The Sierra Designs Summit CD is an extremely rare elite 2 person mountaineering/expedition class tent. The designers of this tent transformed the minimalist single wall mountaineering bivy into a durable, highly versatile and very livable expedition class shelter suitable for use on extended trips into a wide variety of wilderness environments throughout the year. At the time this tent was first offered on the market, it introduced cutting edge design elements that were years ahead of its time and influenced mountaineering tent design for over a decade. Even today, some of the more cogent design elements of this tent can be seen in most of the top single wall expeditionary dome tents currently available on the market. Despite years of modern hi-tech mountaineering tent development, this tent still holds it own, and stands alone among single wall tents in the performance envelop it serves. The Summit CD was designed to perform as a durable, relatively light weight shelter able to provide stout protection in the most extreme environmental conditions, and yet, be livable enough to serve as a primary shelter on extended trips to venues as rugged and challenging as the southwestern desert, the northern woodlands, and the Himalaya. Most tents in this class are highly specialized shelters which are not suitable for use except in high alpine environments. We have owned the Eldorado, the EV2, the Convert 2 (which was based on this tent), and the Tenshi; all top rated single wall tents (see Outdoor Gear Lab’s 4 season tent review), and none of them match the versatility and functionality of the Summit CD. What distinguishes this tent from other elite single wall mountaineering tents is the combination of interior space, excellent ventilation options, and other intelligent design elements that were cutting edge at the time and contribute to the strength and livability of the shelter. Think of it as your packable alpine wilderness tiny home. The tent is a spacious 52″W x 88″L x 42H. With the vestibule attached, it encloses over 41 sq ft of area tent: 31.7sq ft, vestibule: 9.8 sq. It has significantly more interior space than the Eldorado, Tenshi and even the EV2, which has an integrated vestibule but has just 33 sq ft of total enclosed space. It is five inches wider and four inches longer than the Tenshi. Yet, the tent and poles together weigh just 5lbs, 6oz. Neither of those tents cover the service envelop of the Summit CD. The Fitzroy is still a minimalist mountaineering shelter that has no ventilation options other than the doors. The EV3-Conduit, probably the finest single wall tent ever designed, was intended solely for high altitude applications and only has one real door. In contrast to the other two person mountaineering tents mentioned above that we have owned, the Summit CD has never felt stuffy or claustrophobic. On the contrary, its comfortable, easy on the eyes, and a pleasant environment to hang out in. Best in Class Ventilation. What you notice right off compared to other tents in this class is the two gaping longitudinally oriented vents at the top of the Summit CD which are supported by burly brow poles. Effective ventilation is critical in single wall tents. No other tent in this class has vents able to channel such large volumes of air through the top of the tent when everything else is closed up. Moreover, the windward vent can be closed down an completely secured by flipping the brow pole down so that it does not catch any wind when there is a big blow happening. In addition, even with the rear facing ceiling vent battened down, great ventilation can be accomplished by opening the two lower vents located in corners at the foot of the tent to facilitate “low to high” air flow through the open front facing ceiling vent. Simply the best ventilation offered in a single wall tent. The second feature that distinguishes this tent and makes a huge difference is the second door at the foot of the tent. After a night in the tent or when hanging out inside during the day, the ability to allow air to freely flow through the entire tent is a huge benefit. It makes it possible to use this tent for extended trips into the wilderness or on high alpine treks through the Inca highlands. Burly Guy out System. The third feature you take in about this tent is the incredible number of guy out points (inside and out), and the panel reinforcements. With multiple guy out options that this design affords, it possible to completely secure the tent and maintain its structural integrity against the most extreme weather conditions. The 3 layer ePTFE ripstop fabric used on this tent is super tough and confidence inspiring. It almost feels like you are being protected by a waterproof/breathable buffalo hide. The tent is designed to be guyed out so that the side panels become taut and nearly vertical. This can be done with a single Y guy line attached to the side panel guy points. A