What is the lightest roof tent out there? I really want one but the weight up high worries me a lot. I have a sprung over FJ40 and I dont need to add dramaticly to it poor road manners.
 
I believe the lightest tent around is currently the James Baroud Horizon Vision at around 85 lbs. Weight savings come from an aluminum frame (most are steel) and the fact that it does not require an additional rain fly as the material is inherently waterproof.

When comparing weights be sure to look at the tent sizes - there is quite a range now with all of the Chinese-made ones in the market.
 
Sweet, thanks. I really love the idea... I just worry about the weight so high up on my already top heavy cruiser. I REALLY would love to integrate a pop up into the hardtop someday. But I need to find another hardtop to play with... not going to risk mine if it doesn't workout the way I have in my head.
