[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2024188, member: 54178"] I have two [U][I]solo[/I][/U] tents I use. 1. Tarptent Moment DW-> "Solid" interior with the shortened optional Crossing Pole run UNDER the fly if heavy snow load is expected. 2. Tarptent Notch Li-> This is really a 3 season tent that can be used in winter with but is not as suitable for winter as the Moment DW or SCARP 1. Even the Statospire 1 is OK for winter with a "solid" interior tent. Full netting interior tents let spindrift snow inside, always a bad thing. Any of these Tarptent models can be set up with the fly and inner tent as one unit avoiding getting the inner tent wet when setting up in bad weather. Just smart design - [U]unlike[/U] many other tent designs that require the inner tent be set up FIRST (while getting soaked) and then the fly put over it. [B]For 2 people[/B] the Tarptent SCARP 2 and Stratospire 2 would be my choice although Tarptent makes other 2 person tents. I have a SCARP 2 and it's roomy for 2 with their gear but can accommodate "three consenting adults" in a head-to-toe sleeping bag arrangement. Both of these tents have a door/vestibule on each side for those "zero dark thirty" pee calls so you're not crawling over your tent mate to get outside - and back in. Tarptent quality is excellent, as is their customer service. I've owned 5 of them over the years and liked them all. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
