The trouble is that it isn't; by todays standards; a lightweight tent and it isn't really strong enough for winter above the snowline.
Also as a design it isn't as good as the tent it replaces. The original Firelite was a very good tent, as was the original Sierra Designs Flashlite
I am interested tho in which tent you bought as a replacement

No its not as lightweight as a lot of tents on the market but its a lot cheaper too for what is still a good quality tent. It is a little heavy due mostly to its size. Its called a duo but three people would sleep side by side in it with enough room still at the top for a pack or two. As far as two person tents go it has a lot of room to spare. to break it down the poles,pegs and ropes come in at 610g. The tent and fly are 1755 (I know its a little more than the 2.2kg, I got that from another website).
I am replacing it with a Bearpawwd pyra tent and a pyranet2. I really would have liked a MLD cuben duomid but I a afraid I am a little low on fun tickets
Anyway if anyone is interested I would take $165 which I think is a pretty good price for this tent especially considering that its never been slept in.

Hi,
Is this tent still available? I am looking for a 2 person 3 season tent...lightweight and okay for walking in our supposed warmer months here in Tasmania (which really means you need to be prepared for anything). I have heard this tent doesn't have a lot of vestibule space but since it's only myself and my 10 year old son we should be able to manage that. I was going to check that if had two doors and if the outer fly on both of these can be tied back, just in case we need a cross breeze (some older reviews of this tent said only one outer door can be tied back).
Thanks

Hi,
If you haven't sold this to Subedoo, would it still be available ?
