Pack: Granite Gear Crown 2 (2.5 lbs, $150)
Tent: River Country Trekker 2.2, capacity for 2 people and surprisingly comfortable/durable (3.3 lbs, $70)
Sleeping bag: 2 Naturehike UL bags, I prefer a rectangle rather than a mummy (2 bags combine to 2.5 lbs, $110 each)
Pad: Klymit insulated Static V Luxe SL, I'm tall, so the extra size is important (1.3 lbs, $90 on sale)
My "Big 4" weigh under 10 lbs for a third of that price. I still want to be comfortable, but also not break the bank.
I've never had a problem with Klymit and have owned a few (replaced the basic with insulated, and then replaced that one with a larger insulated - all still work fine even after years of use).
