Hi, as title says lightweight tent.
Budget is kind of flexible to $300, but I'd probably rather not.
I am 6'3 200lbs and I don't want my toes and noggin touching the ends. That's like kind of my only requirement. And preferably under 4 lbs.
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some tent recommendations and could use some recommendations from people who’ve tried a bunch of different setups.
I’m 6'2", about 200 lbs, and I’m finally upgrading from my uncle’s almost 30 year old Eureka tent. It’s been used and abused and I want to upgrade to something that isnt 6 lbs.
I already have my sleep system sorted — I have a Nemo Forte 35 and a Nemo Quasar 3D pad, and I love both of them. I don’t have a proper backpacking pack yet, so I’m using my Osprey Manta 34 for now until I finish buying in the rest of my gear. I figure getting the pack last makes the most sense.
Budget-wise, I’m aiming for $150–$250, but I can push to $300 if it’s genuinely worth it. I’d prefer to stay under $200 if possible.
Right now, I’m looking at the Paria Bryce and the Naturehike Cloud Up. I’m torn between getting a 1‑person vs 2‑person tent. I’ll be camping solo, and anyone I’d go with already has their own tent, but I’m not sure if the extra space is worth the weight bump for someone my size.
I've also looked at the discontinued Nemo Mayfly 2p which hits that 300$ limit and the Big Agnes Salt Creek SL2 which is on sale at REI for 250$ right now.
I live in New England and spend my camping time in Maine and New Hampshire so I'm looking for something that can handle the weather here.
Any other reasonable tents I should be looking into in this price range?