full guy line rig that secures the entire tent connects no less than 11 external points and a total of 12 possible internal points in a geometry that evenly distributes loading forces across the tent structure and down to the ground. In addition, the brow poles coupled with the pole sleeve design reinforce the canopy poles against deformation in high winds. It is the very definition of a bomber mountaineering tent. Another exceptional feature of the Summit CD is its internal pole sleeves, a major innovation at the time. Although we always use the poles sleeves (easy peasy), the tent can be set up without them in the same way that the poles are installed in the Eldorado. The poles can then be secured with the burly 1 wide heavy duty velcro tabs located at the ceiling and the main guy points. I prefer to use the pole sleeves because the poles always get properly seated at the far corners and they can be installed in inclement weather without substantially exposing the interior of the tent to the elements. Durable Design Elements that Promote Livability. There are a lot of little design elements implemented on this tent that enhance its durability and functionality that are entirely absent from other tents in this class. Hypalon Reinforcements: Super tough hypalon is used to reinforce the corners at the pole ends (smart), and the brow pole enclosures (design overkill, but durable as hell). Generous Storage Options: Removable sidewall pockets and gear attic provide copious amounts of storage space to keep your stuff. If you look at any of the other single wall 4 season tents in this class, none of them have any significant storage options, except maybe the ability to install a removable attic. In this tent, it is possible to have two full storage panels installed on each wall in addition to the large gear attic all of which make it much easier to keep things organized and easily within reach when hunkered down in weather or when base camping. Beefy Double Pull Zippers: Both doors use sturdy reliable double pull zippers, and while the weather flap design used on this tent is now old school, it is easy to keep the zippers from getting snagged just by pulling up on the flap as you advance the zipper… And those flaps really do a great job of protecting the zipper tracks and keeping the weather out. Mesh Panel on Main Door: The main door has both the outer panel and inner mesh panel. When unzipped, both panels can be secured by rolling them up and clipping them into place with plastic pinch clips. Its a little design touch that makes a difference compared to having to fiddle with a loop and cordlock system. The mesh panel means that you can accomodate enhanced airflow and monitor you stove in the vestibule while keeping the interior of the tent free from insects. Strong Vertical Walls: The side walls of the tent are designed to become near vertical when the tent is guyed out. This adds to the elbow room within the tent and makes contributes to the overall livability of the interior environment. Unlike the Eldorado and the Convert 2, the walls of this tent are made of three separate panels which are sewn together in a design that adds to the overall structural integrity of the tent without the need to implement two additional poles. It is a conceptual precursor to the Mountain Hardwear “tension arch” design seen on the EV3, and is implemented on the Tenshi. Smart Vestibule Design: The side door panel design of the vestibule makes it easy to get in and out of the tent through the vestibule and makes the vestibule an excellent sheltered space for cooking with minimum risk of catastrophe. The double zippered door on the vestibule means you can enhance ventilation through the vestibule by leaving the upper part of the door partially open. Also, the vestibule door can be stowed out of the way using the same small pinch clips implemented on the interior doors. It is durable, livable and well conceived for the performance envelop it was designed to serve. That performance envelop hits a sweet spot that meets the needs of mountaineers, trekkers and committed outdoor enthusiasts who spend significant periods of time in the wilderness and high alpine environments. The two guys who were behind the development of this tent drew up a design that was way ahead of its time. At the time, it was the most expensive two person tent SD produced, costing more than double the price of their best double layer recreational tent and significantly more than the Eldorado. In fact, none of the major retailers placed any orders for the tent. As a result, only a handful of these incredible tents were made. This tent is in incredibly good condition. It has a few minor war scars all of which have been expertly repaired. Actually, each of the scars are the result of human error except for one minor point of abrasion near the end of one of the brow poles. As for human error, the floor fabric at one