Sierra Designs Spark 30 Sleeping Bag


Lighten up so you'll be the one singing the last mile into camp. The Spark doesn't compromise comfort or warmth to shave ounces. We use partial Flex construction to keep the luxury meter pegged without adding noticeable weight. You'll sleep more comfortably, and more warmly, than ever before with Flex. Just to prove we're still attached to the details, we include all the bells and whistles, like Foot Box Venting, to make our Ultralight Spark as comfortable as bags weighing twice as much

Carbon Reflex 2 Person Tent

Posted on February 4, 2010 at 2:32 pm

MSR Carbon Reflex 2 Person Tent + Free Footprint


The Carbon Reflex 2 is the lightest, double-wall 2-person tent weve ever made, crossing the barrier from ultralight to hyperlight. Utilizing the latest fabrics and cutting edge carbon fiber poles, weve shaved nearly a pound from the legendary Hubba Hubba making this the new standard in ultralight performance. The best thing about the Carbon series tents however is what we didnt take outlivability. Packing 7 ft. (2.2 m) of length, plenty of room to sit up in and a roomy vestibule, were continuing to prove our philosophy that traveling ultralight should increase your comfortnot compromise it.

* Hyperlight: Comparable to the Hubba Hubba in volume, the carbon fiber poles and efficient design make the Carbon Reflex 2 nearly a pound lighter.
* Fast Setup: Efficient two-pole design is strong and simple to use.
* Livable: Unique geometry provides maximum interior space, front vestibule and zippered rear window access to rear vestibule.
* Versatile: Can be set up as a double-wall tent or with just the fly and footprint for a compact, flyweight shelter at just .90kg (2 lbs.)

Capacity: 2
Floor Area: 29 sq. ft/2.7 sq. m
Vestibule Area: 14 sq. ft/2.7 sq. m
Interior Peak Height: 40in/100cm
Minimum Weight: 2 lbs 13 oz/1270 g
Packaged Weight: 3 lbs 4 oz/1490 g
Fly w/ FootPrint Weight: 2 lbs/900 g
