  • @Carlsarv you want everthing, go and get one why are you telling us for?

  • @knarfster it is a double weall tent inside

  • @knarfster Sorry, apparently it is a two wall tent. So it is te lightest "2 wall" tent in the world according to Guinness. It is not THE lightest tent in the World. Apparently the Photon has a bad condensation problem even though it is a 2 wall.

    The lightest full bathtub, full bug screened tent is the Gossamer gear "The One" which is $325.

  • @bluntsalot . No, the "Ground" you are seeing is the vestibule where you store gear or cook when it is raining. This tent is fully bug proof. It has a regular bathtub floor and no-seeum netting.

  • @dbw16d This is technically a tarptent too then. It is single wall shelter and not free standing. This looks like the TarpTent "Moment" (Same single hoop pole) only smaller, which is only 808 grams. and costs only $215, not $400.

  • @knarfster they would count that as a tarp tent

  • Lightest tent in the world, Freaking NOT! the Gossamer gear "The One" weighs 1/2 pound less if you use a trekking pole, and still 3 oz less if you buy a Heavy 6.2 oz poles, and is $100 cheaper!!!!

  • one thing to remember about this tent is the pegs are absolute crap. Even the meekest breeze will pull them out of the ground, then you will find out just how light the tent is as it flies off.

    If you do buy it, get yourself some decent pegs and throw the ones that come with the tent away.
