I have been in this during thunderstorms and never felt a drop of rain. Easy to set up and take down. pretty light at 4.75 lbs.

Absolutely it is.

I used ALPS Mountaineering Zephyr 2 ($120) for a few years and loved it. The only issue I had was that the top of the rainfly opening was actually over the floor of the tent. When you have the door and rainfly open, you can stand with your feet in the tent and your body coming out the rainly, but if there was any rain then you ran the risk of water dripping into your tent.

Because of that, I recently got the Big Agnes Happy Hooligan UL2. I found it on sale for $260, but it retails for almost $380.

I have the ALPS Zephyr 2 tent. It packs pretty damn small. only 2 poles so it goes up fast, and its pretty cheap. I would definitely say a 2 person cause it give you room for all your gear too.

Since I'm new at this (I have however been camping in wilderness multiple times for 3-5 days, just never backpacking) I've been reading a ton of guides. I don't have a huge budget since this is something I'm just getting into, but looking around at different reviews this seems to be the best stuff I can get within my price range. If anyone cares to take a look and possibly give any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Tent - I wanted a two person because the weight difference between this and similar-priced one person tents didn't seem large enough, and more importantly I plan on backpacking with SO or my sister, so the split weight from only having one person carrying a tent seems better.
Backpack - Once again, budget, but seems to be exactly what I need.
Sleeping Bag - I'm in Louisiana, so nearby backpacking spots such as Texas don't warrant me buying a super low F rated sleeping bag. I don't want to be burning up and I figure once I get to the point where I'm hiking in colder weather I won't mind dropping more cash on a better rated sleeping bag.

Anyone have experience with these 2 tents, or have any other recommendations? Kelty Salida 2 and ALPS Mountaineering Zephyr 2

My gf and I (and our little dog) are looking for a 2 person tent under $200 CDN, and less than 5lbs. It's for 3 season camping in Nova Scotia, more like 2 season because the trees don't turn green until midway through May. Just weekend warrior stuff, our longest hike this year will probably be 4 days/3 nights at Cape Chignecto. It's very humid here but we probably won't go out if the forecast shows a lot of rainfall.

Worried with those 2 that we won't all fit, especially the Kelty one. Our dog is pretty small and we sleep on 2 thermarests (or MEC equivalents). We use a piece of Tyvek as a footprint.

I have the one person version of this and love it. Great value and pole size is small so it's a pretty short package. And all mesh under the fly, so it's nice in fair weather.
