When you go with REI you are getting quality, durability, weight difference and essentially the best bang for your buck. There are more expensive brands and cheaper brands too but i think REI hits the sweet spot, while still pricy its the best balance you can get. Also id look into it but this one stays warmer too.
With that being said my broke ass still has a cheap random tent 😂
Some of us aim for a bit more adventure than car camping, thanks.
If you plan to camp at a campground near a road, you don't need this tent. There are much cheaper tents that will suit you perfectly.
If you only go ultralight, you don't need this tent. There are lighter tents out there, although oftentimes more expensive.
If you don't plan on camping in the winter/snow, you don't need this tent. There are cheaper, lighter tents for the other 3 seasons.
This tent is for backpackers who want a reasonably light double-walled tent with adjustable ventilation that will serve them from summer through winter and stay solid through moderately heavy winds near the treeline.
Plenty of people can make do with a Coleman tent or their car and that's perfectly fine. This isn't for you. But don't tell other people what they need, as if all of us camp in the same way. Hell if I'd bring an Ozark Trail tent on the PCT.

Personally I'm just taking a Home Depot tarp and a sleeping bag. I call that "The Bearrito" especially when I store all my food in my pockets.

fwiw, I'm not an ultra lighter, but trimming a few pounds where you can will make for a more comfortable hike
edit: NVM I looked around online and this seems to be a reasonable weight for a non-UL tent. having the frame for easier setup might be worth it.
my 2 lb trekking pole tent is kind of a pain in the ass to set up

Vs my Black diamond with dual vestibules- i cant wait for my next adventure. I miss when STP (sierra trading post) had great deals.
Is there UV or super UV resistant tents?
Would like to do that again.
If you were are wondering it cost like $50 to camp there 1/4 mile away from beach. I thought it would be nicer and cheaper to boot if we just had car packed. Set alarm for 3AM, drive to beach, get there when the opened at 5:30AM, pay the $20 instead of $50, and set up on beach and sleep in, then wake up on beach. Worked except the sunburn, which made it mostly a fail.

Even with UV blocking tents you're going to get burned by sleeping under one. The only way to really prevent that is by using a tent so thick or reflective that light doesn't get through.
