I found this review fairly useful for general info about the tent: http://ourjourneysflow.com/marmot-force-2p-first-impression/
I'm wondering if this would be suitable for bikepacking, though. 1585g seems a bit on the hefty side for ultralight, but maybe this would be a decent compromise for the price, without breaking the bank on a cuben fiber shelter?
Also, anyone have thoughts on using a compression sack to reduce the packed size of this a bit (with the poles packed separately), or other suggestions for packing this on a bike?

JWCookIn my experience the benefit of the free standing tent comes at the cost of a higher weight. Freestanding can be useful if you camp a lot in areas with tent platforms. If you don't need free standing, there are lighter options.
I went with a big sky and for a 2 man, free standing tent, with ground sheet, I'm looking at 1.5kg
