Nemo Hornet Osmo Elite 2. Traditional tent/fly design. Great tent. Handles condensation very well. A little heavy at about 2lbs. Zpacks Free Zip 2P for a single wall design. I love this tent for its ease of use, but it does have condensation issues on occasion. 31 ounces. Both are pretty spendy though.

Zpacks Free Zip 2P is an amazing freestanding tent. Under two pounds. Easy setup and takedown. Single wall, so you don't have to deal with the fly at all. Quite expensive though.

I think it's important to consider your size. If you're both slender and average height a 2-person is fine. My wife and I use a small 2-person from zpacks and it's plenty of room for ultralight. We're both about 6 ft tall. I carry everything to reduce her weight. Packs stay under fly flaps outside. My bro in law is almost 7 feet tall and when we hike we use a much bigger tent for 2. I'll take tent, he takes stakes.

Camping Gear covers so many areas, but I assume you mean your sleep kit and mess kit. Ultralight Backpacks: HMG (Hyperlite Mountain Gear), Z-Packs, Gossamer Gear Traditional Backpacks: Osprey, Gregory, Deuter is ayt Tents: Durston Gear, HMG, Z-Packs (Budget Tents: 3F UL Gear / Naturehike) Sleeping Bag: Western Mountaineering, NEMO, Feathered Friends, Therm-a-Rest Budget SB's: Naturehike) Sleeping Pad: NEMO, Therm-a-Rest, Sea to Summit (Budget: Naturehike) Pillow: Sea to Summit (Budget: Naturehike) Stove: MSR, JetBoil (Budget: Naturehike) Water Filtration System: Sawyer Squeeze, Lifestraw Sorry, but The North Face doesn't really excel in this area. The only exception is their Summit Series Line; they've leaned more towards streetwear, in my opinion. Plus, they've pulled out of local distribution in the Philippines. Just in Case you're asking about clothes and shoes, too easy. Arc'teryx, Outdoor Research, Norrona, Patagonia, Mammut, Rab (Budget: Decathlon, Naturehike, Ukay) Shoes: Salomon... and second, Hoka. (Budget: Same Brands but Ukay)
