Price, durability and weight. Choose two.

Also, consider a 3 person tent for two people. The industry is consistently tight in this regard.

The Alps Lynx Two is what I used by myself for 7 nights in the Desolation Wilderness. Durable, inexpensive, and heavy. Its a fine choice. Big Agnes makes light/expensive tents, but they can be fragile. Msr and North face strike more of a balance IMHO.

I started a similar thread, so I'm curious what you come up with, especially if you consider a 3 person tent! Let us know what you choose and why! My problem is my height.... You should be okay at 5 foot something.
