Looking for a lightweight tent as I have been using a 40$ kelty that isn't very good with moisture, weather, and weighs 6 lbs looking to upgrade. Something lightweight, 2 person that won't break the bank. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I was looking at this as well, but have decided on the double rainbow. Bit more weight/money but I think tut is worth it.

I bought the Motrail this spring. The tent packs down well, and actually fits in the stuff sack. The built in bugnet to the bathtub floor was great on summer nights in BWCA. Didn't have any issues with mosquitoes. Depending on how you pitch the tent it can be a bit breezy, so using more than 5 stakes is great for reducing the draft. Although, the tent is more difficult to pitch than the black diamond floorless tents I've used.

Overall, I really like the Motrail. It's very packable and had adequate room for two people.
