Tarptent Double Rainbow

“ > The rapide is 28 ounces which is heavy for a UL loud out but I’ve used all three of these and still been under a 10 pound base weight. But you didn't say that. You didn't discuss tactics or compromises that you otherwise make in order to have room for a 28 oz sleeping pad in 10 lbs, you only recommended the pad. That's why "but I fit it in my <10 lb kit" is always a silly response. 28 oz for a sleeping pad is frankly absurd. The same can be said about the double rainbow. Merino base layers are heavy, and OP should not spend money on a 5 lb pack when you can have 2lb framed packs for comparable cost. I mean, OP can buy and carry whatever they like. But as long as they asked on this forum specifically, they should get the advice they came for”
