Description of Sierra Designs ASP 3 3-Person 3-Season Tent:
Brave ridgeline gales in Sierra Designs' ASP 3 3-Person 3-Season Tent. The ASP 3's Quick Pitch Swivel Hub set-up system helps you get out of the storm in no time.
This burly three-season tent gives you comfortable shelter in all but the nastiest winter weather. Your gear stays dry even when your camp spot turns into a riverbed, thanks to the waterproof SuperSealed floor. Dual doors make those midnight nature calls easy, and the ASP 3's dual vestibules provide plenty of room for gear and wet clothes to dry. After the storm, open up the adjustable fly for a little fresh air. Tough as it is, this mobile domicile takes up minimal space in your pack and the lightweight DAC Featherlite poles hold up to falls, bumps, and sword fights.
Bottom Line: The Sierra Designs ASP 3 Tent sinks its fangs deep into inclement weather.
I love this tent. It takes about three minutes to set it up...in the dark. And it is very easy to fit it back into its bag, even if its not folded perfectly. It is a little tight for 3 people but managable. The two doors are nice so you don't get stepped on by the first one up in the morning
This is a very good tent. I've used it for a few years now and it always keeps me dry and is quick to set up. The large vestible on the front has plenty of space for storage, and the smaller rear vestible isn't bad. I took off a star because the zipper on the main door is at the top of the tent, which is not cool when you're trying to unzip it from the outside on a dewy morning - the wet rain fly is almost guaranteed to brush your shoulder. Tons of breathability though, and you can't beat the view when the fly is off. Another cool feature is that you can set up the fly on its own for shelter, but I wouldn't recommend it for a beach shade - it's not high enough and doesn't let the breeze through.
