Sierra Designs Lightning XT 3
2010 Lightning XT 4 with rainfly
  • Tunnel-Dome Architecture - Freestanding ease of set up and large doors from dome tents meet steep walls, covered doors and spacious interiors of tunnel tents
  • Jake's Foot - Simply snap the pole ball ends into the Jake's Foot for secure hold. a simple twist of the foot to the side releases the pole. Jake's Foot allows for easy attachment to tent fly and footprint.
  • DAC Featherlite NSL Poles - Thicker diameter poles with a thinner wall increase strength, creates a stronger connection point and saves weight. The best strength-to-weight ratio of any pole available.
  • Swivel H & C Hubs - Swivel hubs have increased angles of rotation, which helps reduce the possibility of pitching errors and aids in the speed of the pitch.
  • Ball Cap Connector w/ SQ Ring - The Ball Cap eliminates the tip and grommet at the end of the ridge poles. Its unique shape allows the Ball Cap to pivot and rotate without release. The SQ Ring attaches to the inside of the tent fly and easily connects to the ridge pole and the fly without velcro or pole end pocket
  • Superseal Floor- combines the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors; raised PVC-free side seams are taped for complete waterproofness.
  • Color Coded Main Door - To make set up easy, the main door coloring matches the corresponding portion of the fly.
