Marmot Alpinist Tent: 2-Person 4-Season
Strong, pretty light, what's not to like?

This tent has proved incredibly durable -- high winds, rough ground, careless climbing partners, and it still looks and works like it did when I bought it. But the best thing is that it's simple -- minutes to set up and guy out and a design that is intuitive and just plain works.
Cons -- not the raddest basecamp tent; it's kinda tight (definitely not for you 6'5" peeps), and the vestibule is functional but not giant. But hey, I'll trade that for the light weight any day!
