How much does your 2 person tent weigh

“How much does your 2 person tent weigh?”

“3.5 in that arena... but mine is heavy by most standards.

cobra peak I”

“Four pounds, 11 oz. and it's free-standing.”

“Four pounds for NF Slickrock and NF Tadpole. Six pounds for our old Walrus.”

“Mine's a Marmot Nutshell.”

“2 lb 13 oz, not free standing, 4 season (Stephenson's Warmlite)”

“see?.. heavy by most standards..:).. way to go SN, just blow me out of the water..”

“I was thinking of purchasing a cheap 5-1/2 pounder but I think you all just changed my mind.”

“NNN: Which brand?”

“About 8lbs, about 6lbs, and a little over 2lbs. Depends on which 2-person tent.”

“Eddie Bauer”

“discontinued TNF pebble
5.5 lbs.”

“Mountain Hardwear - Thru Hiker
5 lbs. 3 oz.

Mountain Hardwear - Trango 2
8 lbs. 4 oz.

Weight isn't too bad because when I'm carrying a 2 person tent, there's two people to split the load.
When I travel alone all I carry is the footprint for the thru-hiker.”

“NNN: How cheap is cheap?”

“Tarp! Tarp! Tarp!

Mine is 14oz without stakes and pole - which is a stick that I scrounge up at the camp site.

My tent (which I don't carry anymore) is 4.5lbs and is a Coleman Peak Aries - freestanding.

I prefer the tarp in cold weather.
I prefer a Hennessy Hammock in warm months. = 2.5 lbs”

“TD, $99 cheap.”

“Walrus rapeede (old model, lacks additional pole of new model. 5 1/2. Good tent. stayed up in 35 mph one cold night.”

“NNN: My cobra was only $89.”

“Let me correct myself, The price of the Eddie Bauer here is still $99, but I was only thinking of purchasing it if and when it comes down in price.”

“The Walrus Rapeede is a great tent. We used it for a few years before getting the Warmlite.”

“and MSSHiker paid $2.99 for his.. WalMart paint drop cloth, 4oz basis weight.

:)”

“Peak 1 Cobra
2 lbs. 6 ozs.”

“I was wrong.. (I got the same as WD..) not 3.5.. mine is only 2lb 6oz... and I paid $89 for it.”

“1 lb 15oz and thats with the stakes and string.”

“TD,
I only paid $49.95 for my Peak Cobra (Brand new)”

“6lb "Iron Mountain Gear 2 Man Hut" for trips with wife - looks like the Eureka Apex cost $150 (before my TT days - relied on the salesperson too much). For solo I plan to use a 8'x10' sil nylon tarp and the Walrus Trekker insert.

Knowing now what I didn't know then - for the two person tent I would have gotten one for less money and more mesh (for Florida heat) - see this thread for more on that.

My long-term hiking plans are similar to yours - working up to some time on the AT and similar trails. I think the tarp will suit that and all points in between.”

“rabbitman -- wow.. u gotta be kidding me.. sale?”

“Close out at Acadamy last July. I bought it for my daughter to use, but I love it. I use is as a solo tent.”

“Peak 1 Cobra - 2 lbs 6 ozs.

Nylon Tarp - 1 lb 12 ozs. 10x10 Tarp. 8 aluminum stakes. 20 ft of parachute cord

Climb High Gore-Tex Bivy - 2 lbs 5 ozs.”

“Rabbitman: kewlies.. :).. luv my tent!

“7.5# Moss Stardome Original with siliconized fly.

Never take it solo just when I can share the load.

Have used it in 50+ mph wind without a single rattle.”

“I don't think mine is that light either. I'll bring it in tomorrow and put it on the postal scales.”

“It's the lightest tent in the world
It's the lightest tent in the world. In fact, it's lighter than last year's model because Sierra Designs worked with Easton to produce the lightest and strongest tent poles in the industry. Made with an aerospace carbon bonded to an Easton 7075 aluminum core tube, these poles are 30% lighter than previous Easton tubing, and use special Kevlar® connectors for enhanced durability. This year's Ultra Light Year CD is nearly a half a pound lighter than any single-person tent currently available on the market, so it's perfect for anyone who wants to go light without sacrificing comfort to the elements.

“$244 tho.. hMMm.. i will stick with my cobra.. :)”

“2 lbs 6 oz is correct.
I weighed mine. That's tent, fly, pole, stakes, & stuff sack.”

“About 3-1/2 lbs. Sierra Designs something.”

“4.5 Lbs for my summer tent and
4 Lbs 12oz for my winter tent.

My siltarp weighs 14 oz.”

“Tarp w/stakes = just under 2 lbs”

“and it fits 3 comfortably 4 in a pinch.”

“TD that tents looks a lot like the Golite Den and the den costs $50 less.”

“3 sq. ft. Vestibule keeps your pack and boots dry

That's not big enought to hold my pack. That's only 1'x3 ft which means it's as wide as the tent but only one foot deep? WTF?”

“I would have to set my boots sideways toe-to-heel just to keep the toes from hanging out the end.”

“3 lbs, 10 oz according to the specs. I haven't weighed it.

Sierra Designs, clip flashlight 2”

“My Tents:

Two Person Tent: Sierra Designs Clip Flashlight (older model) 3 lbs 6 oz with titanium stakes.

One Person Tent: Integral Designs MK1 Lite (seems bigger than the Clip Flashlight inside) 3 lbs 11 oz

I also have a Slumberjack Bivy Shelter that weighs about just a little over 2 lbs, but it wouldn't hold up against much foul weather.”

“My walrus rapedity is 7lbs.It's 4 season.My three season 2 man is just 4lbs.”

“Oh migosh! I don't have a two person tent! I have a 9' X 9' dome, a three man A frame, a four man tarp/tent, a tarp, but no 2 man! I may have to fix this.”

“why would coleman add one and a half pounds to the weight, in the specs?

dude needs a new scale!”

“Check out this baby. Very light and very expensive.
