Bob,
     Suggest you check out Stephenson Warmlite
"http://www.warmlite.com/start.htm" for their tents.
They are expensive and very light -- that is easy on
the back and hard on the wallet <g>. I have a
Stephenson 2RS that with my added titanium stakes,
etc,  weighs only 3.33 pounds. An number of
backpackers over on the campinglist have them and
swear by (not AT) them.

     John
