I got the Shangri-La 5 Tent for my birthday this year and wanted to give a review. It's total weight is about 6 pounds and it can hold a family of 5 (kids under 5 feet tall) easily. The part that surprised me the most beside the weight is how well it held up in a severe storm. With winds were 60-70 mph and yet that tent did not budge. The pole in the middle is solid and the stakes held firm. We had about 6+ inches of rain and we stayed completely dry even when the rain was blowing sideways. Let me know if you have any more question
