From Backcountry.com:
"The floorless Black Diamond Beta Light Shelter protects two backpackers from the elements and only adds a scant 19-ounces to your pack. Pitch the Beta Light with the two trekking poles you already have with you, and relax in the massive 34.7sq feet of interior space. Thanks to Black Diamond's use of ultralight 30D SilNylon material, this spacious shelter packs to an incredibly small 4 x 6 inches."

"Very impressed with this tent. Incredibly light. . . and since your trekking poles will double as the upright poles, your total bulk/weight is very low. Fly material is supple and tough, and compresses very well. The design and stitching of the fly is of good quality."
