Many (most or all) the numerous other low-end backpacking tents, at Campmoor, for example, definately including most Wenzel models, are neither truly ultra cheap nor ultra light and I think of them as all-around bad bargains.....I can't believe Wenzel Solo is the only ultra-cheap ultralight, but it's all I've seen. Somebody mentioned Cabelas... etc.......I guess there are a few others


well aside from other issues mentioned in other posts. this is a large part of it.

you've basically tried to build a thesis off of a single tent, whose size/weight/price ratio is quite good. But myself, and i'm sure many others see a bunch of tents we don't want any part of by the same manufacturer and basically get suspicious of it.
