Hi, I am in Australia but am trying to setup a good ultralight backpacking setup. I currently am trying to choose between 2 tents. I will be using the tent in mountain ranges in the snow occasionally so I consider I will need a 4 season tent. Cost is no issue as I would rather the light tent than the heavy cash, lol. So what I need is opinions about the following two tents and if you can think of other lightweight tents that are of comparable use you may also add information on those. I cant use tarptents as I hike with a gun and need to keep it dry.
First tent is:
STEPHONSON'S Warmlite Climbers Two Person Tent. I will add the following options, reflective liner, large door front, wind stabilizers, end liners and side windows. This gives a total weight of 1530gram or 3pound 6 ounces. this weight has no ground sheet for extra protection.
Second tent is:
BIG SKY Montana 2p shelter with snow flaps, both interiors, 3pc 4season poles, stuff bag, 6 guy lines and v pegs, ground sheet. So in snow my weight would be 1932gram or 4pound 4 ounces and in non snow my weight would be 1523gram or 3pound 6 ounces. These weights include a ground sheet.
So any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
