Looks like this year is going to be a solo trip for me. My wife is staying on an "every other year" schedule. Although I'm not technically solo, since it's me and the dog. I have a workhorse Eureka Apex 3XT that I take when there's two people. Great tent, it's been bombproof in some extended storms, but it's heavier and bulkier than I want to lug on a solo.

I have an REI dividend and a 20% off coupon to use by Sunday. I am looking for a 2 person tent, reasonably light weight, packs small, and $400 or less. Does anyone have one that they highly recommend?

The one that's caught my eye so far is the Kelty Trailogic TN2, which won Backpacker mag's "Editor's Choice" award for 2014. What I really like is the unique packing style - it packs into a 14" x 11" x 3" cube. That would pack well in a canoe pack. And the price is right. This model aside, does anyone have experience pro or con with Kelty tents?
