Nemo Kunai 2p / 3p I've used it for about 60 days over the past 12 months, up to about 5100m. It's held up great in storms, and weighs about what you're looking for. Great in winter and summer, low lands and high peaks. You could also consider Hilleberg tents for high durability and quality, though at a very high price point. Samaya I would only buy if I was doing a cutting edge expedition, with the knowledge that you might only get a few trips out of it, but oh boy is it a lightweight tent

I got a deal on a Nemo Kunai and have been happy with it. Ive used it extensively in the Adirondacks & Whites in the winter, and some mountaineering trips out west. Just under 4lbs

I am using multiple naturehike tents and putting them through hell without a single issue to see if they will hold up to my multi week expeditions. Have a nemo kunai, which is good but no better than my naturehike tents. EXCEPT the naturehike are $160 cad. Highly recommend checking them out and see if one model fits the bill and ignore these people recommending $1200+ tents that will do the exact same thing but less waterproof and most likely sag when wet... have a few reviews if interested, but everyone looks for something different in a tent. Tents are not buy once cry once. You are paying for a name after a certain point unless you're summiting mountains with specific expedition gear or something similar.

I have a 3 person Nemo and it’s a pain in the ass with only 2 people in it. Our Nemo Tensor mattresses slide around all over the place because of the extra width. Honestly, I’d take the 2 person if I could go back in time.

Got a Nemo 3p tent a couple years ago then wife broke her ankle. Finally just used it the first time and it’s great. 3 person is def the way to go for 2 people.

I’ve got a Nemo 3 person that realistically fits 2 people and some gear. It’s super packable and lightweight, fits well on the bike. I’m just above 200 cm and I fit well.
