Sierra Designs Electron RC 2 (2008) 3-Season Backpacking Tent

Product Highlights

Updated for 2008! The Sierra Designs Electron RC 2 is a roomy, versatile and, best of all, affordable 3-season tent. Sierra Designs increases the value of the Electron RC 2 by throwing in a compatible footprint, coffee sling and portable gear attic at no extra cost!

Designed to shelter two backpackers or campers, the Electron RC 2 offers 34 sq. ft. of usable interior space. Sewn-in pockets serve as interior gear hideaways and large dual vestibules provide an additional 20 sq. ft. of sheltered space for cooking or storing gear outside of the main tent body. A portable attic with a zippered pocket and sewn-in organizational dividers is included and allows you to store additional gear overhead and out of the way. The Electron RC 2 also comes with a coffee sling which suspends from the ceiling of the tent and enables you to keep your drink within easy reach without risking spills or transferring moisture to clothes and gear.

DAC Featherlite NSL aluminum poles offer sturdy, freestanding support without adding much weight to your pack. Reflective guy lines help to further secure the Electron RC 2 and provide visibility when returning to your tent after dark. Two large stash doors allow for convenient access to the Electron RC 2 and provide excellent cross-ventilation.

A dye-free optic white canopy makes the interior of the Electron RC 2 more livable by transmitting natural light more effectively. This feature really shines on long, rainy days spent inside the shelter of your tent. The Electron RC 2's fabrics have been treated with Sierra Designs Tent Guard with Ultra Fresh, ensuring protection against mold and mildew and extending the life of the tent. Environmentally-friendly PVC-free seam tape protects the interior of the Electron RC 2 from moisture and precipitation.

If you want to go even lighter, you can attach the compatible, custom-fit footprint to the tent fly, eliminating the tent body for light and fast warm weather backpacking or camping. In this fast fly configuration, the Electron weighs a mere 3 lb. 10 oz.
