WHAT DOES YOUR TENT WEIGH?

The weight of a tent is one of the most important factors used
by consumers when making purchasing decisions. In the past,
tent manufacturers have independently determined which
components they included in their publicized weights. This
makes comparing tent weights between companies difficult.
Mountain Hardwear provides the minimum tent weights and
the packaged tent weights.

Minimum Weight: Minimum Weight is the total weight of the
tent body, flysheet, and poles only; it is the weight of the bare
essentials. This is the figure most often used for comparative
purposes when purchasing a tent.

Packaged Weight (Also known as Trail Weight): Packaged
Weight includes everything that comes with the tent when the
tent is purchased (less any shipping container): tent body,
flysheet, poles, tent stuff sack, pole sack, peg sack, pegs, cord,
line tighteners, user manual, repair items and any other items
included by the manufacturer other than shipping materials.
