I dont Know if I will buy this tent but want to know how well it works. Just in case.
looks like the lightest free standing, four season, multiple person, dome tent ever
specs:
25.1oz total
Free standing
four season
dual venting
seam sealed
2 person
4 on side
carbon fiber tent poles
silicone impregnated rip stop nylon
includes floor
$500

looks awsome for one and a half pounds but I will probably stay with my poncho/bivi combo because of cost and weight

I dont know if any one has seen this tent it is made by a fairly small company and cant Remember how I came across it (just lucky I guess)

Ryan, there is a review on this site for the tent. From what I remember, it was not too favorable. Your much better off staying with your bivy/tarp combo.

[Ryan Faulkner]

yeah I thought it might not be very durable I will check out the reveiw

[Ryan Faulkner]

Wow it is nothing special, only light.
well I have been happy with my tarp/bivi combo. Ill just work to minimize that weight. cant wait for the nano poncho and bivi

[Ken Helwig]

With a lightweight bivy and a tarp like the Nano Tarp (which I bought and can hardly wait to stick in my pack) you can have a shelter in the range of 10 oz or so. That is a lightweight combo that is light and safe. To bad my wife doesn’t share the love of tarps like I do.

[Ryan Faulkner]

Thats what I think too. Even in the winter I have used tarps. What was I thinking, a tent, thats not super ultra light. drop the S off “sul tent”
