Black Diamond Firstlight Tent 2-Person 3-Season
Less is more

If lightweight and low volume packability rates high on your selection criteria, the Black Diamond Firstlight Tent is a great choice. Though considered a 3 season tent, I've used this in snowstorms and temps down to -30 F at 7000 meters. Considering the Firstlight packs down to the size of a football and weighs about half of its nearest rival, it might be unique as an alpine climbing shelter. It's a steal at half the price of other single wall tents. Don't expect a roomy experience especially if taller than six feet. I also wouldn't suggest this for a rainy trip, but when weight and packed volume outweigh comfort and room, this might be the only functional option available.
