Sierra Design Convert tents

by alpinejason » Wed Jul 21, 2010 1:44 am

Anybody use one? I guess the Convert 2 has a couple rave reviews from Backpacker and Alpinist. Hesitant to buy a single wall tent though. Their website lists the Convert 2 and 3 as the same packed weight, 6lbs 10oz. Seems reasonable for a four season tent, on par with the EV2 anyway. Suspicious that the 2 person and 3 person weigh the same...

I own the Convert 2 and it is AWESOME.

On par with the Bibler iTent from what I have experienced. The trail weight is significantly less than that if you do not bring the corner reinforcements (not necessary unless you anticipate the weather nuking) and the vestibule.

True four season tent too, as it has the mesh door behind the standard tent wall kind of door, as well as bug mesh over the vents.
