[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1415675, member: 54178"] Look at the Tarptent Scarp 2 and some of the Big Agnes too person tents. Also Sierra Designs and the very expensive Hilleberg expedition tents are nice. **Try to get a tent that permits the inner tent to ALWAYS be connected to the fly so you can put it up in the rain without getting the inner tent wet!! Tents that require you to set up the inner tent first and then the fly are outdated and a PITA. Also [I]lighter [/I]tents like all the Tarptent ones are made of "silnylon" which is much lighter than urethane coat nylon and will last longer. i.e. The silicone waterproofing won't peel off like polyurethane will as it ages. BTW, the Scarp II has optional "Crossing Poles" to make it freestanding and handle wind and snow load much better. TIP: pre-rig your guy lines so you can snap them on the tent guy points quickly at zero-dark-thirty in a sudden windstorm. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
