Sierra Designs Electron 3

Hiking & Camping > Shelters & Tents

Mountain Gear

Cut down on weight, up your weather protection, and be kind to the environment with one single tent - the Electron 3 from Sierra Designs. Constructed with a fully recyclable polyester fly, instead of non-recyclable nylon, this tent provides a flexible Spider Hub system and Reverse Combi technology for increased spaciousness while an Optic White canopy gives you more interior light for those dreary days when bad weather keeps you off the trail.

Features:

  • Ball Cap Connector takes the place of tips and grommets at the end of the ridge poles for easy pivoting while the SQ Ring easily attaches to the ridge pole and tent fly without Velcro
  • Enjoy a brighter, more pleasant tent interior when you're stuck in your tent for extra time beneath the Dye-Free Optic White Canopy that transmits more light to the interior
  • Expand your living area without increased weight - Reverse Combi Technology, a flexible Spider Hub system, and H-clips steepen walls for a spacious feel
  • Make setup and tear down easier with the RCT Swift Clips that easily snap onto your DAC Featherlight NSL poles
  • Protect yourself from the weather a fully recyclable 68-denier polyester fly that's just as tough as nylon, doesn't stretch or sag with temperature change
  • You're protected from the weather by the Sew-Free windows that use bonded tape instead of seams to decrease the possibility of leaks

Backcountry.com (Fall 2009)

With a classic, two-pole design, spacious interior, and environmentally friendly construction, the Sierra Designs Electron 2 Tent is your go-to shelter for comfortable slumbering. The X-style pole configuration and lightweight clips make for a quick setup, and the two doors and vestibules give each person their own entry and storage space. A third center pole increases the interior head room, and Sierra Designs used PVC-free seam tape, dye-free fabrics, and an eco-friendly pole anodization to reduce its impact on the environment.
