Why is it that you think that is the best tent ever?

Does it come with a butler?
For the backpacker that has everything....

Well ok...
If you are looking for a lightweight 2 person tent, I suppose that is an option, but I would put up Lightheart Gear's Duo tent against the Mojo UFO tent and call the Duo better.
Only 5 ounces difference in the listed weights and the Duo has more listed space at a price of $300 vs $1800.
It's a great tent, I just ordered one.

dont like the front vestibule.ill take the lightheart solong for another 5 oz.
and i'll have money left for a butler.
The best tent is the one that comes with its own porter.

Where did they hide the gold? And there are a lot of lighter shelters out there. Also it looks too finicky to me - too many poles, too many stakes, I like a simple shelter.
mmm - I've been comfortable and dry in some pretty awful rain and snow in my MSR Carbon Reflex and Hubba tents - assuming your tent is sited well and pitched well and you are dry then I think it is much more important to have a very comfortable sleeping bag than a super spendy tent. You can be pretty cozy and happy for a lot less but go for it if you want.

Two better options:
Same tent is at Ebags for $1,199, or
version of this tent that weights 1 pound more is on sale at REI for $320.

or make your own, lighter version for about $300
If you tried to make a very close copy of that Mojo, maybe the final version will cost you $300.The first two or three prototypes will push the budget over that...
Good Lord. For that price it better come with a built in kitchen, fried chicken, homemade mac n cheese, a good ol' mess of smoky tastin' collard greens, sweet jesus' jalapeno cornbread, a pan of cathead biscuits with plenty of butter and homemade apple sauce, and don't forget the Dr. Pepper. And I ain't waitin' up for ya either. On second thought, I'll do all that, save myself about 800 bucks and unless that price comes down level with my Keens, you ain't gittin' any. But if ya say please I might give ya a biscuit. Said with love.
For that much money, it better come with a Sherpa and hot & cold running chamber maids!

So I can make a Lightheart Cuben SoLong 6 that weighs less than this tent, has more square footage of space. Has 2 doors and comes with a stuff sack. And, it costs over $1000.00 less
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We have a 20% off sale starting tomorrow

Best tent ever.
This is WAY old news. The tent was introduced 12-18 months ago as I recall.
Yes. Judy wins hands down. With a TarpTent or 2 close behind.

I'd have to imagine that this would be like sleeping in a $1700 plastic bag.
I purchased the So Long 6 in cuben fiber from Judy, love it.............have a hole I need to repair or send back if I cannot fix it. One of the things that I really like with cuben fiber is that it packs tons lighter when wet (vs sil nylon), great fabric!
Got mine with two doors, big luxury but nice to have.

Yes but your SoLong Cuban fiber does not have a luxury name like Mojo!!!. I named my Solong standard camouflage "Ultima" and now it worth double the price.

You just need to send it back for repairs - make sure it's clean, and include a check for the cost of the return shipping. I don't charge for repairs unless you do something totally stupid. (like cooking inside the tent, or leaving a dog inside that freaks out and runs through the mesh!)

The best tent ever is the one that works for you. Price, setup, space, materials, domestic or imported - there is no ONE best tent. everyone has different needs.

But I do like to think mine are pretty good

To be fair, all 3-season tents are plastic bags.
