TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Main Pole 183g
Fly 799g
Mesh Inner 366g
Solid Inner 423g
Pegs + Bag 119g
Cross Poles 345g
Stuffsack 20g
Tyvek footprint 136g

Total with solid inner plus cross poles = 1889g

Total with mesh inner no cross poles = 1487g

Crosspoles are only necessary if snow camping. Otherwise 2 guy lines are perfect for strong wind.

Edit you should include a groundsheet though

The reason for my question on this one was would I go and buy a Scarp 1 or go with my Soulo.
I don't think the difference in the end was wide enough to warrant spending $400.

I bought my Scarp based on price - if I could afford a Soulo I would have bought that instead.

Keep in mind they are (essentially) both 4-season shelters. There would be little advantage in having both.

I'm hearing you Strider, the only reason this came up for me was because someone told me the Scarp 1 was 1.7 or 1.8 and I thought ok, that's 580g less than my Soulo, which is a good margin.
But, when you add in reality with a few other things the margin closes and that 2.368kg is actually ok knowing you have a ball tearer of a tent.
