Your typical mountain-climbing tent weighs 9-10 pounds. A decent camping tent will go 15-20 pounds. This one? 54 pounds.

(Don't worry, Alice. You won't have to carry it -- it comes with a wheeled bag, just like your matched luggage.)

Why, then, do we want a heavier tent? I'll tell you. First off, this baby has over seven feet of clearance in the center and over six in the corners,, which means you won't be bent over and stumbling around like a jackass. Secondly, it sleeps eight. It has built-in shelf units. It has a loft for your gear. Essentially, this tent lets you enjoy not only the hiking, but the camping as well - an oft-overlooked part of the enjoyment of the outdoors.

You aren't in the Boy Scouts anymore -- there's no need to squeeze yourself into a tiny tent and spend the whole night listening to the mouth-breather next to you. Get outdoors and do it in style!
