[QUOTE="jmden, post: 602876, member: 1742"] Another lightweight 1P to look at is the MSR Carbon Reflex 1: [url=http://cascadedesigns.com/msr/tents/experience-series/carbon-reflex-1/product]MSR® Carbon Reflex™ 1P Ultralight solo Backpacking Tent[/url] It does weigh 3 lb. 3 oz total weight, but: 1) the solid tent body walls go a bit higher than most of these lightweight designs and that will help tremendously if you get in a situation with any blowing sand or snow as the fly overlaps these solid body panels substantially more than some other lightweight designs, the Big Anges Fly Creek one being an exception here. 2) the floor is made of a heavier 40 denier nylon which will take a little more abuse than the lighter 20 and 30 denier floors found in the other shelters 3) the floor has a 3000mm hydrostatic head (height of water column exerting pressure straight down before some amount of water will seep throug the material) watertight rated coating--the other three UL 1P shelters I mentioned above have ratings of 1200, 1200 and 2500mm hydrostatic head. 800mm is equivalent to 1 psi. If a 200lb person puts all or most of their weight on 1 knee on these floors with moisture underneath the floor, you'll exceed any of these floor's ability to keep water out. But 3000mm is much better than 1200mm. 4) it has a side door entry and good sized vestibule. Might be the way to go, but for the extra weight... [/QUOTE]
