2 person tents out there

**Duramax22** · 02-05-2013, 19:13

I am in the market for a lightweight 2 person tent. I am 6ft 200 and she is 5'10 140. I have looked at a few seedhouse sl2 which i have an sl1 of and really like it, copper spur ul 2, and similar but cant really decide on one. Does anybody have a recommendation? I want to stay under 4lbs and prefer it to be a tent with vestibule. thanks

Your looking in the right direction with that CS UL2. You both would have your own door and vestibule under 4lbs.

I have a Big Agnes Seed House 2 with footprint for sale for $200 shipped. The reason that I'm selling this tent
is because I bought a BA Fly Creek 2 to save some weight. Otherwise--I love the BA SH2--it is absolutely bullet proof.

I was thinking the copper spur originally, i read pretty many reviews that said it was a fair weather tent and that has got me wondering.

My bf & I have the Nemo Obi 2 & love it!

Plenty of room, double doors and double vestibule this is the best bang for the buck...not too bad shared between two at just over two pounds a piece...the single walled tents for two weigh about the same because you can't share the load...

"the single walled tents for two weigh about the same because you can't share the load... "
you can share the load of ANY tent...
The tent is 4 lbs.
You carry the tent and give 2 lbs of your weight to the other guy.

**Fur Queue** · 02-05-2013, 23:29

That would be cool...if we were also sharing the cost...

I had the copper spur ul2 and it was plenty tough with the rainfly. Unfortunately, it was a bit cramped for my 14 year old son and I. We have since switched to the Flycreek ul3 and it is perfect. Easy to setup and tons of room for under 4 lbs. The single door is the only thing that I have found to be a negative compared to the CS ul2, but the added space more than makes up for it.

I have a REI Quarter Dome UL which is around 4lbs. Floor space is 85x52, and being 6'1", have no problem with the room, even with a second person. Makes for a roomy 1 person, or cozy 2 person. Rainfly provides plenty of vestibule space on both sides of tent. Is 'technically' a 3 season, but I've used it in winter, and it worked well enough. Watch out if it snows more than 6" during the night though. Snow build up caused the fly to slump a bit. Was rather wet snow though...

Look at the Flycreek 3 and 4.

**Duramax22** · 02-06-2013, 17:49

Looks like im gonna go with the fly creek 3. thanks for the input.

Love the look of this one, but have never used it: http://www.rei.com/product/846620/bi...s-scout-2-tent

Less than 2 lbs packed. Very spacious.

Lunar Duo or Stratospire 2

Lightheart Duo 32oz and 40 square feet of room on the inside.

After countless hours of research last year (mostly at work) my gf and I went with the Golite Shangri-La 2, and it was awesome: affordable, adaptable, and very comfortable. None on sale right now though so I guess you'll just have to postpone the trip.

Although if I had the coin, I probably would go with the lightheart Solong.

Nevermind, I guess Golite stopped making the Shangri-La 2
