MSR Flylite 2

Toothbrush handle trimmed; check.  Stove fuel dialed; check.  Featherweight shelter complete with MSR’s attention to detail; double check.  Flylite’s scant twenty-five ounces yield huge potential for minimalist success. The tent surprisingly stretches out to 29sq ft. of floor space, though taller travelers need to tune their sleeping arrangement to the trekking pole-supported, open front design (a small minipole is included for rear structure).  Durashield fabric coating protects your investment while an optional footprint works well in less Spartan campground settings (when weight is not mission-critical).  With less fabric to go around, determining wind direction before pitching is important in optimizing weather protection.
