Pitching a tent in the backcountry should be all about enjoying wide open spaces, not sleeping in confining places. Sierra Designs’ durable and versatile three-season Electron Tent is excellent for backpacking on trails and camping among towering forest trees. When you compare the dimensions with other reduced weight backpacking tents in similar sizes, it’s easy to see why tall backpackers and big climbers consider the Sierra Designs Electron Tent a favorite, especially in mild weather conditions. While the architecture is similar to the Sierra Designs Gamma Tent, the Electron Tent features a versatile second Stash Door for entry and access on both sides of the tent, so one person can exit without disturbing the other sleeping occupant. The Electron Tent includes a Fast Pack footprint for decreased weight on minimalist backcountry adventures in mild (but not cold) weather. Other favorite Sierra Designs extras include a coffee sling and portable attic. All fabric is treated with Tent Guard with Ultra Fresh for reducing mildew.

Product Reviews

  • Not enough stakes - A nice roomy 3 season tent maybe a littlr heavy at 5lb 10oz - only a pound lighter than my 4 season tent of about the same size!. The gear loft and stoage pockets are useful but I have no use for the coffee slings when backpacking they are with the larger family tent now. One minor niggle is that sierra desins do not supply a full set of stakes - enough for fair weather but not enough to guy out so budget a few bucks for a few extra stakes. overall nice and easy to put it up and bright and airy inside a plus for the supplied footprint and gear loft. I recomend this tent just short of 5* for lack of stakes.
  • Full Featured 2 man Tent - This is a great 2 man tent. It comes with the footprint gear loft and 2 drink holder slings. The layout is nice: good size vestibule on each side. No more crawling over your buddy to go to the bathroom at night. It also is very roomy. The floor space is good and so is the headroom. There are lighter tents but this is light enough and you won’t find another tent with all the features or accessories for $180.
  • Does what I need. - Good 3 season tent. Weight is acceptable and provides plenty of room. Good selection of add’l features to make you feel you got your money’s worth.
