Are the specs the "actual pack size'? that's another annoying thing i find. A claimed pack size and unless you are lugging around a vacusealer kit, forget it...damn thing fit in the box, once.
Sierra Designs Clip Flashlight
What's the actual size on the Nemo Morpho tent? And airbeams sound like a good idea!
The Sierra Designs Lightning-2? size?
I have a Eureka now that works great for our backpacking and state park hopping by car but it is a load even for backpacking, durable and heavily weatherproof. But it's not going anywhere on my bike unless i pull it in a trailer, and i would also prefer to go with a lighter weight as described above.
That is the tent and rainfly. Use a compression sack instead of the furnished stuff sack. Also just stuff it, don't try to roll or fold it.
Older model Lightning 2
