REI Trailmade 2-person Backpacking Tent

The Trailmade 2 is built for ease and comfort, featuring a roomy interior (88 x 52 inches, 31.7 sq ft) and a peak height of nearly 40 inches, so you won’t feel cramped. It’s a true two-door tent with twin vestibules for gear storage, and comes with a footprint included—great for protecting the tent floor and simplifying setup. The X-pole configuration makes pitching quick and intuitive, even for first-timers. While it’s a bit heavier than some ultralight models (minimum trail weight 4 lbs 4 oz, packaged weight 5 lbs 7 oz), the robust materials and freestanding design offer peace of mind in windy or wet weather. The rainfly can be rolled up for stargazing and better ventilation, and the tent’s symmetrical shape makes it easy to split the load between two backpacks. Internal pockets and gear loops help keep things organized. This tent is ideal for backpackers who want a reliable, hassle-free shelter for everything from local overnights to longer treks, and its straightforward design is especially appealing for those new to the outdoors.
