Big Agnes Seedhouse 2 , easy to set up, and DRY!

I am also a fan of Big Agnes products, but do not have one of their tents.  I currently use a Eureka Lite'n Up model two man tent.  It is snug for two large people, very roomy for one.  I am looking at buying a Eureka Apex 2XT which is the same "model" with two D doors and vestibule plus separate rain fly.  There are a lot of them out there, especially on E-Bay.  It is bright yellow and black, which some might think is too garish for the woods.

Hey Old Salt what's cookin?

I'm a MSR fan myself. Backpacker magazine rated the Hubba-hubba with high marks so what the heck I sprang for a 2 man version. (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)
Yea, I know it's over budget. A breeze to set up I really enjoyed the extra room on my most recent trip. Hopefully it holds up like my MSR solo "Zoid" (still going strong but I'm getting really suspicious....something got to go wrong sooner or later.....right?)

I think I said I have the Hammerhead3, but I actually have the Hammerhead2.  Love it!

This looks like a replication of the original REI Half-Dome 2 Plus (not the current one), with is/was an EXCELLENT tent.  I wish they still made it.  It is extremely simple and quick to set up.  My only reservation about the arrangement is the tent's rain fly.  It does not appear to have any air vents.  This could produce more than anticipated condensation inside the tent.  The original REI tent has fore/aft vents which is one of the reasons I like it, but it also produces a place where leaks can develop.

Like this model, the original REI also had 2 doors/vestibules ... you'll love that feature and it does give you additional flexibility when setting up in tight spaces.  Lots of room for getting your gear under cover.  I typically load up one vestibule with gear that gets little use on the campsite (e.g, the bags that the tent comes in, my gear pack, etc.) and the other side is used more for egress purposes ... which is here boots get placed overnight.

I do have other Mountain Hardware equipment.  I've always found their construction to be excellent.

Good luck with your purchase ... I've been using a 2-man tent for my individual use for AT LEAST the last 5 paddling seasons.  I LOVE IT.
