How much does it weigh? Is it actually good for backpacking?

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

Hi Ellen. Not sure how much it weighs..maybe 3-5lbs at most...I didn't use it for backpacking (motorcycle trip). Set up was easy and it handled the elements well...Light rain for 3 nights....

The typical guideline for backpacking shelter weight is 3lbs per person. At 7-8lbs for two people, it runs a bit heavier than the ideal, but not out of range. The excess weight for this tent is found in the poles (fiberglass, not aluminum) and the floor (a thick type of polyester).

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

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.

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.

This packable backpack is super lightweight, I used it for a backpacking trip, where I packed very light but wanted to bring a day pack for my shorter hikes. The backpack is great and well worth the cost!

I don't know the exact weight but I can tell you I wouldn't want to carry it around like a walking stick all day. However, if you're tracking in to a spot from your truck and setting up you'll love it. I would strap it to my pack and hike in one or two kilometers no problem. Super stable and when used from a sitting position it's like shooting off a bench. I highly recommend it.

I'd say just a few pounds, 3-4. It's more awkward shaped than weighty. If you are taking it camping no problem but I doubt you would want to be backpacking it. Ours stays in the camper and we LOVE it.

I don't think it's overly heavy. Wouldn't plan on backpacking with it. But, it can be carried with one hand.

Its lite. Maybe 3.5 lbs give or take a half pound. I wouldnt recommend using it for hikes because its too big to strap to your pack and its cumbersome to carry by hand.

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 don't know exactly how much it weighs but it is EXTREMELY light weight. You can pick it up with one hand with no trouble AND it is no problem to carry it on your back as it was designed to do. My husband has a bad back and he has no trouble with it at all. It is no heavier (or maybe less) than an empty back pack.

Its very light. I don't have a scale but id say mine weighs as much as a normal pillow. Its so light that I don't consider its weight when packing a backpack for a camping trip.

6+ pounds at least, and its MASSIVE, it takes up half of my pack. its really nice for recreational camping, but not backpacking.

As I recall, it's 7 or 8lbs as advertised. Heavy if your hiking with it, likely.. but I bought it for motorcycle camping, so was light compared to all the rest of my gear. Lighter than my leather! :)

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.

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.

Ours got lost in shipping during our move so I do not have an accurate measurement for weight for it though I thought it was pretty light compared to the grinders you get that are pre-filled. There are mini grinders that would probably work well though for backpacking. As much as I loved the grinder, I am a runner and understand the every gram counting.
