    Very cool setup! What's the weight on that one?

    I think I'm becoming more of a weight weenie, I'm doing the JMT this summer and I'm so sad I must carry a 2.5 pound!!! bear canister. Price of admission to visit paradise I suppose... ;p

    Isn't 1.2MTNXL the lightest weight fabric I would need for weighing 205#?

    It weighs 401g (14.145 oz). I think the MTN 1.2 and Hexon 1.2 are the lightest options for someone over 200lbs. I'm 225lbs, so in the same boat. The lighter 1.1/1.0 oz fabrics seem to be limited to under 200lbs.
    I'm not shooting for UL as most of my camping is off of a motorcycle, but I do appreciate when my gear is lighter weight and takes less space.

    Still looking? If so you may want to bump it at least once every week. Items that are inactive are subject to being removed from the Market Place area, it allows members to know you are still interested and it will keep the moderators from "pinging" you! (Bumps mean to respond in the post)

    Thanks for weighing. Do you know what an equivalent weight is for a MTN 1.2 would be? Or HEX 1.2? Is one material better than the other?
