Black Diamond Firstlight Tent: 2-Person 4-Season
Choose wisely

Very light, which means a lot. Super small and tight, which can be difficult for getting dressed, booting up, cooking etc. Because the walls are so narrow, you will get frozen condensation on your arms and back if you are sitting up. Pretty strong but with only 2 poles it doesn't handle strong wind and snow load well. With more guy points it could improve this. The small footprint allow it to be pitched on very small ledges-awesome. Mediocre venting. This tent has been great most of the time but it is the only tent I've ever had shredded by the wind.
