Backpacking tent question
I have points built up at REI and I was planning to get a tent during their sale going on. I’m pretty sure I’m going to get The North Face Stormbreak 2P or 3P. Reviews are great, and I watched some YouTube tent comparison videos as well. It’s spacious, sturdy, durable, good with lots of rain. Only real cons mentioned were the weight (5-6lbs), a zipper snugs, and no footprints included.
I plan to do a mix of regular camping and some backpacking. At the moment I don’t plan to have wild distances for backpacking maybe like 25-50 miles max.
Question is would anyone have suggestions for options sold at REI as an alternative/better choice, options that would be lighter? UL is out of my price range. My price range is like $200s, maybe mid $300s max if the tent was truly like goated. Minimum I want a 2P but I like the idea of a 3P if someone joins me (but all the 3Ps at REI in my price range are the same weight range).
