Black Diamond Firstlight Tent: 2-Person 4-Season
This tent often comes with me even on day hikes

This tent packs to about the same size and weight as a bivvy sack. So if you carry a bivvy as a backup or emergency shelter consider taking this tent instead.
To save weight this tent is not treated with any fire resistant coating and will burn like a torch. If you often ignore "DON'T" warnings in other tents you better pay attention to these, No cooking inside or even just outside this tent at all.
note: It is a bit small for a two man tent, I'd call it a 1.75 man tent or 1 man + gear tent. That said it is the same footprint as the Bibler I-tent which some mountaineers (I have heard) share with 3.
