I love to go out to the trails. I goon weekends hokes as much as I can. I have gone on many over night hikes that consist of many days, the minimum being 2 nights. I just bought this tent a few days ago. I currently own a few different Eureka tents, and this one blows the rest of them out of the water. I have not tested it in winter conditions yet, but as it appears next to the leading brand, i can tell that it will be much more reliable.

Awesome tent. Simply the best I have ever used. I spent many a day checking all the tents in this catagory out and the Tiros 1 won hands down. Customer Service How can you spell poor with a word that starts with "s" and ends with a "s". Non existant. Though I like the product, allot, I'll not buy any of their other products. And I'll recommend that no one else buy their products as well. Can you tell I'm upset? |

I bought this tent new/used from a lady who had never used it! Probably the best $350 I have ever spent, save for my motorbike helmet. This tent will stand up to anything nature has to throw at it, probably even a typhon. This tent has so many guy line points you can make it more secure then Fort Knox! If you are lookig for a bomb proof, high quality, 4 season tent, this is for you. Keep in mind you must seam-seal the fly yourself and maybe not a bad idea to do the tent while you're at it, even tho I'm sure the factory did a good job, better safe then wet and cold. Wish they still produced a foot print for it but oh well life goes on. Customer Service none needed yet Similar Products Used: hmmm some MEC tents, Tarn 2 and 3, Moss Tent , neither were mine tho |

Excellent tent for what it is designed for - winter camping. It is a decent weight for what you get - a super sturdy, bomber tent. Works great for winter camping, decent for spring/fall camping, but I wouldn't recommend it for summer, it just doesn't have enough venting. Overall - a great tent for what it is designed for.

Great tent. This tent has been completly buried on Baker several times.NO PROBLEM! A friend of mine who is an expert gear basher borrowed it and then purchased one.Some people say they have ventilation problems with this tent I haven't seen it.I will admit that most of the time it is pitched in breezy sites.This tent is light, strong, and has a small footprint perfect for mountainering.

this tent is one of the best i have used. i have recently had the oppurtunity to sample the Northface expedition 25, the Walrus Rapeed and the Tiros Guide. of the three, the tiros was the easiest to set up in a pinch. i am a climber and i feel one of the most important features in a shelter is the quick set up. the northface was nice and bomb proof, but it took several minutes to erect in high wind. the walrus was easier, but not too roomy once you, your partner and gear is inside. above all the tiros overcame these obstacles. Great job Sierra Designs Similar Products Used: i have recently had the oppurtunity to sample the Northface expedition 25, the Walrus Rapeed and the Tiros Guide. of the three, the tiros was the easiest to set up in a pinch. |

I really think that this is a great tent. It has taken me everywhere, and it's bomb proof. It sheads snow great and is very good in high winds. The only draw back is that the fly is not taped and you must seal it yourself. Also they no longer make the footprints for this tent so you must either make your own or use a tarp. Overall I think that this is the best tent that I have ever slept in. Similar Products Used: I also owned a North Face Corielos Tent I'm not sure the correct spelling. Anyways this tent sucks. It has no vestibule and it isn't very waterproof. It is only good for good weather summer camping in a dry area. It is also really light. |
