How heavy is this tent? Would it be light enough to backpack with?

I am not sure that it is only three pounds. I think it is an ok tent for fair weather backpacking. It is an average tent. Nothing special. It will fit three people comfortably without a lot of gear. But if you have a tarp to place under this tent, you will be adding a lot more weight. I hope this helps. But for the price, it is a good tent, but not the best for lightweight backpacking. There are a lot of ultra light backpacking tents available. I just found one at a thrift store brand new for $10.00.

I would say not too heavy. It is a heavy mil and may require some folding and rolling practice. Would fit flat in a backpack or rolled and on top of a smaller pack (like mine).

I haven't checked the specs, but it is really quite light. Perhaps 2 pounds or so?

Hi Merdith,The tent is quite nice and weighs between 50-60 lbs. Also, while the tent is really nice the casing's zipper ripped the first time we used it.Thanks again and happy shopping.-Shaun

Only a free pounds. Can't be exact, but not more that 3. I'd take it hiking, it's lighter than a shelter half. It's made of light weight material and the poles are the typical for these kind of tents.

It's not too heavy, but not super light. It folds back into its bag nicely, and the bag has a carry strap so you can throw it over your shoulder. I would say it weighs about 20 lbs, which will feel like a heavy winter type sleeping bag. Hope this helps.

It weighs about 35 Lbs. The tent is designed to withstand some pretty strong winds and is relatively attractive. You shouldn't have to chase it down the beach nor be embarrassed to sit under it!

It's very lightweight. I think it would be a great thing to use on a backpacking trip!

Definitely too heavy for backpacking. I'd guesstimate it weights 15-20 pounds.

Not sure of the weight but I would not backpack with it. I only use it for car camping.. And it's real bulky

As a car camper, I can't really speak to the weight. However, we had a really rainy summer and this tent did great every trip. Just be sure to get a good tarp to put under it.

We don't have it anymore so I can't weigh it, but it's very light and should be easy to take on a backpacking trip.

I'm not sure how much it weighs, maybe 5-6 pounds. The only problem I see is it is somewhat bulky to pack.

This tent is a very heavy gauge plastic. I set it up once just to see it but it seems to me that it is completely sealed and with some care it should be reliable. Itis very lightweight and compact but if I were taking it on a long trip and counting on it I would replace the poles

It's small and light. Not like ultra light though. Packed up small enough for several uses. I would recommend this tent to everyone!

I'm not sure how heavy this is exactly, but you'll be just find carrying it on a plane when folded down. It's VERY light, maybe 1-2 pounds.
