Article Summary:

Backpacking Light is including new products from small online businesses in our Outdoor Retailer coverage. Most can’t afford a booth at OR, but their new products are just as important to our readers as those from the big companies.

Henry Shires at Tarptent has really been cranking out a lot of new tents lately. Within the last eight months, he has introduced the Scarp 1, Scarp 2, and Hogback, all double-wall and all really good designs. In August 2009 he will be introducing the Moment, a single-wall solo tent with a side entry vestibule that sets up in less than a minute with two stakes and weighs just 28.5 ounces!
