Thread: Light weight tents

Light weight - this gear is good. I don't have this tent but have their packs and a fly.

I have an msr elixir 1 for sale if you’re interested. Good light weight setup

I have a MSR Hubba Hubba 1 person, its great, multiple ways to set up including just the fly, has a footprint but doesn't need it, small vestibule for gear. Been in some pretty average weather and I always sleep easy.

Macpac bush cocoon. Its basically a bivvy, with an insect mesh in the door. If you have room to lay down you have room for it. Weight is something like 1kg

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.
