Sierra Designs Hyperlight

[Guests]

I just started backpacking and have recently bought a 2 man 5 + pound Sierra Designs Hyperlight that has really worked out. I split the weight w/friend but is not too heavy for myself. This tent is great. Get a copy of backpacker mag (2004 gear guide) for the stats on everything worth backpacking with. Pete

I’m still using a Sierra Clip Flashlight that I’ve had a few years. It’s about 4 lbs and does well in rain but is not a free standing tent. That can be a problem in rocky areas, although there are few in the South where I do most of my hiking. Golite also makes a number of ultralight tents/tarps that are interesting but I’ve never tried them: http://www.golite.com
