Description
Intelligent design and backcountry wisdom make the Sirius 3 from Sierra Design unique and lightweight. The Quick Pitch Swivel Hub not only streamlines set-up, but also increases strength by stabilizing poles in a windstorm. The DAC Press Fit poles offer more strength for improved durability and a more wind-resistant pitch. Siliconized ends of the tent body function as a single-wall shelter, while the half-mesh doors and half-coverage vestibules permit ample airflow through the tent. The Sirius 3 is comfortable, resists condensation, and weighs next-to-nothing for three campers. The hybrid single- and double-wall design of the Sirius 3 pares down weight which means an easier walk in for backpackers.

Great entry-level backpacking tent! September 19, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I purchased this tents for backpacking about three years ago. I've used the tent on multiple backpacking trips and have never had any problems. The tent is one of the best deals I've ever found. It's inexpensive, yet it is light, made from quality materials, and handles heavy wind and rain with ease. On two of the trips I went on, it rained heavily, yet the Sirius 3 kept me and my tentmate dry as a bone. Other people in other tents had problems.
My only beef is that if you have to put it up in the rain, it can be a bit tricky to put it up without getting the inside of the tent wet. But it can be done. Practice makes perfect! Be sure that you're staking out the guidelines for the rainfly.
I think this makes a great tent for two people, especially if you're taller or larger. Remember that when most tents say that they fit 3 or 4 people, they mean that you're in there like sardines and your gear is all outside underneath the rainfly. If you want a little bit more space or comfort, go to the next size up. You might sacrifice some weight, but if you're not an ultralight backpacker, you won't mind.
