 Trek Four Season, Hi-Tech Dome Tent, 8x8 (Sleeps 3-4) By: Trek Average Rating: 4.0 Total Reviews: 1 More Information weight of tent  On: 2007-12-11When I started looking for a 3 person, 4 season, light weight, economical tent, I thought this would be perfect. I have not used it yet, but I have set it up and I really think it will work for our backpacking needs. I know this is not considered a backpacking tent, but 7lbs. (indicated on website) is not bad when our other backpacking tent weighed 5lbs. We decided 2 more pounds would be ok. The only problem I have is that the website says it weighs 7lbs. The shipping weight on the box said, 11 lbs. I know that the box did not weight 5 lbs. So my husband weighed the tent at work, without the box, on a commercial scale and it weighed 8.5 lbs. So, you might be thinking 1.5lbs. is not a big deal. Well it is when you are carrying it on your back for 25 miles. Every pound is important when considering what you take with you. I think the weight needs to be changed on the website just incase someone else has the same weight considerations. Thanks, SandRaT |
