Dropped about 2 lbs by switching to this Big Agnes 2P tent, from a 3P Brooks Range tent. Plenty of room for me and my pack. 2 people would be snug, and if wanting 2P plus packs inside I'd bring the 3P. I've only used it for 2 nights so far. For the first, I put the fly on, but hard to use rocks instead of stakes in a few places, and didn't fully stake out the fly. Some mild wind made it flap. The second day's spot was a little bigger so I got the main stakes in, but skipped the fly, and slept a little better. The zipper worked fine for me. Set-up was easy. I would have preferred to not require the stakes, but skipping having a pole at your feet makes it lighter, and really it looked like it would be fine for one person without staking out the feet. I cut a ground cloth out of thin plastic (1-3 mil, it did fine even on granite), but will probably use an emergency blanket in the future. For the weight this tent made more sense to me than dealing with a pup tarp/tent type solution, especially for the sierras where finding a big enough patch of dirt to also put in stakes can sometimes be a problem.
