I used a tarptent double rainbow - the old version before they made it longer. I love that tent and I believe it was lighter than the more popular tent everyone was getting at rei
Love my Tarptent Double Rainbow (single wall)! Honestly, the Tarptent Double Rainbow single wall w/ ceiling liner is basically a DW tent for condensation purposes....
I have a number of tarptents that I’ve bought and used over 20 years. They’re fantastic, I haven’t noticed and quality issues at all. I like the double rainbow myself in silpoly. They occasionally have sales or blemished items. For DCF most will be $500-700+. Z packs duplex might be where you want to go if you want to save up a bit more. I’d check out slingfin as well.
I love my Double Rainbow by TarpTent. Holds me my gear and my Lab comfortably. I’ve been in a few major storms and it holds up great.
I’ll add that customer service is great and very responsive
I have the Tarptent Rainbow Single, it’s big enough to share and easy to carry at 980g but I wouldn’t want to be sharing in prolonged wet weather.
However the Double Rainbow is significantly wider with a door on both sides for better access and ventilation. And not much heavier.
They’re not cheap but look out for a used one on eBay or Geartrade etc.

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
