Incredibly light (although not the lightest tent on the market, the title of which goes to the Summit Specialist Duo), the Sierra Designs Mojo UFO tent weighs one pound and 11 onces. Made out of a fancy fiber known as cuben fiber, an ultralight, highly durable fabric used in sailcloth, the integrated pitching poles are fashioned out of pure carbon fiber.
The Sierra Designs Mojo UFO tent will debut at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market.
