>>I am strongly considering purchasing a Sierra Designs Meteor Light CD tent.
Anyone  out there with an opinion on this tent, solo tent size during layovers
due to weather, free standing tents in general, or Sierra Designs? <<





I've had a Sierra Designs Half Moon, a similar model, for some years now and I
think it's a terrific tent.  Easy to put up, stays up in heavy wind, and does
a reasonable job of heat retention in cold weather.  I've had no problems,
except one; the tent fly coating started to stick to itself, but somehow
seemed to be waterproof anyway.


    I queried Sierra Designs via their website about that....  It took them
Five Months(!) to respond.  Basically they said Gee, they didn't know what
could have caused that so didn't know what to do, but I could always buy
another one from them.  I'm still using the original, and it still keeps water
out....


    Nonetheless, I would recommend the brand...
