Sierra Designs is available in your Speck-Sports shop
Born in California, Sierra Designs has been committed to supporting and encouraging outdoor enthusiasts in their various adventures since 1965. Today, this means creating equipment and appliances that are functional, aesthetically pleasing and, above all, accessible to all.
Sierra Design's philosophy: Think Outside
What does this mean?
Every outing, every hike, every exploration is a way of learning more about the world, but also about ourselves. Our attraction to the outside world must shape our days, months and even years. Every step, every stride along the smallest trail should fill our souls with a sense of wanderlust. Every campfire, every night under a starry sky must be a moment of joy and sharing.
But it also means that settling for the ordinary is no longer enough: we have to get out of our comfort zone, push our limits and let ourselves be guided by the unknown. Think Outside, because life is in the adventure, not in the destination.

Minimalism meets performance
A closer look at the products offered by Sierra Designs reveals that the word "superfluous" is not in their vocabulary. For Sierra Designs, the functional aspect takes precedence over the rest in order to best meet consumer needs.
Take the HIGH SIDE 1 tent, for example.
This tent offers the bare minimum for adventurers looking for an easy-to-use, lightweight and compact product.
Sierra Designs has made the minimalism of this tent its great strength. With just two poles as a frame, a ventilated chamber and weather protection, the HIGH SIDE 1 tent needs little more to satisfy its users.
The asymmetrical shape of the HIGH SIDE 1 allows water to run off, preventing the formation of water pockets and reducing the risk of tearing. To simplify assembly, Sierra Designs goes straight to the point with a simple system of clipping the chamber onto the hoops. Compact and lightweight, it weighs just over a kilo! So it's ideal for slipping into the bottom of a bag when you're off on an autonomous trip over several days.

When lack becomes indispensable
Sierra Designs also sets itself apart from its competitors by omitting certain elements that we might have thought indispensable until now, notably when it comes to their sleeping bags.
When it comes to sleeping bags, it's hard to imagine one without a zipper, in which case it would be a simple comforter. Here again, Sierra Designs innovates.
Take their CLOUD 800 sleeping bag, for example.
Its down filling isn't its only advantage. In fact, this model (like the others produced by Sierra Designs) is distinguished by the absence of a zip. To make up for this, Sierra Designs has fitted this sleeping bag with an oversized duvet for incredible comfort, whatever the circumstances.
The sleeping bag also has a foot opening (which remains completely sealed when not in use) for quick and easy ventilation and better temperature regulation.
