Sierra Designs Meteor Lite 2 tent pitches grams, gets down to bikepackable weight

Looking for a two-person, pitch-anywhere freestanding tent that’s light enough to throw on the bike? The updated Meteor Lite 2 drops a whopping 10oz off the original to come in at just 3lb 5oz (1.5kg) without giving up space or features.Advertisements

It uses a two-door design with a vestibule off either side when you stake down the fly. The clever attachment points even allow you to partially roll the fly down to give you a view without completely uncovering the tent.
