My new tent is the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 (Ultra Light 2 person). It weighs only 3 pounds 13 ounces but will sleep 2 people comfortably. Each side has a door and a large vestibule for storing gear. There is plenty of mesh for "breathing" and a couple of well-placed pockets for small gear. The pole system is ingenious and reminds me of "tinker toys". I can set it up very quickly and easily.
I could have bought the 1-person tent which was about a pound lighter but this one is more versatile if Rick and I want to tour together. It weighs about 3 pounds less than our old tent and is much smaller in size.
This tent was not cheap! But just a couple of stays in campgrounds versus hotels and it will pay for itself :-)
