I’ve had that MSR as well. Found it a little cramped for 2. I find 1.3kg heavy for that level of comfort. That is one of the limitations. The other is that all lightweight self supporting tents have very limited height to them. I don’t enjoy crawling out of a tent anymore. I’m looking at the seek outside cimarron tent. One pole if there aren’t any trees with some decent canopy, or use hiking poles if you do some of that as well. Most importantly it stands 6 feet tall. It also has a large enough “vestibule” area that you can sit in to sit the weather out. Only weighs a kilo without the pole. The pole only weighs 300 grams. I realise that it’s more a shelter without the nest that they’re developing. Not sure how heavy that will be yet. I wouldn’t bring it if I’d go on my own, but I’m not so I’ll just split the tent from the nest between the 2 of us.
