I need help choosing a tent.

you tend to get what you pay for, the difference in material and build quality... quality lightweight materials are expensive. you need less hydrostatic head on the fly, theres more pressure on the floor that requires a higher hh.

Hello. brad, i will suggest you go to online and search because there will you get varieties of tents according to your budgets. and otherwise you can search tracking tents.

I'd recommend the Wild Country Zephyros 2 Lite tent from these guys, there's also plenty of other lightweight options to consider there, but the above is good compromise between weight, space and $s. http://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/equipment-c3/tents-shelters-c25/two-person-tents-c26 It's based on the Terra Nova Laser design which are lighter still and made in the UK, the Wild Country ones being made in China like most things these days. I had one before for 3 years nicked late last year, and have replaced it with same again. It also comes in a 1 man version, but the 2 lite is still under 1.6kg, packs down small, as oodles of space of 1 and just enough room for two at a push. It pitches outer first or altogether if you leave it joined up.
