"Time Tested and reliable, but lighter options exist." 01/03/13

With all the changes Sierra Designs has made to their tents in recent years, it's amazing they still make the clip flashlight. Perhaps because it's such good balance between weight, price, and versatility. Lighter options have existed for years in the "cottage industry" specialist tents, but if you wanted Name Brand Quality, this little sucker was it. Now, however, brands like Nemo and Big Agnes have brought ultralight to the mainstream. They are a viable high-quality option, though pricier. Check them out. I sold my old Sierra Designs tent and bought a Nemo that better suits my needs, and it has been a great tent for me.

"Packs small, fully waterproof and durable" 11/19/12

I love this tent, while I'm sure it fits two snugly, it is the perfect size for myself, dog, and gear. Holds up under extreme wind and rain. Water doesn't force through. It doesn't drip in while vestibule is open. It packs so small that I can do overnight's with all the comforts using my 18L daypack. You can get lighter tents, but if you want a fully-enclosed waterproof shelter this is an affordable, packable, lightweight option. Consider other tents if you often camp in rocky areas because this is not a freestanding tent, but the lightness, interior volume, and ease of setup with this design are worth it.

"Light, Fast." 08/14/12

This tent falls into the ultralight category but it's probably on the higher end of that with the fly and stakes. The poles are aluminum which are great and since there's only two of them, plus the clips the set up is super fast. This isn't a freestanding tent though, so pitch it somewhere you can anchor it. I've only taken this into the desert so I can't comment on any waterproofing but the seams are all welded and the shape should hold up under high winds.

"My luxury item..." 12/21/11

I have had this tent for 5 years, I tried to go lighter with a trekking pole tent, but I keep going back. I just like it enough to lug an extra pound. Mine is about 3.8 lbs. I use it as a one person tent so there is enough room for me to regain my sanity when the mosquitoes are insane. It gets top points for easy set up, ventilation, and compact stuff size. I bought my son a similar tent from Mountain Hardware, got it in the mail and was dissapointed at the packed volume vs the Clip Flashlight. Sent the MH back and shelled out a few more for another Clip Flashlight because life is too short not to have the right gear.

"Works well for me." 11/16/11

Unlike some others here I find it has just enough room for two. The lower volume makes it warmer in freezing weather. The quality of the materials and stitching is excellent. I prefer a tarp tent in summer because it is much lighter, so this is my snow camping tent. i have had it on a dozen trips or so and in rain, on snow and to works fine. I have not had it in high winds. The manufacturers weight is lower than actual. With tent poles, pegs, stuff sack, fly mine weighs 77 ounces (4,13) and 55 ounces fast pack with footprint (3,7)

"Simple setup and light!" 08/29/11

Bought this tent nearly two years ago and it has held up fantastically. As others have mentioned it is a bit of a squeeze for two, but it is managable.Even the first attempt at setting it up was a breeze and it sets up and packs up quick.

"Nice, light, backpacking tent" 06/25/11

I use this primarily for myself. I'm 6'1" and I fit fine in this tent. However, if you try and use this as a two person tent, you both can't be over 6'. In all honesty, it would be a very tight fit for two people, although I'm certain it could be done.I love this tent, its rather sturdy, has held up well for me, and is "light" for the price. If you don't want to spend a lot of money on a backpacking tent, this is the one to get.

"Light + Easy + Small = LOVE LOVE LOVE" 06/23/11

This tent is a breeze to set up, its light and compacts nicely. To save room, I ditched the included sack and separated it into two small stuff sacks. My poles roll up in my bedroll. The tent is extra roomy for one and is cozy for two small/medium sized people (I'm 6'0, 170lbs and my is 5'7 maybe 110lbs). The vestibule is nice and roomy and the rain-fly held up to 2 days of continuous rain on my last trip. If you buy a footprint, you can go super minimalist and use it + the vestibule for an ultralight shelter! The tent is also quite easy to find in the dark.The only downfall I can think of is that this tent is not self standing, but the price and weight makes up for it!

"Great Lightweight tent for the money!" 06/16/11

The tent is easy to set up and surprisingly roomy. It's super lightweight which definitely comes in handy on longer backpacking trips.

"A classic backpacker!" 04/16/11

I have had a SD Clip Flashlight for almost 15 years and it is still performing like a champ. I think it is more of a 1.5 person tent, but two can fit if you don't fear encroachment on your personal space. I have used mine in the heat of summer in Shenandoah NP and snow storms in northern Michigan, and it held fast. It's important to guy-out the rain fly in order to avoid some unwanted condensation though.Great tent that has been around for a long time!
