To a backpacker, the weight and size of a product is essential information. You need to know exactly how much everything weighs in order to pack carefully to the exact weight of the pack you want to carry. Too much weight will make for a very grueling trip. Tents are one item that can vary dramatically so it is very important to do some careful research and shopping. Certain models are intended specifically for backpacking and are compact and lightweight. Start there, but also keep in mind that if two or more people will be sharing the same tent on the trip, divide the tent pieces among you.
