Looks to be too heavy for backpacking.
Might work in AZ specially when needing shade from the hot sun. But entirely impractical for a Colorado Rocky Mountain elk hunt. In a snow storm with some wind, it could be a nightmare. It could be the same as having no tent at all, in that situation.
Neat design though. MikeS gave you major style points and I agree. But some things that look good may not always be that practical in certain situations.
