Sierra Designs High Route 1 is a lightweight, packable, and spacious double-wall tent for one person that sets up on two trekking poles. The rainfly and footprint have a water column of 3000 mm. You can pitch it with the mosquito net for full insect protection, or alone as a tarp to save weight in your backpack.
What makes the product special?
The tent is set up in two hiking poles, which are placed diagonally. In this unconventional design, you can see a bunch of benefits – the tent isn't tall at just one point, but almost along its entire length. With trekking poles, vertical walls form, preventing any rainwater from pooling. The package includes a rainfly, tent body (mosquito net), stakes (10 pcs), a stuff sack, and guylines to pitch the tent.
Unlike pyramid tents/tarps, there are no “dead spots” in the corners here that you basically won't use and just limit your choice of where to sleep. The High Route 1 isn't unnecessarily wide; you'll efficiently use its entire interior space, and you don't need too much room to set it up.

The rainfly is made from silicone-coated 20 denier rip-stop nylon with a PU coating, while the inner tent is made from the same material, just in a 30 denier version. The advantage is that you don’t have to worry about seam sealing here. All seams are already taped. The setup is super simple – you stake the corners, insert your trekking poles, and attach the mosquito net. You’ll need at least 6 stakes and two trekking poles adjustable to at least 119 cm for the setup. You can secure the tent in the wind using two guy lines above the doors.
On one side, there’s the main entrance with a zipper that goes almost all the way up to the peak. On the other side, there’s a small entrance with a zipper about halfway up the height of the tent. This isn’t another entrance; the half entrance is mainly for handling your gear and ventilation. On this side, there’s space for your backpack and gear between the mesh and the rainfly.

You can attach the mosquito net at the corners and peaks using trekking poles. To make sure you don't put it on the wrong way, the corners of the mosquito net are color-coded and matched with the corners of the tent. Inside the mosquito net, there's a small pocket for little things.
We appreciate that there's enough space between the inner mosquito net and the rainfly, which minimizes the chances of your sleeping bag coming into contact with the rainfly, where condensation can occur. At the top of the main entrance, there's a vent with a mosquito net.
If you use the tent without the inner mesh (just the rainfly), two people can sleep in it. The width of the tent is just right for two sleeping pads, but if you snuggle up a bit, it works. We comfortably got through some rainy nights like this. The tent is pretty long, so smaller backpacks can still fit down by your feet. This tent will really be appreciated by those who usually head out solo and occasionally bring someone along for the adventure.
