Thread: Sub 1kg tent / sleep systems

Big Agnes has some good light options. You tend to forego a few things like free standing and really lightweight floors that need a footprint. Advantage with a heavier free standing tent, you can use the outer with the footprint to make a really light durable shelter. Example would be the Big Agnes copper spur UL1 at 850grms with footprint. However the full tent excluding footprint is only 1.08kg. They have great reviews.

Have just grabbed a 3 person one at 1.79kg as have 2 boys to drag round the hill.

Also have a Hilleberg UL10 tarp for going light in the warmer months or as additional shelter in the bush when the weather is shit. It’s 750grms and the ducks nuts when it comes to tarps. They have been cut a certain way that allows it to be so taunt.
