I use both a golite jam 2 tarp (21 oz) and a golite lair nest 2
(26 oz).

They're both older models that I picked up 2nd hand. The loops for fastening are a bit worn, but that was just how the previous owner tied the cordage to it.

I have fit 3 guys in the lair nest 2, it was snug but it worked. It is sturdy, but you definitely don't want to abuse it (as with any UL gear).

I can't speak highly enough of them. If Golite is going heavier (it appears they are) I wouldn't be surprised if it was for durability and warranty issues. As UL gear becomes more available, more people use it and use it like it's heavy duty gear!
