Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 Ultra Light Tent: 2-Person 3-Season
Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 Ultra Light Tent

I highly recommend the Copper Spur tents for backpacking. They are very lightweight while retaining some nice features (such as double doors and vestibules). The Copper Spur also seems better made than some of Big Agnes's other tents. The tent has pretty good height for one of it's size and weight, and is comfortable for two people, though you do sleep close together. I prefer something a bit bigger for car camping, but this is a great tent where weight is a concern. The fly does the job and the overall design seems like it will do decently in light to moderate breezes.
I have only a couple of complaints. It takes a bit of getting used to the cross pole sticking out when you don't have the fly up as it's easy to bump into. I would also like a couple more or bigger side pockets for stashing your sleeping bag and pad stuff sacks, and any layers you remove when getting into your sleeping bag for the night. The tent has two fairly small pockets on both side of the tent near the head end.