corner wore through due to the misplacement of the pole (didnt use the pole sleeve) which was easily repaired with tenacious tape and urethane tent seal. There is also an expertly repaired 11 inch tear in the floor near the side seam that was due to a gross mis-positioning of one of the poles during set up (again, from not using the pole sleeve). It was repaired by cross stitching the fabric back together, sealing the seam and then applying a fabric patch on both the interior and exterior sides of the repair and sealing the edges of the exterior patch with urethane tent seal. It is stronger than before. Also, the location of the tear is such that when the tent is pitched, the catenary cut of the floor lifts the repair off of the ground. We considered replacing the tent floor (easy to do on this tent) and have the fabric for it. But, there really isnt any practical reason to do it at this point. The floor is otherwise in great condition and well, until the floor actually fails or deteriorates beyond repair, We decided to keep the tent in its original condition, war scars and all. Photos of all repairs have been included. In addition, we had individual hypalon tabs with D rings fabricated and sewn into the floor seams at the midline of the tent. This additional appointment allows the middle of the tent to be staked down and secured to the ground and a tensioning strap to be placed across the bottom of the tent to divert the load from stressing the tent floor. The fabrics used in this tent do not have the benefit of modern factory DWR treatment. The 3 layer ePTFE material works fantastically, but the exterior ripstop nylon will absorb moisture (wet out) from precip if it is not regularly treated (once or twice a year), with an after market DWR protectant suitable for use with goretex type fabrics such as Nikwax Direct (spray on or wash in) or Rivivex. Although that tent required some restoration, when the work was completed, the tent performed brilliantly. Seemed like a good place for that tent to be put into service. A total prize for mountaineering in the Rockies in all conditions and for back country skiing trips. Surprisingly, it came with a spare pole for the canopy and one for the vestibule. In addition, we had a spare vestibule from a Convert 2 tent which had the same basic design as the vestibule for this tent. We adapted that vestibule (had a matching zipper track sewn into it) to fit this tent since it provides a slightly larger vestibule area and has snow skirts which is a benefit when winter camping in the back country. Heck, it works great. These tents didn’t just go to anybody. Only a few were ever produced and this is probably the last one that is still around in serviceable condition. Though this tent has seen its fair share of use and has some repairs, it is in amazingly good over all condition. As it stands, its a 20 year old classic mountaineering tent as functional today as it was the day it was first unfurled in the wilderness. This is one serious and impressive mountaineering tent! A total credit to the guys who designed it. Here is what is included in the full price sale. 2 side wall gear storage panels. 1 modified Convert 2 vestibule. 3 canopy poles (one is a spare). 2 vestibule poles (one is a spare). 1 complete set of custom detachable guy line riggings. 1 OR 30 Litre Dry Bag (for use as a tent sack). 2 dry bag sacks for the vestibules. 1 sack for the guylines. 1 sack for the stakes. Optional: Set of 6 salewa snow stakes and stake sack. Also, if you are interested in considering replacing the tent floor, let me know and I will also include the material for that. If you are interested in owning this tent, feel free to make me an offer and let me know what you want included from the list (or what you don’t care about). You never know, it might just get accepted. The item “Sierra Designs Summit CD Mountaineering Tent (Very Rare)” is in sale since Friday, May 12, 2017.

The Sierra Designs Summit CD is an extremely rare elite 2 person mountaineering/expedition class tent. The designers of this tent single handedly transformed the basic single wall mountaineering tent from a minimalist, no frills climber’s bivy, and developed it into an entirely new concept of a robust, versatile, and highly livable expedition class tent that could be used on extended trips into a wide variety of wilderness environments throughout the year.

Whether you are taking a mid winter trip into high alpine wilderness areas, a month long research project in the field in Northern Canada, or going on a six month trek through Nepal, this is the only shelter you will need. Think of it as a packable alpine wilderness tiny home. I have owned the Eldorado, the EV2, the Convert 2 (which was based on this tent), and the Tenshi; all top rated single wall tents (see Outdoor Gear Lab’s 4 season tent review), and none of them match the versatility and functionality of the Summit CD.

