From Backcountry.com:
"The Big Agnes Sarvis SL 2-Person 3-Season Tent combines single- and double-wall designs to reduce weight without compromising breathability. This hybrid construction includes a mesh interior on the front half of the tent and a full vestibule. Even with a slightly oversized floor to provide extra space for gear, the Sarvis SL 2 weighs only 3lb 14oz. Its seam-taped bathtub floor keeps water out, making it perfect for backpacking in the spring, summer and fall. Who says you have to get a crammed tent to cut weight With the SL 2, you get tons of space in a lightweight package."

From REI:
"Big Agnes® has designed the Sarvis SL2+ with extra room across the middle--in other words--a little extra elbow room. The Sarvis SL features a freestanding, three-season, superlight hybrid design that combines single- and double-wall construction. Hybrid construction merges the weight savings of a single-wall tent with the flexibility and ventilation of a double wall. Fly, bathtub floor and single-wall section are made from lightweight ripstop nylon with a silicone treatment and a polyurethane coating. Double-wall tent body is made from no-see-em mesh offering lots of great ventilation and views outside. DAC Featherlite® hub/pole system has press-fit connectors and lightweight hubs. Cross-pole increases headroom and stability. Ridge, foot and side vents in single-wall section combined with mesh tent walls offer ventilation when the fly is closed. Vestibule zipper has protective storm flap. Includes stuff sacks and lightweight V-peg stakes. Footprint (sold separately) extends the life of your tent by protecting it from abrasive wear and tear. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."

From EMS:
"Ounce counters can rejoice: the 2-person Sarvis is a winning blend of minimalism (max weight: 4 pounds 14 ounces) and comfort (32.5 square feet of floor space). Hybrid single- and double-wall construction saves weight. Freestanding design with front vestibule. Single-wall portion has two ridge vents and one foot vent. Full-mesh walls for excellent cross-ventilation. Single hub/pole system with DAC aluminum hub. Plastic clips attach the tent body to the pole frame for quick and easy setup. Floor and fly are 30-denier nylon ripstop with a polyurethane and silicone coating. All seams are taped."

"I have a favorite cool weather tent, but I found out the hard way, on a section hike of the AT, that it’s simply too heavy to carry for multi-day backpacking and that it lacks the ventilation necessary for muggy Summer nights on the trail. So I went looking for something lighter and more “airy”, and checked out probably 20 possible tents."
