C Bar 2

I bought a Big Agnes C Bar 2 tent, weighs like 1.8kg and cost £170 from a EU supplier, fantastic tent and so light, packs away well. My friend bought this exact quechua tent and whilst it was good quality it is also very bulky and heavy. I can see Snowleader.com has the C Bar 3 which is a 3 person tent for £202 right now, would suggest that if you’re gonna be sharing it with someone!

Big Agnes C-Bar 1 or 2, both very light and easy to set up love my C-Bar 2

A lot of one person tents are really small. I use a Big Agnes C Bar 2. It’s about $140 and weighs 3 lbs and some change. The only drawback is its front entry/exit. A side zip is easier to deal with.

I can recommend the Big Agnes C Bar 2, that's the one I have. I've used it for a couple of years and it's been great. It has a vestibule also so you can put your bags there. Right now there are sales so you can get it for probably around the 180-200€ (+30€ if you get the footprint). Big Agnes is a really well known and reputable brand also. It weighs around 1.6-1.7kg so for 2 people it's pretty light, I regularly use it solo too. Also if you buy the footprint you can set it up with only the footprint and the rainfly which makes it lighter. If you don't have too many insects that can be an option. The one downside is that it might be a bit on the smaller side for you. This isn't a 2.5 person tent but 2 person.

They’re right, 10D fabric is /Incredibly/ thin. It wouldn’t last much wear and tear at all. If it’s just for you, maybe the Alpkit Soloist XL would be a good fit. If it’s for two, Big Agnes’s C Bar or Crag Lake maybe.

Big Agnes are exceptional. Buy one secondhand, get the two person, and never look back. My buddy and I both use one, they are light, small, and truly worth every cent. 

For quality camping equipment I tend to wait for a holiday then check out REI outlet online. If you are a member you get a 20 percent off coupon that works for outlet prices. I bought a 2 person Big Agnes tent that retailed for over 3 hundred dollars. My cost was about 120 I think. It was years back but it's a great tent. We would budget 2 big ticket items every year until we had everything we wanted.

We each have our own hammock... Def my preference! We have a 2 person Big Agnes that we put our packs in or use if the weather is really bad (even tho I have a rain fly for my hammock now!)
