What do People Say About Sierra?

I know a few ODPU's (outdoor pursuits) whose brains were worth picking for their insight into Sierra Designs. Here's some of their comments about Sierra Designs:

Lesley - good quality stuff, but a bit out dated. When I think of Sierra I think of a brand my dad would have used.  

Jennifer - We don't really buy there product because we think Canadian tire brand.

Volker - Expensive high-end stuff. Volker's sense of backcountry gear is that it has to work. It's got to be waterproof, warm, and durable. He's very loyal to his tent. He paid $40 for it used and it's just been the best tent. He loves heading into the backcountry because it's the one place he can get away from the daily grind.

Knut - Expensive fancy stuff. Knut had some other insights into his gear and going into the back country. The backcountry is a place to find peace and tranquility. You can hear things you don't normally hear. His tent is essentially a place to keep his sleeping bag out of the dirt. A strong waterproof bottom is key. His sleeping bag has to have lots of elbow room especially in the winter, because you've got to keep all your beer and gear in the bag so that it doesn't freeze. Feather sleeping bags are definitely light and warm, but if they get wet, they are a bugger to get dry.
