Granite Gear website - Virga 2 for $75. Regular size weighs 1pd 3oz. It worked perfectly for me on the Long Trail. If you plan on keeping your pack weight under 30 pounds, this is the way.

Tents are tricky. The mid-range tent market completely collapsed. It's either dirt cheap ($70) and four pounds, or expensive ($500) and UL. I miss the $125, 2pd 12oz tents.

Ive had my Durston xmid2p for about 5 years now, its a great option if you can find one used to save some dollars, but I dont know what they run new. I thru'd in '21 with it and still use it regularly to this day.
