I guess we are looking at different use cases for these tents.

I hike inside and around the arctic circle, sometimes during winter time.

That my shelter, that can take the beating that this kind of climate can dish out, weighs only around 1/30th of my total equipment weight makes it an incredible deal.

And subjectively very light.

Yeah I could have framed my original response better.

I have hiked above the arctic circle but not during winter time. Then I would look towards what you are using. ;) You do seem to hike a little heavier than me, but that could be a seasonal thing. When I go for a 10 day summer trip my pack is around 19-23kg, enough stuff to deal with weather around 0C and rain storms.
