Sierra Designs High Side 1 3000 Ultralight Backpacking Tent

About the Sierra Designs High Side 1 3000

A favourite among fast-and-light outdoor soloists, the Sierra Designs High Side 3000 1 returns with an updated design built to the needs of campers heading out into an ever-changing North European climate.

Enhanced waterproofing, added wind protection, and a PFC-free construction makes the High Side a standout design for fast-moving hiking and trekking. It also features a green ‘earth-tone’ flysheet to blend in with the landscape for wild camping adventures.

This ultralight tent delivers an impressive pack weight of just 1.2kg and travel-friendly pack size making it perfect for backpacking and bikepacking tours.

The High Side is crafted for fast-moving treks without compromising on performance. The non-freestanding tunnel design is fast to pitch with pre-bent DAC Featherlite aluminium poles offering a generous peak height and ‘high-side’ on the door side of the tent for ease of entry and comfort.

On the inside, there’s room enough for 1 person with single door access and a vestibule for added storage. A secondary vestibule zip lets you raise the door-side fly for use as an awning panel. This can be propped up with trekking poles (sold separately) to give you a sheltered space for food prep and sunshade.

A 20D nylon ripstop fly keeps the pack weight low with a waterproof silicone/PeU treatment to 3000mm hydrostatic head while the addition of 20D solid nylon ripstop interior side panels delivers improved wind resistance. A 15D nylon No-See-Um mesh in the upper portion of the inner tent offers ventilation and moisture management. A bucket floor features a 30D nylon ripstop.

The innovative ‘burrito’ style storage pack makes it quick and easy to pack away while an additional footprint (sold separately) boosts ground protection.

The High Side 3000 1 gives you a proven design with a trail-friendly pack weight that’s simple to pitch with a dependable construction for 3-season trekking and cycle tours. A fantastic tent for solo adventurers wanting a performance tent at a great price.
