Hi. I am looking to buy a 2 man tent. Features I value are lightweight, packs down small, roomy when assembled, good in the rain, and hopefully fairly priced. I would be willing to spend around $350 if you all agree that some tents really are worth it but would rather find something that fits the bill for under $250. Also, does anyone has experience with using just a footprint and fly when camping? Some of these tents have that option and I don't know if it is something i'd take advantage of. By the way, I usually camp in temperatures above freezing. I am pretty short (5'4") and if I share a tent it would mainly be with someone around the same height. Here's a list of what I am looking at so far:

Kelty Salida: $159, 2 man, 4 lb, 8 oz, 88 x 55 inches, 1 door

REI Passage 2 Tent: $159, 2 man, 5lb, 5oz, 90x 54 inches

MSR Hubba Hubba 2P tent: $329.95, 2 man, 4lb, 8 oz, 84 x 49 inches

Big Agnes Seedhouse SL2 tent: $339.95, 2 man, 3lb, 1oz, 84 x 52 inches

Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2: $369.95, 2 man, 2lb, 10oz, 86 x 52 inches

Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 $399.95: 2 man, 3lb, 7 oz, 90 x 52 inches, roomier, both recommend footprint sold separately

Marmot Limelite 2 person tent: $219, 2 man, 5lb, 88 x 54 inches, comes with footprint, and you can just setup footprint + fly in warm conditions! Check if weight includes footprint

Marmot Early Light 2 person tent: $229, 2 man, 5 lb, 5 oz, but 3 lb 6 oz with footprint plus fly, 2 doors vs 1 on limelite.

Sierra Designs Flash 2: 2 person, $339, 4 lb 6 oz, 85 x 50 inches, fly connected to tent always. 2 doors

North Face Tadpole: 2 person, $219, 5 lb, 4 oz, pitch sold separately plus fly/poles: 3 lb 11 oz, 85 x 50 inches.

Big Agnes Jack Rabbit: 2 person, $299, 4 lb 5 oz, 90 x 52, 2 lb 15 oz with just footprint/fly/poles.

Thanks so much for anyone who can chime in with their advice!”
