Vintage Sierra Designs Hoop Tent One Person Bivy
I don't know much about this Vintage Sierra Designs Hoop Tent One Person Bivy, but it is pretty cool. It is non-freestanding but has a cool swirl design that you don't see too often.
I just picked this tent up for $3 at a vintage/junk store. Thing is, it looks a bit different. I think the one i got is older, but its got the same exact single diaganol pole with the smaller foot pole(s) at the bottom w tie-outs etc. The one I got has definitely more mesh involved... The one I have either is without a Fly(?) or is specifically for summer/dry weather or under a tarp..very light. Unfortunately its gonna need some mirazyme...ugh.
Actually, Its the exact same tent...fashioned a diff pole for the footbox area. Thing is actually gore-tex I think, and the smell is gone....Turns out the thing is in mint condition, probably used once or twice. Sweeet!
Is this tent for sale?
