I am in the market for a light weight (under4 LB.) 3 season tent for backpacking, single person use,in the Southeast mainly Georgia. Trips will be weekends  and exteneded sometimes up to 4 days max. I need some room, ventillation and ease of set up.

I have weighed the Clip Flashlight and Walrus Arch rival (tent,fly,poles)and they both weigh witin 1 ounce. It appears the Archrival is roomier,better ventillated and with the pole sleeves can be set up in the rain with the fly pre-attrached.  the only draw back may the awkward entrance.

Does anyone have any experience or reccomendations regarding the Archrival, flashlight or another light tent?
