Hi,
I am looking to purchase a solo tent that is lightweight. The lighter the weight the more likely I would be to consider a small 2 person tent for the extra room and on the off chance someone comes along with me.
I have been looking at the MSR Hubba, the Marmot EOS 1, and the Sierra Designs Lightning Tent. The first two weigh in under 4 pounds, while the lightning is a 2 person and slightly over 4 pounds.
Has anyone used or bought these tents? Any thoughts or suggestions? Are there any tents I should be considering?
The negatives I have heard are that the Hubba struggles in the wind because of its high profile and that the EOS is kind of cramped - just a couple inches to small in every directions, despite what the specs tell you.
I would really appreciate some input - especially as I am getting sick of lugging my 7 pound tent along with me everywhere this year
Thanks
