Weights: Fly 9oz; Inner 10.2oz; Poles 6Stuff sack 1/2oz;

Just returned from Otter Creek Wilderness where the temps dropped to 19. Slept under a tarp on a closed cell mat. Was comfortable throughout the night. My toes started to get cold at daybreak, and I felt a little cold spot on my hip, but compared to the outside temp, I was fine. (I sleep on my side in long underwear and socks btw). Very happy with the quality of this bag at this price. The Western Mountaineering Alpinelite is only 2oz lighter and costs more than double the price. Great Job Kelty! Now make some lighter solo tents! :-)

If it wasn't for the ultralight weight, combined with a great sale here at Campsaver, I would not have purchased this tent. I am 5' 10" and the door is like crawling in and out of a play place at Mcdonalds LOL. Once in, you have to spin 180 so your feet end up at the bottom. And there is no room to sit upright without having your head literally wedged between the two walls of mesh. Side entry tents are much better (but of course heavier as well). That said, once comfortably in my bag, I had enough room to put my pack under my head as a pillow, lay a few things I need down one side, and a few things I don't need down the other side. The vestibule is large enough for my boots and pack. The quality is great. All in all, better than a bivy, and I believe worth the extra wind protection over a tarp. Anything else will be heavier, other than the platinum. But the platinum is all mesh and offers no wind protection. The pricing is insane as well.
