Now tents is a subject apart. What tent you need is totally depending on your trip, climate, situation and personal wishes. I like a tent that has good space, so, not to small. Most of the time, a 1 person tent is to small for me. Now that being said, that means more weight.
The benefit of having a slightly larger tent comes when mother nature throws you a punch. With a little bit more space you can hang out in your tent comfortably and even put all your gear inside.
There are many different types, different fabrics and also different prices.
I have used the
MSR Freelite 2 for a long time, but now moved to an ultralight
Mountain Laurel Design Duomid, full DNF with inner net etc, etc. Really expensive stuff but just mind-blowing how light it is. The biggest advantage is the height, I am 1.84m so, having a little bit more height is great.
So, there are also affordable alternatives, as we discovered last year. One of the amazing tents is the
Durston Gear X-Mid 2P Solid. Great size, great weight, great quality. Superb so to say!
