How much does this weigh? Is it a good option for a 10 day backpacking trip?

As someone who spends a lot of time in the backcountry, the best coffee option is Starbucks Via Instant - ultralight and packable.

Fairly light. A bit bulky and fragile if you plan to stick it inside of a back pack And I still ended up using paper filter

It will definitely be a good option for a backpacking trip ! It is very light and easy to clean

It is extremely light. If you already use hario pour over, then you'll be pleased with the results. The cup is slightly more acidy

It is light, but by no means ultralight. I don't have a scale, so I can't weight it (it's not heavier than any other solution for non-instant coffee). If coffee is essential, I think it would be worth it to take it on a ten day trip. If it nests inside your cookpot that would be ideal. I use it daily at home. Things to consider: It take considerable water to wash the grounds out of the fine mesh adequately; you would want a pot that pours well (like a kettle); you would want some way to protect it because of its awkward shape. It is really a wonderful product. For backpacking, a smaller 1 cup sized version would be supreme. It is light, but by no means ultralight.

I weighs very little, I would think it would be okay for backpacking. I can say for sure you will have some great coffee to drink.

It's super light. I'm a coffee professional and always trying new products. I traveled with this myself because it was so easy to pack and super convenient to use.

For backpacking, I prefer to use the acrylic model with disposable paper filters. While it's likely this does weigh a bit more, the real problem is cleaning it each morning - if you are going to be near water the whole time and don't mind the messiness of it, it would work. Much easier to put the paper & grounds in your fire/trash and not worry about the cleaning!

I just used my carry-on scale to weigh the chair and it weights an even 10 pounds. It's extremely light for all the weight it can withstand.

I have backpacked, and wouldn't want to carry this. It's light weight, suitable for backpacking, but the poles fold only in half, which make the package unwieldy to carry. It is very durable and stayed dry in light rain, but I would recommend a small tarp and a good ground cloth for my dogs.

it is a great backpack, however i really don't believe it will hold up 10 lbs or more on an extended basis. I don't think it's meant for constant weight although I might try to use it to see. I am in the same boat looking for a lightweight but sturdy backpack for my child for school everyday. But I do love this bag for on the go purpose.

It's light if you're holding it for a short while. But it's fairly heavy duty, as it has withstood numerous ugly rainstorms (I use it to cover my firewood stacks with and have it bolted to them). I would feel safe placing one with my gear to hike for only a couple of miles.

This tent is intended for car camping, at around 7.5 lbs. it's not light weight. It may be OK for short backpacking trips, but you wouldn't want to carry it for days. Look for a tent designed for back packing, they cost more but weigh half of this one.

According to the manufacturer's website, 10.25 lbs., so 10 lbs. is right on the mark. It doesn't feel this heavy, though, because it's well balanced for carrying.

Under product dimensions it states that it is 10 lbs. .... but the shipping weight is listed as 8.6 lbs. Either way it is a bit heavy for a backpacker.

I would say about 10 lbs, it is not a backpacking tent. Only for car or motorcycle camping

It's 6.75 pounds , personally I use a pack wheel so I carry it no problem but it's on a wheel cart. It depends on how strong you are and how much is already in your backpack, for me it would be too heavy with all the other gear i carry. However this tent is great, perfect size for one person, with gear. The best gear i have found for just hiking with a pack is a hammock. Good luck my friend

I googled it. Yep, 2 lbs. That doesn't seem like that much to me but if you're an ultralight backpacker then you might look at something a tad lighter. However you don't have to carry any fuel for it so it kind of comes out in the wash IMHO. Hope this helps. Happy trails.

I don't think it's overly heavy. Wouldn't plan on backpacking with it. But, it can be carried with one hand.

I think this tent weighs too much for backpacking trips plus too awkward. Weight is about 7 lbs i would guess.

I dont have a scale, but it feels like a pound or two, max. Its definitely not the lightest sleeping bag I've seen around, but it's not very heavy. For a long backpacking trip, this might not be the best choice, but for day hikes and overnight camping, it's suited me very well

It is very light. We used it for our trip to Rome and would stuff it in our backpack and it was fine. Not sure if it's excatly 2 pounds. But it is quite light.

I would say it's no more than 10 lbs. The construction of the tripod is very good and sturdy once you get everything up and running.

It weighs 1 lb and 10 oz. It's compact and easy to travel with. We love it.
