I am looking to lighten my pack load this year and am considering purchasing either the Zpacks Duplex Tent or the HMG Echo II. Both are Cuben Fiber tents that would drop my current pack load a couple of pounds.

The ZPacks tent uses a lighter weight Cuben Fiber resulting in a lighter overall pack weight with the possible issue of it not being a sturdy as the HMG which uses a thicker wall and floor material. It also does not use a double wall construction so condensation might be an issue. I do like the double vestibule entry better than the HMG.

The HMG has a nicer floor bathtub design in my opinion since it is more rectangular with less possible pressure against pulling seams if you get to near the sides of the tub. The end entry isn't my preference and headroom appears to be less than the ZPacks.

Anyone out there with experience on either tent that could toss me some thoughts.

Much appreciated.
