[I like the big Agnes fly creek](https://www.outlandusa.com/p/big-agnes-fly-creek-hv-ul2-solution-dye-graygreige-2-person) but it's very cramped for 2 people. I'd say you both need to be on the smaller side, but definitely completely sealed and free standing (it's awkward if you can't peg it, but it ultimately stands.)

Seconded, have used this alone and also shared it. Reasonable to carry solo and doable shared!

Big Agnes fly creek hv ul 2 person tent. 1kg/2.2pounds. Great touring tent for one person or a couple

Not at that price and weight. I like the fly creek UL 2 as a light option, but it’s more expensive. On the cheaper side is the half dome or quarter dome but they are heavy and prices vary. A good tent will last you many years, so factor that into your decision.

My favorite car camp tent is the REI half dome. It’s actually comfortable. If you want a cheaper option, the Ozark Trail tent from Walmart is pretty decent, but doesn’t have aluminum poles. The half dome can do backpacking, but it is on the heavy side. When I care about weight, I bring my Fly Creek from Big Agnes. Copper Spur and Nemo Hornet are also great options. The fly creek is crazy light, but you really have to like the second person if you’re going to fit two.

Similar vein I love my fly creek UL 2. Perfect for 1 person, super light and simple. Fits my partner and I fine. I wish I got the tiger wall 2 tbh just to have a little extra room and two entrances, worth the extra weight for backpacking as a couple. Fly creek is so perfect for solo backpacking though

I am using a Big Gnes Fly Creek 2, and it's fine for me and my wife. Was in a rain last summer on and off for several hours and stated dry as a bone. I think it's right at 1 kg trail ready, maybe slightly less. Easy setup and takedown.

I'm 6'3" 210lbs and my wife is 5'3" and similarly proportioned. We've use a Flycreek UL2 for more than a decade. It is fine for us for weekend trips where we are going to be moving regardless if weather. I don't want to do more than sleep in it. My current over-40 and several-previous-surgeries body would like a bit more headroom and a side door or two rather than the end loading design. I use a hammock for solo camping.
