REI’s a great brand! Could probably snag some good carousell deals from returning Singaporeans as well (i did)… also still better than paying US retail prices. If your friend can find a good deal on secondhand Nemo though, could be worth your time/money Anyway, I think it depends how “ultralight” you want to go. If you’re doing a trail as serious as the PNW, every pound absolutely matters, and only the decathlon Ultralight series of equipment will do, such as the MT900. If you’re okay with a 3-season, i would think that the 3FUL Lanshan 2 is a better pick for the weight, and the comfort is passable imo. The ergonomics re: packing is also great since it doesnt have poles (you’ll need trekking poles). You can’t really go too wrong with either though, as long you’re mindful of what weight you’re ready to handle Also can consider renting your tent instead if you dont think you’re going to use it all that much. Storage in singapore is a pain, and can kill your tent if you don’t regularly remove humidity….
I have 4, they're all brilliant, the fresh and black range was a game changer with kids, we have the air 4 person fresh and black and its great for my family, so far its about 5 years old used 3 - 4 times a year and still working and waterproof. I one of the 3 man pop up fresh and blacks which gets more use when I go without family and its solid, my oldest one from them is a decade old bought as an emergency Le Mans tent when my old eurohike gave up. I totally rate them over anything else in the near price range. The only ones that don't work are the super light solo hiker tent range, but they can be forgiven for that.
If you have Decathlon: MT900. Light weight and does what it should do since some years for me.
X mid 2's are meant to be the boy. Decathlon mt900's are amazing too. My mate just got a Robens Aster pro 2 and that looks solid think it was £150 ish
Decathlon's trek 900 series is actualy amazing for the price - their 900g down sleeping bag is around €120, their 40L pack is under 1kg for €80, and they've got those MT900 tents listed in OP's comment that are solid trekking pole shelters.
