Black Diamond Firstlight Tent: 2-Person 4-Season
Great lightweight tent

If you’re looking for a lightweight tent, as opposed to a shelter, shop no further. Materials and construction are first rate, and set-up is easy. However, read the instructions before you attempt pitching! When set-up, the walls are tight and there is no flutter in the wind. Ventilation is good with a small window in the back, and a screened door in the front. The companion footprint, which fits the tent very nicely, is highly recommended as the floor of the tent is paper thin. With the footprint, you’re looking at 3.25lb total, which is about half a conventional tent of this size.
