The North Face - Stormbreak 3 Tent

I have a Stormbreak 3. It's a nice tent. But definitely on the heavy side for backpacking. I think if I could do it over I'd go for like a Durston X-Mid 2.

Big tents are harder to set up and strike, have more to break and require more care to make last. If you think you might ever be in the wind they also become giant sails. Set up some wind/rain break tarps specific for the site and you will feel like the whole area is more yours. Thats just my two cents and experience with a 6 person party tent that saw lots of fun times. My 3 person Storm break sleeps two plus a dog and keeps a week worth of gear dry in full blown storms., so easy to set up and strike. It does all the backcountry and car camping now.

Keep in mind that a tent will keep you dry. Your sleep system will keep you warm. Look at REI, North face, marmot or MSR brand 3-4 person tents. A 3-4 person tent will sleep both of you comfortably with your gear inside. To manage winds, look for full fly tent and make sure you have enough points to tie guylines.

Stormbreak is a great tent at a good price! The one person will be lighter but they make me claustrophobic:)
