One opinion:

As pjclinch says. The differences between them and regular Tracksters are subtle, apart from the reflective trim.

What an interesting way of looking at things My old two person tent weights about 3Kg although a good kg of that is the steel pegs so there's opportunities for weight saving if I ever decide to use that tent again for cycle touring. ATM my Wild Country Zepheros 1 is just about roomy enough for me. I've also got one of those cheap "coffin" tents and I can actually get changed in it even though it's impossible to sit up in it. So far it's not been used in anger, merely put up on the lawn to check how waterproof it is.Vorpal wrote: ↑18 Jun 2021, 12:34pm I carry a 2 kg tent for the space & warmth. There are hills in Norway that I can barely get up unladen, so if takes me a bit longer to do a day's cycle on tour, so what? A super duper fancy light weight one-person tent could save me almost a kg, and I would curse the choice when trying to take off wet leggings while lying down in a tent that doesn't have room to sit up.
