Besides the Big Sky Int'l Revolution, another that meets my idea is the MSR Access 1:

And its 2P version (which is right at 4lbs):

There's really no "wrong" answer, it just comes down to what the OP's criteria are, and what it's going to be used for.

For most fall hunting in the Rockies, a mountaineering tent isn't needed...


Thanks Brad and all for the insight.
This would be for backcountry hunting ie... packing it in on my back. Up to 3-4 miles in for campsite usually


The Big Sky International Revolution 1P seems to have the same problem with the vestibule as the Chinook. Also it's only a one man tent. I personally prefer the extra room of a 2-man tent and I'm willing to carry an extra 1/2# to get it.

I looked at the MSR Access-2 tent also. The mfg claims that it is a 4-season tent. But I'm skeptical that it's pole system could carry a heavy snow load.
