How small does it pack down and how heavy is it, appropriate for backpacking?

I dont have exact measurements but it packs down quite small (about the size of a folded up poncho) the bag that it comes with is big enough to pack cord and stakes. It is under a pound (without extra cord and stakes). As far as being used for backpacking everyone has their own idea about what is appropriate, with that said i use it for Fair weather winter backpacking as my shelter (i live in the northeast) I will also keep it in by bag for other seasons as an insurance policy.

Weighs about 7 ounces and, being a small tarp, can be folded or rolled to a small size. Suitable for backpacking, David

Packs down to under a pound with tent pegs. Depends on if you roll it or fold it. If folded it is about the size of a 1 gallon zip lock. It will fit in your backpack while taking up minimal space. My husband has tested it and loves it. It seems to be a great choice for backpacking.

Very Backpackable. I use it over my hammock. Very versatile shelter. I am going to add a pair of tie tapes to the center points of two opposite sides.A huge value.

It packs down to an 11inch by 3inch(diamiter) cylinder. Don't remember the exact wieght but its not too bad. The tieouts are an added bonus, most cheaper tarps come with the metal eyelits which tear fabric. For the price there's definetly nothing better on the market, bought mine and cycled across the country with it by my side.

Yes it is easy to pack is warm , is easy to carry, I would recommend it. I don't know how small you want it to be but it gets as small as a sleeping bag can get.

The bag's huge--it's not heavy, but it's not light weight either. It might be a bit much for a backpacking trip, unless you plan to bring back Sasquatch in it. It holds ALL of my car-camping gear--tent, tarp, sleeping bag, air mat, etc.

I don't have an exact number, but I believe it's around 10lbs. For backpacking, a 3-person tent would ideally be split between at least 2 people, and having 2 people pack the tent would not be a problem.

Its big. Its not necessarily for backpacking. In the original compression sack the bag is about 11x6inches. Otherwise you can compress it down to about 8X5 inches. The circumference barely compresses. Its a thick bag.

I don't have it handy but I would say around a pound. It is very light weight and compact. If you are looking for something to keep you warm in 50 degree weather this is too thin. If you are looking for something that will be good for backpacking and used in reasonably nice climates, this is definitely a good purchase. I have taken mine all over. I would say the warmth is about equivalen to a slightly thicker flannel sheet. I did my research before buying and this was the best option in terms of space. If you don't care about warmth, the only thing I have used that is smaller is the silk sleeping sacks...but also expensive. I think you will be happy with this item.

Very light and small enough to fold up and put in a backpack. Would be okay for smaller people.

This tent is designed for backpacking. The size of packed tent is small to fit in a backpacking bag. The poles are heavy though. Too heavy for me, but I'm myself 99 lb. Overall it is a good backpacking tent if you don't count every single gram.

No not that much. Packs not that big. Maybe 20-25lb. Quality craftsmanship is good but design of pockets for small gear is not good. I had to use my own water bladder. I didn't think the pack was worth the price. Scott

It was not that heavy and rolls up into a small pouch. It is not waterproof. I think you can get away with it for backpacking, but the rain???

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

It's light and fairly easy to pack, but it does get pretty messy once you use it a few times. I'd be prepared to clean it really well before storing it. I'd say it's probably about 3 lbs.

Its perfect for single backpacker. Weights close to nothing and easier to setup then a childerns tent. Simple. Wouldnt recommend if youre over 6 ft tall. Havent tested it out in the rain, but beach trip let me know its not waterproof. Other then that i would recommend for the price simplicity of size and weight is like packing an extra sweater.

It is lightweight and can pack very small. I actually took it with me to a beach vacation and just threw everything in a backpack. The main pieces are the movement board, the parent unit, the child unit, and the power cords (2 sets). Just be sure to take the batteries out to prevent it from accidentally coming on. I use batteries for the power backup mode on the parent unit and it accidentally came on during the road trip, draining the batteries.

I dont have a scale, but it feels like a pound or two, max. Its definitely not the lightest sleeping bag I've seen around, but it's not very heavy. For a long backpacking trip, this might not be the best choice, but for day hikes and overnight camping, it's suited me very well

I didn't look, It is very small. Backpacker size for sure. Get a bigger one if your camping not packing it in.

It comes in a mid sized box but it is heavy. I wouldn't recommend backpacking with it.
