I've been looking at more tent options.. I have a tent that I use for most outings with my son where I sleep solo in a 3 person tent, but have been looking for more of a backpacking tent. I have known about Big Agnes tents for some time although I haven't used one before. And noticed that the 2014 model some how shaved an extra 5-6 oz off the total weight from last years model which would bring the total 'packed' weight to 4 lbs even for the 3 person tent. 3 person meaning to me that 2 people could sleep in it or very roomy for myself.
I'm really impressed that for the size of tent that it comes in at 4 lbs and I know if you went with a footprint/ rain fly combo it would be even less (Although I like more protection not the complete minimalist as I will take comfort over weight)
But with that said, any other suggestions on a backpacking tent that can fit 2 people comfortably? Most everything that I have seen has me coming back to the BA copper spur UL 3 as one of my best options... although they are a bit pricey. Yes I know that I can get last years model for cheaper, but that also adds quite a few oz to total weight.
Just wondering if there are any other suggestions with a good combination of comfort and low weight. (Meaning I don't plan on sleeping on the ground with a tarp over me.)
