A couple REI Dividend sales ago, I picked up a BD Hilight tent, advertised around 2 lbs. 8 oz. I got it home and spent hours seam sealing it, then weighted it. 3lbs. 8 oz., stakes, poles, tent. Kicked myself in the butt for not weighing if first. I hate the manufacturers using trail weight, pack weight, fastpack weight. Lay it on the line. I've been encouraged to take it back to REI, but thought, it was my error for not checking the weight and as a former retailer, I felt I should hang onto it.

I found a source this winter for a small item I wanted and they showed the weight broken out for each individual item, where it was sold in a set. I thought that was great.
