Sierra Designs Clip Flashlight CD Tent

Pros: Lightweight, Setup Time
Cons: It's just too dang small and costs more than other comparable tents.

First off, let me say that I do not own this tent. So then, why am I writing a review? I almost owned this tent.

My trail partner and I were looking for a lightweight dependable tent for a relatively low cost. The Sierra Designs Clip...

Pros: Lightweight, durable, well ventilated, sturdy in wind, small packed size, converts to lighter configuration.
Cons: Not really designed for 2 adults, stakes bend easily.

I have wasted a lot of money on backpacking gear over the years trying to find items of good quality and lightweight. I really wish that the Sierra Designs Flashlight had been my first tent purchase because it fits the bill for the kind of backcountry...

Pros: Very lightweight; compact; dependable, time-proven design; good ventilation; pre-bent aluminum poles add strength; Sierra quality; good price.
Cons: A bit tight for two at times; rainfly will sag if not put on tightly; not free-standing.

The ubiquitous Sierra Designs Clip Flashlight is synonymous with lightweight, three-season backcountry camping. A mainstay of Appalachian Trail grunts and bike-trippers for many years, Sierra has stuck with the main design in acknowledgement of its...

Pros: A sturdy, LIGHT tent
Cons: Small for 2, not free-standing

I have one of these so old it predates the "clip" part of it (and a few other refinements that have greatly improved it). I bought it second-hand about 10 years ago from a friend who'd used it hard for many years. Yeah, it leaks a little, and yeah, the...

Pros: Light weight, strong,wether worthey, new olive color makes for eazer stelth camping, very packable.
Cons: Not free standing.

I have the clip three cd tent.The clip 2 was a little too tight for me and my wife. The clip 3 is perfect . It only weights 5lb 8oz. A little more than the clip 2 but I am willing to carry a little more weight in a tent for the extra room, besides I...

Pros: light and compact, inexpensive
Cons: a bit cramped for two, don't expect to sit up and play cards

You might want to know your camping partners fairly well before you share this tent with them, but its compact size serves well for travel. I've used this tent during travel to South Africa when I wanted the flexibility of having my own shelter. The...

Pros: Weight, Easy to set up
Cons: Door on the floor, not free standing

I have the Clip 3 and love it. I've had it for 6 years now, and it is still doing great. A little leaking problem in the beginning had be questioning my decision, but an application of seam sealer dried my fears.

As I often find myself...

Pros: lightweight, cheap, water-tight
Cons: hoop design is not as stable as free-standing

Sierra Designs has made an excellent tent here. It is a time tested design, and has gained respect among campers everywhere. The tent has a two-pole hoop construction. I have found it to be very stable (it lasted through a hurricane in West Virginia)....

Pros: Quality, durable, strong, light and roomy(Clip-3)
Cons: Not freestanding, not a 4-season, my zippers wore out

The Sierra Designs Clip Flashlight was my first real backpacking tent, but I should add that I opted for the 3 person model. Mine was very moderately priced, and weighed in at almost 5 pounds. I usually travel light, but a good tent is fairly...

Pros: Three Season tent. Easy to set up. Proven design. "Fast pack" option.
Cons: No extra space. Maximum weight I am willing to carry for 2.

This is a relatively small two person tent, you may have to leave your backpack outside at night, but it has adequate sleeping room for two people. It is easily set up, but it is not free standing. That is, it requires stakes, so once up it isn't easy ...

Pros: Light Weight, Durable
Cons: None, If you know it's a small tent!

I've had my Clip Flashlight for 3 years now - and it's been everywhere from the Sierra, to the Adirondacks, to Assateague. From 40 mph winds, to 6 inches of new snow, it's taken all the abuse that's been ladled against, even my extreme clumsiness!
...

Pros: waterproof, easily warmed by body heat, small and effective
Cons: not self supporting, room area

If everything was made as well as the Clip Flashlight, the economy
would collapse because you'd only have to buy something once.
I've taken this tent to hell and back, and it's still going strong
after five years. The clip system makes it...

Pros: Weight, size, ease of setup
Cons: price, not for more than 1

I purchased this tent for my hike along the Appalachian Trail. I never did hike the AT, but I've put many miles on my Clip Flashlight. It kept its shape after having about 3 inches of snow deposited on it in the Rockies. The shock-corded poles are...

Pros: Lightweight, durable, great value
Cons: not freestanding

I used to work in outdoor retail, and no tent company has been more innovative in tent design than Sierra Designs. In my opinion, the SD clip flashlight is the best all around 3 season backpacking tent on the market today.

The size to weight...

Pros: keeps the water out very dry
Cons: can blow away does not keep heat in very well

Pretty strong I like the shape of it has very good water shedding. Keeps you nice and dry. looses some heat so I think you should use a warm sleeping bag. Has a light compact design.You could carry it for many many miles and not get tired at all. I say...
