I haven't purchased a new tent for many years. Fortunately when you buy something good it lasts. I went from backing to bike-packing and I needed e new tent. I've been looking at the BA bike pack specific tents b/c of all their bike pack specific features -- weight, shorter poles, stuff sack, etc., but hesitated on the price. Finally, when CampSaver had a sale I made the purchase HV UL2 w/ foot print. Although I have not used it bike packing yet. I have set it up X2 and it's SWEET. I bought it for bike packing but you can obviously use it for anything. It's simple to set-up and pack away. Light and feature rich. Yes, it's pricy and I would wait to get it on sale. There are other light bike pack tents out there but this tent has the most features . . . so wait and buy the most tent you can, b/c you will not want to buy another one for many years. By the way I plan on carring the tent on my front "drop handle bars" which are 44mm wide and it fits perfect!
