We have the Tiger Wall UL-2 and it’s done really well in rainy conditions honestly. The only gripe I have about it is it’s not truly 100% freestanding. You have to stake out the two corners by the foot to open it up all the way and to attach the fly. It’s definitely roomy for one person and I’ve taken it solo before. That being said my Seedhouse SL-1 is a lot more compact and lighter so I usually take that when I go solo. Never messed with Hubba Hubba though so I can’t speak to those.

No but Coleman is typically low to mid grade, I'd recommend higher quality brands like Big Agnes, REI, Marmot, etc. which you can probably find for a price pretty close to that (especially if there's a sale). I mostly hammock camp these days, but I also have a fair amount of tent experience in an REI Kingdom (big, decent for car camping) and a Big Agnes Seedhouse (small, light, great 2 person tent).

I sold my bivvy after a pretty miserable experience in the UP in some hot and humid conditions last summer. Used a single person Big Agnes tent in hot and humid conditions in PR recently. Much better camping experience. Worth the extra pound and packability issues IMO.

Am I the only one who does not share a tent with my wife? She carries a Big Agnes 1p and I carry the 2p for that luxury condo on the trail. This works great and with two light tents, is very manageable and gives us our space on a trip where it is nothing but the two of us.

I switched from a Big Agnes 1P to an Xmid Pro 2P last year and I haven’t looked back. I love it! Like you, I always have my trekking poles and I grew wary of always having a separate tent pole. Also, my 1P tent was ridiculously small. My Xmid sleeps colder since it’s a single wall tent, so I bought a second quilt (much warmer) so that I can continue backpacking year round and keep warm overnight.

I have had problems pitching my Big Agnes on hard dirt so I ran long sturdy sticks through my BA pitching loops and I put rocks on the ends of the sticks.

I have a Big Agnes 1P and it’s plenty big.

Another vote for BA, but the 1p

I can now pitch my durston x mid faster than my big agnes semi free standing tent. there was a little bit of a learning curve but once I got its been a breeze. I have camped hundreds of miles in the sierras and have had no issues. I rarely camp on granite so consider that if you do often, you’ll have to hold it down with rocks.
