Wenzel Sierra Pass 2-Room Tent

Underestimated the demand eh? You’re losing money running out of product in less than 10 hours of a 24 hour sale.

I probably wouldn’t have bought it anyway but being sold out somehow makes it more desirable.

Dammit. Just when I had trained myself not to obsessively check Woot at 10PM (PST) every night, something like this happens. This is the tent deal I’ve been waiting for, and I missed it

For those wondering, this is a first-rate brand. Wenzel makes tents for many companies, including my old Eddie Bauer (an excellent tent I’ve used hard for the last 10 years). Parts are still available, too.

Thanks so much for this! I just bought one this morning to replace my 10+ year old Eddie Bauer tent (there’s still some life in her, but she’s showing her age)- I’m comforted to know this is the same manufacturer.

I noticed that this does not come with a footprint. Trust me you need one. Although the tents floor is made from “reinforced Polyethylene” that will help from punctures from rocks and ruff terrain that does not stop moisture and issues with loss of heat do to conduction. I would recommend going out and getting a large tarp and cutting it to fit the tents base. That will save you money time and effort (much better then spending more money on a factory footprint).

Remember to cut your footprint an inch SMALLER than your tent’s floor all around. So if it rains on your tent, the rain will not wash onto the footprint and funnel in between it and your tent floor. Most people don’t know this and learn it the cold, wet way.
