Black Diamond HiLight Tent
Very protective tent for backpacking, when conditions might be a little rough and cold at elevation or during shoulder seasons.

4-season tent that holds up to storms. Good for winter backpacking as it is very lightweight for how warm/durable it is.

If you're on a budget and don't mind that it doesn't have a vestibule, this is a good move!













Black Diamond FirstLight Tent
A 4-season, minimalist tent that is perfect for mountaineering expeditions and cold weather backpacking trips. This tent is well designed and space efficient without any extra bells or whistles - simple and well made. It has a single entry door and a vestibule can be purchased separately for added gear storage space. This is a really lightweight 4-season tent with a packed weight of just 3lbs 3oz and the 2-pole design makes it quick and easy to set up when you arrive at camp.

Lightweight and durable. This will stand up to extreme weather. Designed as a single wall tent, so everything is together as one unit.

Lightweight 2 person tent that will have plenty of room for 1 person and gear or 2 people and minimal gear. Highly rated!

Eureka! Mountain Pass Tent
It's no joke that this tent is good in all four seasons. It's designed using the double layer system with panels that can be fully removed, or partially zipped for better ventilation during the summer. The 2 doors and 2 vestibules make this a perfect 4-season option for backpacking pairs.

A solid backpacking 4-season option. Double wall design makes for an easy set up and break down. Has plenty of headroom and is designed to withstand extreme weather. Super durable.

This is a more compact camping tent that can fit 2 people and has 2 vestibules for some outside gear storage. It is 7'4" x 4'8" in dimensions and a peak height of 3'5".

Black Diamond Spotlight Bivy · Wasabi
Providing just a little more wiggle room than options like the Twilight from Black Diamond at not a whole lot more of a weight increase sitting at 1lb 7oz for your average pack weight. Packs down to 4" X 7.5". Killer choice for 4 seasons and with a single DAC Featherlite pole, you get a little extra space over your head and shoulders versus more traditional bivy options. Has a mesh panel with an awning for ventilation and a large zippered entry for ease of use.

Designed for the gram counting minimalist and good for all 4 seasons!

MSR Remote 3 Tent
Extreme conditions with plenty of vestibule space to not eat into your sleep area. Considerable versatility in setup with multiple guy out points.

This thing is a literal tank - if you plan on being out in bad weather/snow, this is your best option

Hilleberg Kaitum GT 2 Person Tent
Both The Kaitum and the Kaitum GT models are highly versatile all-season tents. Providing a superb balance of remarkable light weight, comfort, and high strength, they are an excellent choice for those who prefer the flexibility of a two entrance, two vestibule design, but don’t necessarily require the extra strength of Hill’s Black Label Keron models. The Kaitum’s GT models’s extended vestibule offers even more space with very little weight add. The standard sized vestibule can be fully rolled away for tremendous venting, while the GT’s extended vestibule has an entrance on each side for more entry/exit and venting options. Its front section can also be rolled back to create a very protected “covered porch.”

Mountain Hardwear Trango 2 Tent (Alpine Red)
Take it up the mountain, take it in the snow... hell, take it in space. This tent might outlast you. With DAC featherlite NSL poles and direct connection secure points, this tent is one of the most desirable 4-season shelters on the market. It has D-shaped front and rear doors that conveniently tuck away, welded loops for securing the fly, and the bathtub floor makes for a weatherproof base.
