I’ve used the Half Dome 2 tent on several backpacking trips, and it’s hands down one of the best 2-person backpacking tents I’ve owned. Setup is quick, and the ventilation keeps condensation low even on humid nights.

This 2-person tent is perfect for weekend camping. The included footprint really protects the floor, and the rainfly held up flawlessly during a heavy downpour. Highly recommend for anyone looking to buy camping tent with rainfly included.

Great balance of space and weight. The tent’s design feels roomy for two adults, and the quality materials used show in every detail. Definitely a top rated tent footprint for backpacking use.
