What are packaged and minimum weights?
Minimum and packaged weights are defined by American Standards and Testing Methods (ASTM)—one of the largest voluntary standards development organizations in the world. Minimum weight is the combined weight of the tent body, rainfly, and poles—the weight to check out when trying to figure out what a tent will weigh on the trail. Packaged weight includes the tent body, rainfly, poles, stakes, stuff sack, instruction manuals, pole repair sleeves, guy lines, and everything else that comes with your tent.
