At nearly 20 lbs it isn't for backpacking, but I very much enjoy having it for canoe-camp, car camp, etc. Tough tent, I trust it to stand up to weather, young boys (6, 9, 10). I typically take lighter tents mountaineering so this is a luxury to have a larger yet every bit as protective tent for trips when weight isn't critical.
