On Massdrop this morning Big Sky’s Wisp one person tent @ 567 grams (300 grams in Cuben!) for US $159.99 & US$11.75 postage: http://bigskyproducts.com/big-sky-wisp-1p-trekking-pole-super-bivy-tent.aspx This has got to be good value, and must start to make you question why you might still be lugging around that perhaps 2 kg tent. There is even room in the vestibule for your pack and Jack Russell!

Thanks. I have made a note of that on the post. I would love to try one out for review on the website if you would like to supply me one.
I visited this site Steve.
Considerably more expensive than you suggest.
In cuben, with all the options and freight, well over $800 Au.
Delivery alone $50, for something so light and compact.
You needed to get it when it was on Massdrop Steve – or make one of your own out of Tyvek for $20 or so, as I do!
