The Meteor provides an impressive balance of usable space, durability, weight and great value for money. This solid three season tent is a great all-rounder.
Sierra Designs says:
So much room, you’ll want to extend your stay in the outdoors.
When you need more room than most backpacking tents but still demand a lightweight setup to shoulder on the trail, the Meteor tent is large and in charge. Zip open the 2 vestibules and 2 doors, and you’ll discover a spacious interior with steep walls thanks to a ridge pole design that increases volume at the head, peak and foot of the tent. Stay cozy and dry through a rainy night with its bathtub-style floor and waterproof, PFC-free rain fly, or roll it back on clear nights for a 5 (million)-star view. When it’s time to break down camp, forget fighting with the stuff sack. Just drop the tent in the Burrito Bag, cinch the cords and keep on trekkin’.
Our Verdict
Sierra Design's Meteor 3P Tent is a great all-rounder that gives you a good amount of internal space, two decent vestibules and a practical set-up design. The simple but highly effective pole design allows you to quickly and easily set up and put down the tent. The space inside is generous for three people and the use of almost vertical walls makes the space more practical for sitting up in. It allows good ventilation and stands up well to typical three season conditions in the UK.
This tent provides amazing value for money. Although it's not the lightest weight three man tent it is highly durable and practical. The materials used, quality of construction and overall weight are really impressive for the price. An excellent tent for anyone new to camping or prioritising value for money.
