My suggestion isn't really for what tent you should get, but rather what you should get for your tent after making your choice. Buy a compression sack that will fit everything for your tent except for your poles. This will help you get the tent inside of your pack (if that is what you want to do). You will be surprised at how small even some of the heavier 2-man backpacking tents will pack down

there aren't any tents that are going to work with certain packs...you just need to find a tent that has the right combination of size, weight, and price...they'll all work with this pack

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!
