This is great design 03-05-09

Sam Kelly (2): rating

After using a Sierra Design Stretch Dome 4 season for the last 25 years the fly delaminated and they didn't have one to fit a tent that old.With the great design and quality of the Sierra Design tents, I was not even looking at another brand.The Antares 3 gave me close to the size and headroom I had enjoyed with the Stretch Dome and its 2 lbs lighter.The double doors and double vestibule on the Antares make entry and exit a breeze..so I'm not climbing over anyone else to get out.It has lots of pockets and a suspended "attic" at the top for holding stuff.This tent is still a little heavier than a 2 person tent but I will trade the slight weight penalty for the extra room.The SD clip system attachment makes the fly extremely taut and well fitting..Its a very easy setup...and this my sound weird but I've always liked the blue color of SD..easy to see in the snow...Hope to enjoy this tent for years to come.If you can catch this one on sale it is an unbelievable value.

Comfortable, Sturdy and Dry. What Could be Better? 11-03-08

My wife and I use this tent for weekend backpacking trips. I carry it, which is why she likes it. I like it because it is roomy for two people without being overly heavy. (If you're planning on sleeping three people in it, make sure you're all real good friends.) At 7 pounds it violates the 3 pounds per person guideline. I maintain it's worth it because you get two doors and two large vestibules. Two doors are super when you have to get up in the middle of the night and you can do it without crawling over someone. Two vestibules are really great for tucking boots and stuff out of the weather. The tent has a lot of mesh which keeps condensation from building up. And, it comes with an attic for storing breakable things like glasses. My only complaint is that the tent doesn't come with a cool name like Hubba Hubba.

Great tent for a Big Boy 06-30-09

Sierra Designs tents are all around great tents. I have a 10yr old Clip Flashlight and it works for those light weight times. At 6'3" I pretty much fill it up. I've found most two person tents aren't much bigger. I bought the Antares for backpacking. I can support the 1.5lbs extra pack weight (7.5lbs) for the added room. I Just finished a 7 day trek in the San Jauns of SW Colorado. It handled a ferocious rain event like a champ. It Supported 5 others for a rainy afternoon card game. It would be tight for three of my size, but works fine for two with lots of room. Thumbs up from me!

Almost perfect 06-17-09

The size of this tent is great. This is a true 3-person tent. My one complaint is that I often catch the zippers on the rainfly. Not only is this annoying, I'm afraid it will reduce the lifespan of the tent. Otherwise, this is a great tent.

Features? 03-27-09

I'm not sure why under features it says that it lacks a bathtub floor and sealed seams. It has both! I just got mine in the mail and I couldn't be happier. I thought it was odd that Sierra Designs would make a tent without those features... Check it out for yourself. It's a great tent.

Bomb proof !!! 03-27-09

Kobracom77 (2): rating

I purchased this same tent bran new three years ago for $400. It was well worth the money then. At $200 it is a steal. I live on North Vancouver Island B.C, It is a rain forest and we experienced what exports call a weather bomb! It set a record for the most rainfall for that region in 24hours in just seven hours. We were perfectly dry the next morning as well as our packs. I don't know how crammed three would be but it fit me at 6ft and my 5ft10 girlfriend as well as our 100lb Rott fine. This tent also has good airflow as there is never moister on the inside due to condensation. It also comes with a ground sheet and gear loft. with lifetime warranty.
