Can anyone tell me how well either the Tarptent Stratospire 1 or the Scarp 1 would work for two slim, not so tall people, plus gear? Want a light tent / shelter for both solo and two-person use. Needs to be ok in wind too.

With or without the inner? How wide are your sleeping pads?
Without the inner, both are comfortably large enough for two. With the inner, the Stratospire is going to give you more leeway than the Scarp, as the SS inner can be adjusted to take two 20" wide pads.
Wind resistance is excellent on the Stratospire; its footprint is large for a 1P shelter however.
The Scarp 1 can also be adjusted to take 2x 50cm wide mats.

Note the modified inner hook up.
Tight but I have seen tents sold as double that are smaller than that.
This is another version, this time with 2x 6' mats :

Great photo illustrations. I'd-a never thunk of rolling back the Scarp's fly like that. But then I'm a geezer – an excuse I often use.
That photo of the Scarp 1 with two mattresses inside is persactly why I have the Moment DW. It's smaller, lighter and all the room I need, even for winter camping.
