Clip Flashlight 3000 2P Tent

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Clip Flashlight is a two man tent tunnel tent design with loads of space. The large vestibule is a stand out feature and it works brilliantly in changeable British conditions, and all at great value for money. 

Sierra Designs says

The Clip Flashlight 2 is one of the most iconic and best-selling tents of all time due to its peak height, usable interior space, and vast gear storage. The non-freestanding 1 door 1 vestibule design with an all mesh body comes in at under 4 pounds for the whole package, and due to clever design, the fly can be porched out to create an awning.

Our Verdict

Sierra Design’s Clip Flashlight 3000 2P Tent provides a winning combination of space, strength and weight. The tunnel tent design stand up to the weather really well while the updated fabrics on this 3000 model are more suited to the wet conditions we normally encounter here in the UK. There is a generous amount of internal space and decent head height along with a good sized doorway with a large vestibule for storing kit and cooking in poor weather.

The door uses two full length zips that allow it to be used as an awning with the addition of some poles and guy lines if needed. It’s a nice feature that allows you to open up the views while staying sheltered. The full mesh inner is ideal for mild conditions but does mean that it can get cold inside when the temperatures drop, especially if there’s any wind. The tent uses 68D material for the fly and floor so this is certainly one of the more durable tents around. This tent is great to use as it is spacious, easy to put up, protective and practical.
