Fly Creek UL3

I second this one. Love mine

I have the fly Creek one. Ultralight. Kept me warm and dry in a thunder shower

Do you want it to actually fit 2 people? I love my big agnes fly creek UL but when two people are in it, you better be down to cuddle. Me and my bag have sooo much room though

Big Agnes Fly Creek UL is a great light little tent, sub 2lbs, free standing, a little snug for 2P but a spacious 1P

There are a lot of tents for three season use that are under $600, though. People are pointing them out on this thread. I hear that you don't think the trade off is worth it compared to what you have right now, which is valid. But it's not honest to say that "tents" are expensive, and ten cite flagship ultralight tents which are priced to be purchased at sale price (they're both around $450 right now) because that's how our marketing works these days. And you can get a 3lb of another model (Big Agnes Fly Creek UL) that lists for $450 and you can get for u see $350 by waiting for a sale. There are a lot of options under $600, but the light weight material just really is that expensive. (The shift away from PFAS also increased costs.)

The zoom ul is a good lightweight summer pad but notorious for sleeping cold for its r value. Their sleeping bags/quilts are nothing special either comparing them to cottage companies. Where they shine is their tents. The tigerwall and fly creek ul series semi freestanding tents were the gold standard for backpacking before high end trekking pole tents swooped in. They are still great products though and depending on your use could be worth owning. Their skyline ul stool is overpriced and doesn’t belong in a ul thru hiking bag but is nice to have for shorter trips and other uses outside backpacking. It’s very light and compact so it can come in handy if you need a portable chair for anything.

Big Agnes Tiger Wall. Get the 3 person if either of you are over 5’7”. My husband and I are both 5’7”-ish and barely fit inside the Tiger Wall 2. I love it though, it has 2 doors, is easy enough to set up and pretty comfortable for an ultralight backpacking tent. I do NOT recommend the Fly Creek, at all. I had one for a good section of my thru hike and it was so uncomfortable to climb in and out of. I hate that overall design.

My fly creek lasted a whole 15 backpacking trips before the pole hub at the pinnacle of the tent broke while setting it up and Big Agnes warranty just stopped responding hahah. Oh and the pole clip broke, needed to be replaced, and it got random little micro-tears in the tent body. Never buying their garbage again. I went back to Tarptent and Six Moon Designs.

Yeah, I did enjoy the tent when I was using it. Their UL fabrics are way too delicate for my style of backpacking though.
