The Sierra Designs Meteor tent series returned in 2020 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 Meteor 3000 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.
The Meteor 3000 tent gives you that same lightweight, 2-door, twin vestibule design that doesn't compromise on living space and on-trail comfort. The freestanding dome design is fast to pitch and features pre-bent Osung poles that create a vertical front wall while a ridge pole creates near vertical side-walls to maximise internal space. On the inside, there's room enough for 2 people with a door either side for hassle-free access for each occupant. A vestibule on either side provides extra storage space and protect entrances from rain.
The flysheet can be rolled back for added ventilation in warmer weather while vents offer airflow and moisture management in cooler climes. The 68D fly and floor fabric see an increase to 3000mm hydrostatic head while the addition of 15D solid nylon interior side walls delivers improved wind resistance. A 15D nylon No-See-Um mesh in the upper portion of the inner tent offers ventilation and moisture management.
The innovative 'burrito' style storage pack makes it quick and easy to pack away while An additional footprint (sold separately) boosts ground protection.
The Meteor 2 3000 from Sierra Designs gives you a technical, 2-person backpacking tent that balances low pack weight (just 2040g) and living comfort with an attractive price that makes it a great choice for the experienced outdoor enthusiast and recreational camper alike.

Great tent. Very easy to put up and trim, roomy and handles both hot weather and rain very well. I like the clamshell case which makes it easy to pack up. Overall feels very well designed with a quality construction.

Simple design so easy to put up. Inner first, so best to practice a few time so it’s a bit quicker in the rain. Thankfully I dodged the Scottish weather for enough minutes to put it up each night. Loads of space inside because of the straight wall design. Decent vestibule space x2, enough for two people’s backpacks and other assorted stuff if needed. I spent 3 nights in different spots with 2 medium size dogs and it was plenty of space. Would be fine for 2 people who like each other’s company. Packed I wouldn’t want to carry it as a solo backpack tent as it’s a bit bigger than my old vango banshee. It was fine for canoe camping, and would be ok if backpacking and sharing gear between 2 people I would say. Feels like a nice quality tent for the money.
