What ultra light tent 3 season would you chose for backpacking.?
m trying to find a quality 3 season 2 person tent that weighs as little as possible. ...Ive found a few i like but if you have other suggestions please make them...... Im planning an around the world trip with a lot of camping, and beach camping so I need quality no-see-um mesh....... Which of these would you chose and why?..... 1. http://www.msrcorp.com/tents/zoid2.asp ..... 2. http://www.sierradesigns.com/tents.display.php?id=14 ..... 3. http://tinyurl.com/2jvg6u ..... 4. http://www.basegear.com/mountain-hardwear-lightpath-2.html .....please dont answer without explaining why you think your suggestion is best.
Tents are a very personal choice and some people prefer some features over others. One question I would ask is if you are going alone or will be sharing the tent with somebody. Keep in mind that when manufacturers say '2 person tent' they generally assume that each person is about 5 feet tall and weights 90 pounds. If you are sharing with somebody, than it better be somebody you know really well. 
All of the tents above are respected models from respected manufacturers. One thing to consider if you will be camping on sand, is that the REI Qtr Dome is the only one of the tents above that is completely free-standing - all the others must be staked down to stand up. Free-standing tents are a big plus where the ground is likely to be really loose (sand) or really hard (slickrock). After a few less than ideal experiences with other tents, I always buy free standing ones now.
Another thing to consider if you have lots of gear to protect or it will likely be rainy is the size of the vestibule (the area outside the tent that is still covered by the rainfly) - small ones (like on the Flashlight) are next to worthless, especially if there are two of you.
I have an REI Half-Dome (a slightly larger version of the Qtr Dome) and it is an excellent tent - well designed, well ventilated and roomy. The Qtr Dome has the same attributes, but with a little less space (and weight). If there will be two of you, I would strongly suggest looking at the Half-Dome otherwise if it is just yourself (and you want the extra space), I would recommend the Qtr Dome.
Although it is not on your list, you may also want to consider the Black Diamond HiLight which just got rave reviews in Backpacker Magazines gear guide. It is a freestanding 2 person tent with a large vestibule that weighs in at 3 pounds.
