Backpacking tent

Anyone have any suggestions for a good cold weather backpacking tent. A two man sized weather proof tent?

If you are looking for a 3 season tent take a look at this one.

I've backpacked with guys that have some wazoo $300 or $400 or more tent but most are complicated to set up, expensive and heavier than they need to be.

I look for a tent that is simple with only two poles, doors on both sides, clips to the poles instead of threading, rain fly clips on and weight is no more than 5 lbs and costs no more than $200.

I use a Sierra Designs Meteor Light and love it. Light, Compact and set's up easily. Very weather tight as well. REI stocks it as $229.00

Check out Kifaru's tents. They are expensive, but are quite unique and made for hunters.

Go with a four season they hold up a lot better and are free standing and can be moved. I have a Walrus,love it used it for 6 years. www.backcountry-equipment.com/tents/4season.html

After burning a big hole in my Bibler $$$$$$ I ended up buying two less expensive but fairly nice tents. Cabelas XPG Solo and the Eureka Zeus EXO 1 man single wall. Both seem to do the job although they haven't been pushed.
