Product DescriptionOne of the most copied tents in history, the Meteor Light is the only shelter ever to win the Backpacker "Editors' Choice Gold" award, way back in 2001. A mainstay in our line for two decades, the editors at Backpacker recognized its utilitarian function and design. We nail the details in our tents, which account for the buzz about 'em. For example, the pole sleeves start high on the Meteor Light, meaning you can stake out the tent first, then slot the poles. The next time you build camp in a windstorm you'll be thankful we thought ahead. The Meteor Light's also great for tall customers, with a peak height of 43 inches and a sturdy, three-pole design. Efficient, economical, and comfortable, the Meteor Light is still a standard-bearer for us.
An "Editors' Choice Gold" award from Backpacker made our Meteor Light a legend overnight!

Hasn't voted | For the 3 Seasons, this is the best backpacking tent. From looking at the stars in the summer to having the rain fly on when the weather is bad, this shelter rocks. I have owned two of them. Sierra Designs customer service second to NONE. | | Posted Jan 21, 2009 10:07 am |

Voted 4/5 | While I really like the side door design, two vestibules, and tremendous amount of space it offers this tent has always been a pain to set up. The maneuvering necessary to cross the poles and then get them into the end pieces is really difficult, especially for one person to do alone.
At first I thought it was me but I have had others follow the directions and encounter the same difficulty.
Eventually I ended up bending two of the poles to get it to work but I went ahead and used this tent quite a bit anyway including several snowy below freezing campouts here in Maryland. Last summer I returned the two bent poles to Sierra Designs who sent me brand new ones, no questions asked.
While I enjoy the design of this tent it is a nuisance to set up (at least for me!). Now that my Sierra Designs Orion has finally died this tent will be my main tent so I'll see how the new poles hold up! | | Posted Jan 27, 2009 10:36 pm |
