Editors' Choice Awards 2009: Sierra Designs Lightning XT4 Tent

[Riot454di]

Cool just brought one - I need protection from lightning as I camp during many storms

[c9ari]

Sierra Designs used to test their stuff on Mt. Shasta. If it can take that it would take anything the UK and toss at it.

How is this the "first backpacking-friendly 4-person tent" ??? Does it not compare to the Kelty Gunnison 4.1? The Kelty is only 19oz. heavier(no doubt because of the fact it only has about a 30% mesh opposed 90%) with similar square footage.

hey..Where abouts were u camping ?

[soundmaster31]

@droptheleash0

This was in Wales. Look up the video on the backpacker magazine website and there is more of a write up about it.

[droptheleash0]

@soundmaster31 Thanks for the heads up. I am from Wales myself, but wondered where abouts exactly they were camping in the country. Ta

@droptheleash0

Try this on for size...

"But then came the clinching moment in Wales. In a rain- and hail-blasted camp high on the Glyders–a sharply rising 3,000-foot range in Snowdonia National Park"

If you go to the backpacker website and search "sierra designs lightning xt4" the first two posts are the video and the written article that quote is from. It won't let me post a link in a response...

[droptheleash0]

@soundmaster31 Thank you for that. I did go to the website and look at their website archive as you suggested, found the editors choice awards '09 video under the destinations tab, which shown them in Snowdonia/Eryri and describing the places they stayed in, with some pretty awful weather ! Also one of them going up mount Snowdon/yr Wyddfa as well. Cheers

[scrumpymanjack]

@plutoplatters Dude, I truly hope that English is not your first language. If it is, that sentence you just wrote is just plain embarrassing.

[DrReaper]

1:17 isn't that a rip in the tent?

[MrTangent]

@DrReaper It appears that the zipper is not fully zipped. :)
