Just for some heads up info, Black Diamond will begin selling some EPIC/SilNylon constructed tents that use Bibler's designs such as the iTent & Awahnee starting Jan 1st, '04. Check 'em out here...

Personally I use a sub 2 pound tent by Dancing Light Gear, but these would be great alternatives for 3-Season use. The Bibler tents are much more bombproof than these though, and shouldn't be confused with these lighterweight 3-season cousins.
Pretty cool though.
