4 years later I am still on world tour and have just put an order in for another Gossamer.
I have a few tricks for reducing the pack weight to under 2 pounds. If your interested, just ask...

at Campmor Summary:
I have been using a Eureka Gossamer for 2 years of motorcycle touring and have found it a great tent.
Durable - It still looks like new after considerable usage. No signs of weather wear, no tears, no broken seams, no defects.
Minimal - It is just big enough for a 5'6 150 pounder and a Gregory Forester backpack with 20 pounds. I have on occasion managed to fit in a small girl too ;) Don't plan on sitting straight up however. It isn't a home, just a place to sleep.
Easy - The Good - It takes me about 5 minutes to setup and 2 to take down. The Bad - It comes with some 9 stakes, adding considerable weight and setup time. The Fix - With a few mods. I have managed to drop the requirement to 3 stakes and still handle heavy winds and rain. This seems to be a big issue for some, so if you got one of these tents and want to know how to modify it just ask (crap@onebox.com).
Actually today I just bought a sierra designs ultra light year for comparison but think I will be keeping with my eureka. Seems to be lighter and smaller and easier.

at Lacke and Joys Summary:
Love the wieght in the pack,about 3 lbs very easy to set up even in the wind. It handles condensation fairly well handles wind very well, Ive used this tent in the summer fall and even winter. has handled moderate rain well . Have yet to tackle a WI spring rainstorm yet. Once again what you save in wieght you lose in headroom and roll around space. If your a restless thrasher dont buy this tent but if you want to put on some miles and just sleep then this ones for you. Customer Service:

Perfect for solo w/dog trips. Fast, small, and inexpensive. Been through some pretty good wind and rain tests. Will stay with this manufacturer unless something really special comes along. Similar Products Used:

this tent takes up very little space in my bag, and weighs less than 3 lbs. i requires 7 stakes minimum, so setup in rocky areas requires some crafty guying. and the fly does get condensation, but it is EASY to shake off in the morning. excellent for the solo hiker who wants to cover some ground.
