Best 2 person tent under $300.
3-3.5 season. The lighter the better. Double wall preferred but not required. What say you?
MSR hubba hubba. Might even get the old style cheaper as they have a new version out.
Definitely the Hubba Hubba hands down, if you don't want two Hammocks of course. Come on NEO where ya at, I beat ya to the punch.

How you gonna go and agree with me Lone Wolf we were on a role tonight? JK
me and gypsy love our hubba
My fiance, Loulou and I love our Hubba Hubba it's big enough that we let our 55 lb Choc. Lab/Husky mix sleep inside with us most of the time(dry weather)
I'm intrigued with the MSR missing link; the MSR Trecker with insert also appears adequate and versatile. MSR does seem to have some very good options.
I just wish MSR could get away from the orange and go with earth tones.

Hubba Hubba.
I have been thinking about getting the Big Agnes Seedhouse SL 1 or 2. The Hubba is a great tent but I hate the bright colors. Hard to stealth camp.
Hubba Hubba. gotta love it.
Are you and your fiance hobbits?
I would ask how big the biggest person is that will be sleeping in the tent. I think very highly of the Hubba Hubba, but I would not want to share it with anyone, same goes for the Seedhouse 2, which I own. I bought the Mutha Hubba for my wife and I. I will say I'm a bigger guy and I have a 50 inch chest, so I easily take up over half of the tent, my wife would hate me if I tried to cram both of us in a Hubba Hubba.
Take your partner and go to REI, set up the tent and get inside of it, see if you both fit. Then go on Ebay and save $75 on the tent.

REI quarter dome 3 person. I own it and wouldn't recommend another. It is lighter,stays very dry and has much more room and head room.
Hubba Hubba
Ditto to that. I like the tent a lot. Easy to set up. As Almost There said, It,s best to go to the outfitter and try it, then buy it on sale somewhere else. I've seen the '07 model for as little as $219. I think it has a mre durable floor than the Seedhouse2 SL. It does save a pound though. Tyvek can take care of that for the groundcloth.
Good Luck!

sierra designs lightning. Though it is 3-4 ozs. heavier than the hubba hubba.

I like my BA Emerald Mountain SL2. I like the big vestibules.
Yes the Hubba Hubba has a much more durable floor than the Seedhouse2 SL, that being said....Dave, I'd love to see you and another person spending days on end sharing a Hubba Hubba!
Like I said, if you or your partner is big...the Hubba Hubba won't be big enough,neither would the Seedhouse2 SL. You probably will need whatever is called a 3 person tent.

I just got a seadhouse sl2 2lbs 10 ounces and its green..what a plus
Tarptent Rainshadow 2 is rated as a three person tent and that extra room would come in handy when you find yourself tent-bound because of weather. Lots of space and well under three pounds. It's got 42 square feet of floor space, while many two person tents have around 30 (the Hubba Hubba has 29 square feet, according to the specs).
Tarptent Double Rainbow. Its more like a traditional tent than other tarptents, roomy, 2 doors, 2 vestibules, freestanding (with trekking poles) or staked, 2.5 lbs. You will get some condensation in high humidity, but pack it up wet and it is still lighter than a hubba hubba. It also comes with the coolest looking, best holding stakes I have ever used.
