Hey, I've been borrowing my brothers golite nest tent for a while but will no longer be able to use it.
I have been looking for a while to replace it but golite no longer makes this tent, it's honestly the best tent I've ever used as far as weight saving while still being roomy.
Used it in Utah, was great to leave the tarp off and look at the stars, used it in New Zealand and kept me nice and dry.
So I'm looking for essentially the same tent if anyone has any suggestions, hell I'd buy it off one of you if you have one and dont want it anymore.

1. lightweight, prefer no poles needed.
2 affordable, no $600 sylnylon mountain hardware type garbage.
any suggestions?
>TL;DR, looking for ultralite, affordable golite nest replacement.

GoLite went bankrupt and I don't think they are coming back. Too bad because they made some top notch gear at good prices.

A Tarptent protrail is probably pretty close, but almost certainly heavier. Their stuff is well made and well thought out though.

I have spent some nights in a Seek Outside BT2 and can tell you that it fits the ultralight minimalist niche really well. Probably lighter than your GoLite and just as stout.

Last ditch would be to get hold of the Jimmy Tarps guy and see if he would make you a copy. He does good work and is still small enough to take custom orders, and be priced right.

Go lite is coming back with a different name. I forget what but they emailed me to get the word out.

Lot of good that email did them.

looks pretty good, but is there any that dont require hiking poles? I hate having to carry those things. the golite I can just tie it up with the guylines or 550 cord.

I'll take Innawoods for a thousand, Alex.

What are tent poles?

the MSR Twing solves half of your tent problem. you just need to add a bug net, anti-creepy crawly unit underneath