Sierra Designs Lightning 2 FL Tent: 2-Person 3-Season Sierra Designs Tan/Sierra Designs Yellow, One Size. As thunder rolls in the distance, it’s reassuring to know you have a safe backcountry home like the Sierra Designs Lightning 2 FL 2-Person 3-Season Tent ready to go. If the storm’s catching up to you quickly, the Lightning’s freestanding, double-hub pole design lets you set it up anywhere in minutes, and the hybrid single/double-wall design reduces weight, making it easy to scamper off the ridge and find some cover. When the rain starts to fall, the treated nylon floor and and silicone-treated polyester fly will keep you bone-dry, while the mesh walls and covered foot vent will keep air moving so you don’t have to sit in a stagnant pool of boot-stink and sticky air. Along with its superlight hybrid wall design, the Lightning’s defining features are the dual gear closets, which zip open and separate boots, packs, and smelly gear from the sleeping area, so you can spread out while keeping your gear close at hand. Since this eliminates the need for a vestibule, the door is extra-wide, with enough room to accommodate two people sitting side-by-side, and it saves weight compared to a standard two-door design, so the Lightning weighs in at under four pounds, fully packed. Material: [walls] 15D nylon no-see-um mesh, [floor] 30D nylon ripstop, DWR treatment, [fly] 20D polyester ripstop, silicone treatment. We get people who get outside – plain and simple.

Flash 3 FL Tent: 3-Person 3-Season /28324/. See condition description above. Lightweight Backpacking For Three. The Sierra Designs Flash 3 FL Tent maintains the same space and luxury as its more husky comrade, the Flash 3, but it’s much lighter to suit the needs of ultralight backpackers. What makes this tent so much lighter is its hybrid wall construction, which blends the benefits of both double-wall and single-wall construction, so you get a tent that’s as light as a single-wall yet weather-protective like a double-wall. This innovative design also helps you set the tent up quickly in bad weather, and its steep walls and high ceiling give more space than conventional backpacking tents without any added weight. The gear closets also have plenty of space for multiple backpacks and several pairs of shoes, and Sierra Designs placed the closets opposite the doors so you don’t have to climb over all your gear to get in and out. Sierra designs built both the fly and the floor out of ripstop fabric for durability without the weight, and the body features no-see-um mesh walls that provide an ample amount of airflow for the warmer nights. The thin DAC NSL poles are surprisingly strong for how light they are, and the 15-inch integrated awning poles maximize the tent’s space without adding the weight of another support pole. This superlight tent will serve you with comfort, luxury, and a good night’s sleep whether you’re trekking the Appalachian Trail or doing a quick weekend trip in your home range. It fits three people snugly or gives elbow room when it’s just you and another backpacking buddy. 20D polyester ripstop fly with silicone coating (1200mm). 15D no-see-um mesh walls. 30D nylon ripstop floor. DAC NSL aluminum poles. 4lb 2oz trail weight. Large double drop doors. [fly] 20D polyester ripstop, PU/silicone coating (1200mm), [walls] 15D no-see-um mesh, [floor] 30D nylon ripstop, polyurethane coating (3000mm). 86 x 69 in. 4 lb 2 oz. 4 lb 10 oz.

Six Moon Design’s Lunar Solo has a distinctive low hexagonal shape that easily spills the wind no matter the direction. Short steeply sloped sides handle snow or high winds with ease. A generous canopy covers a 26 sq. Sleeping area plus 8.5 sq. The 48 peak height, set in the middle of the tent maximizes room for sitting and taking care of chores. The sleeping area is surrounded 6 inch deep bathtub floor, topped by 6 inches of mesh. This ensures excellent ventilation while keeping you separated from low canopy walls. This keeps you drier on those occasions when condensation forms on the canopy. The vestibule is set on the long side of the tent to maximize views and ventilation when fully open. Close it and you’ve got phenomenal protection from the worst storms. A 2012 redesign raised the canopy 3″ to 48″ and offset the pole, the result was considerably more headroom. Extending the floor to 90 and making end walls vertical enhances sleeping for taller individuals. With more vertical walls, the Lunar Solo easily sheds wind and snow. Full Vestibule provides protection while still maintaining good ventilation when closed. Fully open, the vestibule maximizes ventilation and view. High Vent removes excess moisture build up. Zipper Vestibule Closure makes opening and closing the vestibule a snap. Single Piece Bathtub Floor makes a more watertight floor. Easy Tensioning Adjustment makes keeping your the