This is the coolest product making it into camping. I have just been sold on it big time. I wish I could just afford to replace all my heavy stuff with this material that is less htan 1.5 oz per square yard.
I did however rationalize these:
SilShelter:

G-pack:

Packing System:

These products alone save me about 5-6 pounds. A new down bag saved me another. Not to mention space.
Now off on a tangent...
If you really want a trick pack and are not hell bent on really low weight (it is pretty light though), then check this out. Top/Botton/Front access, adjustable harness... the list goes on.

Another space/wight saver is this item. Assuming that you are not dealing with super grungy water supply and can wait 30 minutes, this is killer:
