A little larger than the Samaya, but still crazy light.

Anybody actually use the samaya brand tents and have any feedback? Looks like a European mountaineering brand. Surprising more companies haven’t offered more in freestanding dcf dyneema offerings. Really only BA carbon models and the duplex flex which doesn’t stand out as a true freestanding, just a fix. Anything out there Im not seeing?

Havent weighed it but I've used a Catoma EBNS with wolverine ground cloth and rain fly for a lot of years and have no complaints at all as well as completely free standing system I would say the tent without ground cloth and rain fly is probably under 2 lbs. I've used mine all over the world from the western us to Africa and up in Sweden Norway down through the EU and all through Spain and it's still going strong after 12 years of use.

It says one person but I'm 6'1 170 and my wife is 5'4 and we sleep in it comfortably together my friend kameron got one and at 6'5 285lbs he can still sleep in it comfortably as well I enjoy the rain fly because it adds an area to keep the pack inside and when one or two of the dogs are with me they sleep in the opening of it's raining there is still room to sit up and cook a meal on the stove and move around some and deployment of the tent itself is the easiest ever with the fully included bug net when I was in Africa we would seldom ever put up the rain fly just pull the tent out take off the compression strap throw it up in the air and let it land unzip and climb in didnt get much easier or faster take down was just as quick and easy and with the bathtub design even getting some water build up around the tent has never been an issue. Stopped digging drain trenches years ago.
