One of the most copied tents in history, the Meteor Light was the only shelter ever to win the Backpacker "Editor's Choice Gold" award way back in 2001. The tent--which has been a mainstay in the Sierra line for two decades--is widely recognized for its utilitarian function and design, with precise details that far exceed the average tent. This version, however, includes one new feature: a patent-pending two-pole design that creates more living space without increasing the weight. Efficient, economical, and comfortable, the Meteor Light is still one of Sierra's most reliable tents. The Meteor Light 3 sleeps three people comfortably.
Features:
The Meteor Light 3-person tent with rainfly and vestibule.
Dye-free optic white canopy: Optic white canopies transmit light more effectively to create a brighter and more pleasant environment inside the tent. Sierra Designs produces the optic white canopy without the use of chemical dyes. Inline connector: Part of Sierra's patented Eye Pole Configuration, the inline connector indicates where you should disconnect the pole while breaking down the tent. Patent-pending pole configuration: Reconfigured pole system maintains the function of a 3-pole setup but without the third pole. The footprint remains generous--with plenty of internal space--but cuts a whole pound off the weight. Sew-free windows: These windows utilize bonded tape to create a stronger, lighter window than traditional sewn-and-sealed versions. Swift clips: This Sierra Designs innovation allows the tent to be staked out before attaching the body to the pole structure. Vented vestibule:
The vented vestibule allows for additional air circulation.
