Some will prefer the slightly see through aspect as well as the non sag bit.


I suppose that is the hard part - while it might be a notch that would weigh a third less, that's probably falls a bit on the side of having money and determined to be lighter. and while lots of people will pay $250 for a tent, not many will go over $400..

I certainly see your point as to why tarptent isn't in a rush to make them till the price can drop more.. much as the thought of a 16 oz notch is actually really appealing wink
