Sierra Designs Electron RC 2-Person Three-Season Tent

Sierra married two of its favorite tents–the Electron and the Reverse Combi–to produce the Electron RC two-person, three-season tent. Reverse Combi’s award-winning, variable-diameter pole system uses thicker diameter pole sections in the center, where strength and stability are needed most, and thinner diameter, pre-bent pole sections on the ends. This creates steeper walls and close to 50 percent more functional space than a typical X-tent. The tent’s two doors and two vestibules (measuring 14 and 10 square feet) also give gear-loaded backpackers room to spare. Other details include a free accessory package with a coffee sling, a fast-pack footprint, and a portable attic; a sturdy 70-denier nylon taffeta floor that keeps water out; and sew-free windows for peaking outside.

The Electron RC 2-person tent with rainfly and vestibules.

Features:

• Clip-Locs: These patented clips dynamically lock the poles at their intersection, making the tent 60 percent stronger.
• Color-coded webbing and poles: The color-coded webbing guides the pole placement for a quick, easy setup. Made of durable, lightweight nylon, the webbing also assists with quick rainfly setup.
• DAC Featherlite NSL poles: These thick-diameter, thin-walled poles offer more strength and less weight than many other poles, with the best strength-to-weight ratio of any pole available today. The pole’s unique joining insert, meanwhile, allows for a cleaner, smoother transition in Reverse Combi Technology (RCT).
• Dye-free optic white canopy: The canopy transmits light more effectively to produce a brighter, more pleasant environment when spending long hours inside the tent. Sierra Designs produces the optic white canopy without using chemical dyes.
• Locking pole tips: A Sierra Designs innovation, these pole tips stay locked in the grommet for a faster, easier setup.
• Reverse Combi Technology: This award-winning, variable-diameter pole system creates close to 50 percent more livable space. The tent uses thicker diameter pole sections in the center, where strength and stability are needed most, and thinner diameter, pre-bent pole sections on the ends. This creates steeper walls and more functional space than in a typical X-tent.
• Sew-free windows: These windows employ bonded tape to create a stronger, lighter window than traditional sewn-and-sealed versions. This allows Sierra to place the windows in the most optimal location on a tent fly.
• S-Stopper with H-Clip: An innovative way to tension the ridgepole and body while keeping the pole safely out of the way.
• SuperSeal floor: Combining the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors, the SuperSeal floor offers a raised, taped perimeter seam that’s guaranteed waterproof. The floor also maintains a tighter pitch with a better wind line to prevent flapping.
• Tent Guard with Ultra Fresh: Applied as part of the PU coating on Sierra’s rain flies, floors, and footprints, Tent Guard extends the life of a tent by thwarting mold, mildew, and fungus. The Tent Guard is particularly valuable on extended trips or in damp climates, as it protects a tent if it’s packed or stored temporarily while wet.
• Other details: Coffee sling, fast-pack footprint, gear pockets, large vestibule, portable attach, PVC-free tape, RCT swift clips, reflective guy outs and zipper pulls, spider hub, and stash door.

Customer reviews for Sierra Designs Electron RC 2-Person Three-Season Tent :

“I bought this tent two years ago and it remains one of my favorite pieces of gear. I’ve taken it on two 6 day trips through the wind rivers in Wyoming. One six day trip through slot canyons in Southern Utah and several weekend trips all over Utah. I don’t have a single negative thing to say about this tent, but here are some things that I have loved that have made my backpacking buddies jealous.

-Doors on both sides of the tent is a must for a two man tent.
-Vestibules are large enough to fit the gear of two backpackers.
-overhead storage space and hanging cup holders (perfect for your nalgene)
-Extremely sturdy when everything is staked in
-For clear warm weather you can ditch the fly and get the “under the stars view” without the bugs
-the foot print is light weight and a perfect fit.
-Two years and lots of use and not a single defect, no tares, no rips, not zipper failures
-I’ve used it in heavy rain with no leakage
-Extremely easy to pitch,(on one occasion I was caught in heavy rain before getting set up. I was able to throw myself and my gear and the rest of the tent under the fly. From that position I was easily able to set up the tent in the rain while keeping dry.

I’ve been extremely impressed with this tent. A good pad and sleeping bag should resolve any temperature complaints.”
