The North Face Heron 33 3-Person 3-Season Tent
Perfect For Two

This is a very well-made tent even for beginner campers like us, light and easy to set up. Even though it says 3, it's probably best for 2 adults. Set up was quick and easy. I tried setting it up at home before taking it out for the trip, it took less than 10 minutes for someone who had never pitched a tent before, on my own.
We used it a couple of times, once was at a camp ground in Indiana and it rained pretty heavily. It kept us dry. The guys at North Face did a great job with the design especially when it comes to ventilation, so no problem with condensation at all.
We love this tent and for the weight, it's good to take out for a hike. For car camping though I'd like to have something roomier and with more head clearance.
