2 person tent recommendations? Help!

[Cannonball]

I went with a Tarptent Triple Rainbow

others Id look at are Slingfin or a Durston X-mid 2 if you are ok with trekking pole tents

I just impulse bought my first "backpacking" tent on sale from Scheel's.

Nemo Tracker 2P OSMO Ultralight Backcountry Tent

With a blend of technical features and a nimble, packable weight, Tracker OSMO™ is a versatile shelter for warm days chasing early-season

I'm excited to try it out next week for elk season...

REI Half Dome 2+, myself my girlfriend and both fit comfortably and I am 6'6 and 250 pounds (my feet do hit the end but no biggie, learn to live with it at this height).. Not the lightest but could do worse for $300.

Heres a spreadsheet I made while tent shopping. I wanted a 3+ season tent for backpacking with my 2 girls and roomy enough to share with my brother in law on backcountry hunts:

Thanks for the info, very helpful

I went with the Cooper Spur HVUL2. Honestly not sure I would want to share it with anyone, not even my wife lol. It would be doable but you’ll smell each other all night long.

I kind of wish I went with the heavier duty Kuiu offerings.

This next week both the Ba and Kuiu will be on steep discounts.

Excellent time to shop for a tent, considering REI is having their big labor day sale going on right now. I use a 3 person Big Agnes Copper Spur.

I will be trying to find a deal if the sales are gonna be coming up

My brother bought a Tigerwall 3P from Big Agnes. It is lighter than copper spur bc it is not freestanding - u must stake down the foot to erect it. Kinda sucks if u have to move it around... but a good tent at that price and weight. I love my copper spur 1 but not what u are looking for

Copper spurs are way too fragile for me.
I would not want to have serious winds or weather in one.
Have had Nemo’s and msr hubbas and they’re better than copper spurs and currently have a mountain star 2.
Its the toughest or them all so far but wish it was a little longer.

Above your $ limit, but Zpacks tents cuts your weight down.

For anything the Big Agnes Copper Spur will do you can add the Nemo Hornet to the same list.
Although I much prefer the great many tipi tent options all other things being equal
