Thread: compact light weight (300-400 gram? ) who uses what?

Mates got a number of 'Mother Earth' models. Reckons they are the lightest ones available and the most durable on the market! Unsure of the exact weight but he says way lighter than 300 grams. Cheapest ones he's come across also. He regularly uses the DIRT model which he said does 90% of his trips. He's tried but doesn't recommend the ROCK model as its not overly comfortable, and said stay away from the SNOW model as it's got terrible thermal insulation and has a very low rating. The TUSSOCK model is good if you can locate one but apparently distribution of this model is a bit hit and miss and is more readily available in the South Island...
