Is it good for backpacking? Is it 3 pounds only?

Light and portable, but a little larger than I would like for backpacking. I like these for family or organized Scout camping, but I carry a much smaller and lighter tent when we backpack.

It's a lightweight tent, but I don't think it's specifically designed for hiking. It's a 'stationary' tent. I've been camping with people with hiking tents and their tents were always sleeker in design and 'fit' for carrying. I use this tent for scout camping. I hope this helps.

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 don't think I would want to pack this very far, but it's not really designed for that. More of a unpack your car and set it up style tent. Basecamp.

Campmor lists the weight as:Minimum: 7 lbs 3 ozPackage: 8 lbs 1 ozI would consider that an average weight tent that you *could* use backpacking, but is certainly not lightweight nor ideal for backpacking.

weight is fine but cumbersome to backpack. they make backpack-friendly French presses for camping which are available at outdoor stores. I use this for the home and it does not leave the premises. good luck.

For week long backpack trip it might be a bit heavy, but for a 1-2 day trip it is fine. Have backpacked with heavier tents, so for the money you can't get much better.

i use it for backpacking. it does come with a good compression sack. it does not compress as small as some higher end bags but its as good as i have seen for the price.

I didn't weigh it personally, but I would estimate it's a little under 3lbs if not the whole 3lbs. It's worth the price

I don't really know as I haven't tried to "max out the load". I think the max I have used in it so far is about 40 lbs, and it had absolutely no issues with that. That said it's not really built for carrying massive weights. It dosn't have the extra wide heavily padded straps that you'll find on backpacking packs. If max weight is what you're looking for I'd recommend just getting some dry-sacks and packing in those in a rucksack.

It's pretty light! Maybe 10 lbs max? I'm not good at estimating, though...Still, it wasn't a problem to carry it for a while, even while hiking for 10-15 minutes.

This tent is intended for car camping, at around 7.5 lbs. it's not light weight. It may be OK for short backpacking trips, but you wouldn't want to carry it for days. Look for a tent designed for back packing, they cost more but weigh half of this one.

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???

Idk. Few lbs. even loaded it handles the weight fine. The pack is designed to carry weight on the back.

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

I googled it. Yep, 2 lbs. That doesn't seem like that much to me but if you're an ultralight backpacker then you might look at something a tad lighter. However you don't have to carry any fuel for it so it kind of comes out in the wash IMHO. Hope this helps. Happy trails.

It is very light. We used it for our trip to Rome and would stuff it in our backpack and it was fine. Not sure if it's excatly 2 pounds. But it is quite light.

Although I never weight it myself, it's roughly 3.5lbs with everything included. Only used it once, it's a very nice tent. Great for backpacking trips.

I'd say it weighs about 2 1/2 - 3 lbs it's very comfortable. Keep it tight to your backpack and you'll be ok.
