I don't get this thread at all.
First, who says it's US made?
Second, what's it being compared to?
Third, what does it cost?
Fourth, what's it weigh?
Only price I see for it is $120, not $95, and it's being remaindered from a normal price of $199.
Competition would be
Big Agnes Fly Creek at 2 lb. 5 oz. and $390 or
Big Agnes Seedhouse at 3 lb. and $350.
Only weight I can find for the Stoic is 5.37 lbs.
You pay your money and take your choice. There's always something cheaper. We've been very happy with our Seedhouse for backpacking and bike touring. Excellent tent. It's kind of a cost-per-perfect-undisturbed-night kind of thing. We think the tent is pretty cheap, especially considering the cost of 5-star hotels in the high mountains. A few years ago, we spent a ton of money and took 15 lbs. out of our gear. For us, that was worth doing. For someone else, probably not.
