If you're new to this, I'd stay away from tarptents unless you have an intense desire to go ultra-ultralight from the getgo. Remember, what you gain in weight savings, you potentially sacrifice in comfort, performance, durability, etc. There's nothing wrong with tarptents--I just wouldn't start out with them. The brands listed in one of the answers to your question are great brands. Also check out REI-brand tents. Their stuff is drastically cheaper yet they still win awards.

Think about a Henry Shires Tarptent. There are one man versions that are 21-24oz. Your knees will thank you.

I would suggest the Kelty Ridge 2. Very light and good price with lots of space. You can find it here on BC. It is what I use with this pack. It matches the orange pack too. Great combo.

I would suggest the Nemo Equipment Nano. This is between 2.8 lbs and 3.7 lbs depending on what model you want. Nemo tents are extremely well designed and durable. Not to mention its nearly impossible to find a 2.8 freestanding two person tent. www.nemoequipment.com

Man, talk about an open ended question! As far as tents go, i would look at Marmot, TNF, Big Agnes, Black Diamond, and Mountian Hardwear. They will all have comparable models with similar specs on weight and size. If you are looking for the best bang for your buck i would look at Marmot and Big Agnes. They both seem to get the weight down without really compromising on much else. Maybe the Aeolus from Marmot and the Seedhouse/Copper Spur/Emerald Mnt. lines from Big Agnes. Hope this helps. I am sure you will get multiple answers for this question. Cheers!
