A:

The Covert 2 is one of the tallest two-person tents available, a nice feature if you want a little headroom, but not as aerodynamic as some lower-slung shelters on the market. Sierra Designs employs its own fabric tech in the fly to promote breathability while cutting wind and wet snow from outside. $460

MINIMUM TRAIL WEIGHT: 5.3 pounds
FLOOR AREA:
29 square feet
VESTIBULE AREA: 8.5 square feet
PEAK HEIGHT: 45 inches
POLES: 3 DAC Featherlite NSL
