Hilleberg and others

Hilleberg tents are pretty light for the capacity. They are actually a lot like Stevenson tents, which are pretty popular with the ultralight crowd. But Hilleberg doesn't meet the fire-resistance standards in some states. I talked to Bo Hilleberg (he goes by "Hilleberg the Tentmaker", as in "Omar the Tentmaker") about this last year and he says it is actually the required tests - they are too expensive to carry out for the small number of states that require them, although he claimed the tents are as fire resistant as any on the market.

His tents are generally tunnel tents, which means they are not free-standing (same with Stevenson). I used to have a Sierra Designs Sleeve Flashlight, which was 3.5 pounds with stakes. It was a reasonably generous 1 person or "friendly" 2 person tent. The current version, the Clip Flashlight, is 5+ pounds with stakes, so I can't recommend it for your use. This despite the much larger use of screening in the walls, partly because of the larger fly (to provide a small vestibule), partly because the plastic clips are heavier than the old pole sleeves, and partly because with the old version you could set it up with 4 pegs and the new one requires a dozen to pitch properly.

But several other companies have tents similar to the old Sleeve Flashlight that are quite light. Look in the Campmor and Sierra Trading Post catalogs.
