Just saw on SG's instagram, they are coming out with a 2 person 4 season tent that weighs in at 4 lbs and 4 oz. Anyone have a teaser photo for me? Cool stuff.

stoneglacier: There’s a lot of really awesome things goin on right here. SG Designer, Kurt Racicot (@kurtracicot), has been testing his newest frame on a recent Montana sheep hunt with his dad. Stay tuned next week for the release of our newest products including our lightest frame ever!

Why do they do this?????????

I JUST bought an X-curve in my quest to build a lighter pack. Theres no way the war department is going to let me buy another frame. I may have anX-curve for sale at some point lol.
Because, in today's ultra-competitive market, where many are more "gearheads" than hardcore hunters, often due to a lack of game, huntable lands and time-money, GEAR is a BIG deal.
Many become convinced that one can BUY experience, skills, fitness and motivation and so are willing to buy, buy, buy, to get the ultimate for any forays they may take. This does make it possible for all of us to get gear we could not imagine when I started in 1964 and this is, all in all, a good thing, IMHO.
I have all I need, in fact, have sold a lot of gear and some fine mountain rifles in recent years, but, even we doddering old crocks enjoy seeing and discussing the latest gear.......and anything that keeps interest in hunting increasing is a benefit simply to keep hunting alive.
So, we just gotta suffer a bit, eh
Oh I don’t think people think gear makes them a better hunter, maybe more comfortable. I think people just like to try new things.
Ya, but if you're more comfortable you ARE a better hunter because your attention isn't focused on the discomfort. If you sleep better at night and have comfortable gear during the day, you'll last out there longer and be more focused in the process.
Man, I wish they were making a 4lb 3-person 4-season tent. I'm still using the Krux frame, will be interested to see what the lightweight frame is since I already consider the Krux to be lightweight.
I will be curious to see the design and overall square footage. There are a number of great four season 2-person tents at the 4 pound +/- range out there that are proven alpine shelters. MSR's Advance Pro 2, Big Agnes Shield 2, Rab Latok Mountain 2, etc. to name a few.
I wonder if technical apparel is next on the list for them....considering Jack Gilbert's involvement, I would not be too surprised.
I heard this move was coming on a recent podcast. Branching out into other facets of UL backcountry Gear. .....hopefully it works out for them.
