A little bit of digging and I found reviews on this thing from 1999. 
Probably pretty decent for a 2 person, 3 season shelter designed in that
time frame.

By todays UL standards, its clearly obsolete.

Speaking of  Shires / Tarptent:  Has anyone else noticed the several new
products they've put out over the last year or so?  Makes me want to trade
up from my 2003 vintage Virga (I can hear it in my gear room right now
saying...."but, but, but.....I've been with you for almost 3000 miles
on the PCT, I'm still good.")

5 lbs 12 ozs Tent? Nostalgic.

With a Six Moon Designs or a Henry Shires tent you could carry a spare tent 
and still be way under this weight.
