Looking to buy a 2-person tent for my girlfriend (5'7") and I (6'2) for summer and fall camping. I've researched the Tarptent Double Rainbow quite extensively, but I thought I would ask for other suggestions. I'm looking for a tent under $300 dollars new or used that will comfortably fit myself and girlfriend with our packs (65 L and 55L), whether indoor or under vestibule. Thanks for the help!

I really like this tent.

This is the heavier and cheaper version which works well for my wife and myself. It uses trekking poles.
The TT Stratospire 2 has worked well for my wife and I. Plenty of space, dual entry, nice sized vestibules and modular.
I have the Explorer version of the Lunar Duo. While I love the tent and I love the weight savings of the silnylon, I don't love the fabric. The Outfitter is perhaps a little nicer at a really good price. Still, for the weight savings, if it fits your budget, I would get the Explorer.
I've tried quite a few tents and I'd say for under 250 (with the 20 percent off coupon), the Rei quarter dome two is a great value tent. Decent weight, free standing, double wall, double entrances, double vestibules. When I'm out with the SO, that's usually the tent I bring.
Appreciate all the suggestions.
I picked up one of these last year for when my wife goes with me. It's really bomber; it's made for scout troops and the like. I had to seam-seal it, but it's fairly straightforward. Not the lightest or most compact, but it has a ton of interior room and can't beat the price. So far I haven't had much of a problem with condensation.
