That would explain a greater tent weight on Backcountry.com, not a lesser tent weight.

Tom - I'm a writer for backcountry, and perhaps I can shed some light - oftentimes the specs tent companies give on their websites or customer catalogs is the MINIMUM weight, which means the weight of the fly, poles, and tent body. This doesn't include stakes, stuff sacks, or other parts. Sometimes in our vendor catalogs we have a trail weight, which reflects those extra things. The mistakes could be due to this, although we're double checking them to be sure. Thanks.
