Near weightless shelter
By BYOlympia
Ranked #811 - Tents
September 29, 2005
The size and weight alone is worth it. I have slept in other shelters (MSR Twin Peaks and standard tarp), and this by far the lightest. I much prefer it solo as it is small. Suspending from above rather than trekking poles on the inside is great, though not much head room. It packs down to the size of your fist and weighs less than a pound. Take lots of stakes for pitching options. I found it on sale, great buy!
