Unless you serious backpacking duo get a tent with doors and vestibules on either side instead of one entrance in the front. There are plenty of midweight backpacking tents with this.

Yeah but this is a 3-4 season tent. Meaning its a bit heavier. Sure you can get a dyneema tent with all the bells and whistles that weights less, but it's also 800+ dollars.
