Does anybody remember “SierraWest” or “Sierra West” of Santa Barbara, California? If so, do you know what happened to them? Or who they became?
In 1982 I purchased a small two person tent made by them from Eastern Mountain Sports in Boston, Ma. It had a small hoop at the rear and a larger hoop at the front, and was not free standing. The top and most of the sides were mesh, mesh, with an attached fly sewn to large front hoop area that one simply pulled back and stacked out when it rained.
The complete tent, with stakes and sack, weighs 3 pounds 3 ounces.
The tent performed flawlessly, keeping me completely dry in North and South Carolina nightlong downpours.
It seems to me that the tent was called the “Clip Flashlight” and for years I thought it was made by Sierra Designs.
Last week, I took a closer look a the label. There’s no doubt about it, it’s “SierraWest.”
Again, does anyone remember this company and/or know what happened to them?
Google yielded no results.
Thank you.
