These 2 person tents are 2 kilos or less.
There are fly only options or tents without floors or screens available for those who are looking for partial cover.
Where I come from one of the key roles of a tent is to keep critters off you – so I’ve only included sealed options.

My decision making was based on the fact that I did not want a one person tent after my experience in my Blackwolf Bivy Bag. I needed more room. I went to REI in Chicago in December 2010 with the intention of buying a Hubba Hubba which was on sale. However, when I picked up the Seedhouse in comparison I immediately rejected the Hubba Hubba idea – much larger as well as heavier. The SL2 was noticeably more compact and lighter. It was expensive, however, so I did not proceed at that time. A little later, after I got back home to Australia I found some closeout items for sale on the Big Agnes web site – so I bought an SL2 with footprint plus an SL3 to cover most of my options – solo walking or with one or two kids. I have used this tent once on a single night through walk. Worked a treat and kept my son and I dry with some light falls through the night. Great investment from my perspective. It has an inner layer which is all fly screen – open weave which is perfect for my moderate climate. | |
