The Sierra Designs Flashlight left us with some mixed emotions. We were very excited to try this 3 season tent as the design seemed unique and we were anxious to see what it could do in the wild. It held up nicely in extreme weather but did leave a bit of condensation. At just over 2 pounds the weight is nice and ultralight, and the 2 open sides with awnings are nice especially on warm/dry nights but we did run into some issues with clipping in the vestibule and one of the zippers. The 88 inch length gives you more lounging space than many other 1 person tents and bivy sacks, and the 35 inch height on one side of the tent is a little more convenient than a peak height in the middle. This especially helps if you get stuck inside due to bad weather or for just having the ability to change clothes. If you get sideways rain, the water can soak the inside. However the tent floor is made from 30D Nylon Ripstop, water-resistant 3000mm polyurethane coating which ensures the wears and tears you’ll inevitably encounter. Also for the price, you can get a much nicer, bigger tent. Not our favorite tent, but it may do someone out there well.
