Marmot - Superalloy 2-Person Tent

Rei has some great house brand gear. I am currently using their 30deg down quilt and a campwell pad. The quilt is tiny and light. The pad is like almost 30 inches wide and rolls up to about 6 inches. It's huge and I get glorious sleep on it. I use rokstraps to secure it to my seat. I've tried inflatable pads like the klymit static v. I just don't sleep well on them. Thermarest has some really nice pads. Some self inflating, some not, insulated... Lots of options. For a pillow I use a down jacket stuffed into my quilts stuff sack and a klymit shredded memory foam pillow. Tent I have a Marmot Superalloy 2p. It's very small and light. I keep the poles and pegs in a separate bag. The tent goes in the saddlebag and the pole bag goes in my camp chair bag and straps down to the seat. Jetboil is the tried and true camp stove. I have the flash. It all stows inside itself. It's relatively compact and light. Rugged enough for moto camping. Steapandcheap usually has good gear on sale. I got my tent there for 1/2 the price. It was a couple of years old but new. You can see the packed size and weights on their site. Nemo makes some light and small backpackers tents and sleeping bags. One of my riding buddies uses them and loves them. zenbivy looks like a nice sleep system. If I had to buy my system again I might go that route. Let us know what you end up buying and what you like/don't like about it.

My wife and I share my 2 person Marmot Superalloy. With ground sheet and upgraded stakes it come in at 3#. I use it for just me on backpacking trips and my wife and I when she comes along. It’s cozy for the two us but not uncomfortable. I’m tall and big, she’s short and medium build. I have shared it with my youngest child as well, tall and big like me and we were ok. I have a bigger heavier roomier tent we use for car camping trip.

I've done Shasta 2x, both times with the a similar tent you've got (Marmot Superalloy 2p). If I had to pick a place to make an investment, it'd be on a better ground pad. 4 season tents weigh 3-5x as much and frankly, on a warm night, will be equally frustrating. Better ground pad gets you off the glacier and keeps you a lot warmer.

I'd add marmot to that list too for the 3-season and backup the canvas with stove for freezing weather.
