Meteor Lite 3000 2P

I love my Sierra Designs Meteorlite 2.

I have a Sierra Designs Meteor Light 2 person tent that we like very much and is a full pound and like a hundred dollars less than that REI tent. If you are planning 3 season camping I would definitely get a warmer bag.

I have used a Sierra Designs Meteor Lite tent before and really liked it. I think they have 2 and 3 or 4 person options of the same tent.

Honestly, my backpacking tent is only for backpacking. The #1 criteria for backpacking tents for me is lightweight. I have a 1- person REI brand lightweight backpacking tent that works just fine for me and my large dog. I'll never use it for car camping at campgrounds. For non backpacking - i have a 2 person Sierra designs tent, a 4- person made by Taurus, and a new 12- person made by Coleman. They are all for different types of excursions. I wouldn't use any of them backpacking unless my spouse were going with me, in which case we would share the weight. Or if I were just going out for one night and back the next day. A 25-50 mile backpack trip is no joke. Having a pack that's too heavy isn't great. Good luck!

I’ve had great luck with Sierra Designs tents.