tent taut a trivial task that can be accomplished while still in your sleeping bag. Re-tension straps have been added to all tie out points. Floating Canopy allows the canopy to be set to different heights. Floating Floor reduces floor stress and helps to minimize punctures from sharp objects. Optimized Sleeping Area is oriented to maximize usable space, ventilation and view. A peak height of 48 inches gives you plenty of head room. Center Pole Support significantly improves the ability of the tent to handle wind and snow loads. Single Hiking Pole Support reduces the amount of gear need. Internal Gear Area keeps your gear easily accessible. Oversized Screen Door allows easy entrance and exit while keeping the front pole out of your way. Ultra-light Waterproof Canopy is made from high strength 30 denier Silicone Nylon. Handy Mesh Cargo Pocket. Extremely Easy Setup in less than two minutes under any conditions. Seasons Sleeps Ships With Pack Size Weight. 3 1+ Tent, Stuff Sack, Guylines 15″ X 4.5″ 24 oz. 65k 6 Green Ultralight Backpacking. Type Frame Entry Floor Space Vestibules Vestibule Size. Single Wall Single 48 Pole. Side Entry 26 ft. 2.4 m. Canopy Floor Netting Zipper. 30D Silicon Nylon 40D Silicon Nylon. 20D Ultralight No-See-Um #3 YKK. Weight does not include stakes or pole. Seam Sealing This tent is not seam sealed. The Lunar Solo is a Silicone Nylon tent. Over the last decade Silicone Nylon has proven its worth in ultralight shelters. Because Silicone Nylon fibers are infused in a coating of silicone, this fabric is both stronger and lighter than traditional tent fabrics. Since silicone is inert, it has the added benefit that it will never mold or mildew. The tight bond between the coating and fabric yarn insures that unlike traditional polyurethane coated fabrics, it will never delaminate. The downside is that seam tapes designed to work on polyurethane coated fabrics will not stick to silicone nylon. This requires you to hand seal the seams of the tent. To seam seal silicone nylon, you will need a silicone based sealer. The silicone in the sealer will form a permanent bond with the silicone in the fabric and once seam sealed, your tent will last for years. For Silicone Fabrics, we recommend using McNett’s SilNet. Lunar Solo – The Perfect Pitch. Written by Ron Moak. Monday, 08 June 2009 00:00 (Used by permission). Unlike a traditional tent, the Lunar Solo’s canopy floats off the ground. This allows for 360. Plus the floor is not rigidly fixed. It is designed to float. A floor under tension is more likely to rip or get holes poked in by sharp objects. This factors combine to make the Lunar Solo a bit more difficult to setup for the first time user. However, we’ve built a number of features in the tent to help get it setup correctly. Follow the instructions below and with a little practice you’ll find the Lunar Solo easy to setup time and time again. Since your tent canopy floats, you can vary the height of your trekking pole depending upon conditions. Higher will provide more ventilation and lower in stormy weather. The front of the tent should always be off the ground. This is to ensure that you have adequate ventilation. Optimum height of your trekking pole should be 49 inches or 124 centimeters for the newer models of the Lunar Solo 2012. Older moldels worked best with 45 poles. Setting the stakes in the proper order is one of the key elements in getting the perfect pitch. Look at the guide layout guide below to know where and in what order to set your stakes. Here are a few additional dos and donts. Do extend the webbing guy-lines to their extent. Run the guy-lines all the way to the ground. Do set the stakes in the order listed above. Since the canopy floats off the ground on the top of the pole, its important to achieve a balance side to side and front to back. Do set the height of the front pole between 45 and 47 inches. Do close the vestibule before setting up the tent. This aide in getting the best alignment of the stakes. Do allow the canopy to rest for a half hour before re-tensioning the tent. This allow the fabric to relax. Do any additional tensioning with the adjuster on the main guyline, if needed. Dont try to raise the perimeter of the tent by using long stakes and terminating the guylines several inches off the ground. This is somewhat counter intuitive to normal logic. When you setup the tent this way, instead of the canopy and sidewall rising, they will tend to collapse instead. This will cause the corners to dip, resulting in reduced headroom and ventilation. The Lunar Solo, with its single pole and raised canopy, creates an incredibly light and airy shelter. Unlike other tents with fixed points of setup, the floating canopy and floor design does take a little more patience to master. Still, the Lunar Solos weight savings makes it well worth the effort.
