I have a Timberlight A Frame I bought for backpacking and now use in the
kayak.  It weighs about 4lbs and packs about 6x18" or so.  I dislike the way
the mosquito netting hangs down and gives you very little room.  There's no
way to hold it  up frpm the outside.  I'm going to experiment with some sort
of sticks/stakes/posts in the 4 corners from the inside to see if I can hold
it up that way.  If you're out with someone else, I hope the two of you are
very, very friendly as it is really a one person tent.  One the other hand,
I also have the annex extension which I really like a lot but I don't pack
it on tour.
