Bryce

Paria Tents are underrated. https://www.pariaoutdoorproducts.com/collections/camping-tents-backpacking-tent?srsltid=AfmBOorLeHQKNi5R2YXlCpV0AzYQhAqW6SF8fCceWeFwiXXkuWessqCW Under 200, light-ish, great quality. Perfect beginner tent.

I have a paria Bryce 2p. At $189 it is just as nice as any $250-300 range tent. Save yourself $100 and get something else for your pack.

I've been backpacking for years with gear from the company linked below and i couldn't recommend them enough. I currently have 5 of their sleeping bags and 4 of their tents. I haven't tried their sleeping pads though, and I wouldn't recommend their hiking pole tent, but their other tents have been great, especially the Bryce. I've spent a number of nights with temps in the low 20f in their 0 degree down bag and stayed warm. I can't recommend them enough. https://www.pariaoutdoorproducts.com/

Paria Outdoor Products Bryce tent is gonna be the best tent on a budget by leaps and bounds due to cost, weight, size, durability, and design being ideal for 3 season backpacking. I literally have zero idea why anyone would recommend anything else it’s seriously that good

Check Paria Outdoor Products. Based in Colorado. Stuff most likely made on China as outdoor companies do. For free standing tents they have their Bryce and Zion models. I like the Bryce's color better, the Zion has side entry vestibules that works better for this old man. They have a trekking pole tent, the Arches model. Good customer service there which is important if something goes amiss.  https://www.pariaoutdoorproducts.com/

Look at the Paria Outdoors Bryce 1p tent. It’s a great deal at $170 and very light weight for the cost. It’s more like a 1.5p tent. I’m 6’-4” and I fit comfortably with an XL sleeping pad, my dog, and room for my backpack at the front if it’s raining.

Paria Outdoors makes a 1p and a 2p rent that I think are both under $200. I have the 1p and think it's around $160. These are well made, relatively light, easy to set up, and compact. Take a look, I think these are perfect for your use case.

I forgot, the model is Bryce
