Crazy light, crazy functional - NEMO Equipment Hornet Elite Ultralight Backpacking Tent 1-Person

The Elite model of NEMO's Hornet tent exceeds expectations. Like everything from NEMO, the people making the products clearly have tested them and built them to suit what they need the tent to do. I don't backpack with trekking poles, so I needed a tent with poles and wanted to keep the weight as low as possible without sacrificing durability. For a tent that only weighs 2 pounds packed up, it really holds its own. I was a bit concerned since I read a negative comment about the durability of the tent but I've been nothing but impressed with how well this was built.
If you're looking for a highly technical tent for ultralight backpacking that doesn't require trekking poles to set up, I'd definitely recommend the Hornet Elite.
