Lightweight and Easy

Ranked #2801 - 3-Season Tents
August 9, 2006
I took the Firstlight with me on a trip in which I injured my back and was still able to set it up very quickly and easily. Easy to carry and fits into a side pocket in my backpack. Weighs in at 2lbs 15oz with stuff sack, but without spare pegs etc. Didn't rain on this trip, but when I tested it in my yard after seam-sealing, there were no problems with simulated steady rain from a hose.
