Check out the Gossamer Gear The One tent. It's a bit of a squeeze for two adults but very roomy for one. The bug netting is IMO the big advantage over tarp style tents. Although i haven't had it out in any stiff winds it seems very stable, if pitched correctly. And at 16oz it very light in the pack.



Although a bit of a departure from topic, I had the pleasure of renting a Mountain Hardware Trango 3 for a climb on Rainier this last month. This bad boy was the Cadillac of tents IMO. Very roomy for two big guys and tons of gear, a big front vestibule for cooking, and a smaller rear vestibule for gear. Another bonus was the ability to manage the always abundant condensation the is a fact of life on Rainier. It took on some howling winds no problems. I know what I'm asking Santa for this year!
