Thread: Light weight tents

I really enjoy the Tarptent Stratospire Li. When set up correctly it’s as bombproof a 3 season tent as one can ask for. I haven’t had a chance to test it in NZ (yet), but it’s held up very well in all spring/summer/fall weather on my trips in the US. It does have a bug net, which I assume would keep your sand flies out.

As mentioned above MSR makes solid freestanding tents if that’s your preference.

Here’s my Tarptent in the alpine in Wyoming.
