Article Summary:

The Evolution 2P is a fairly traditional looking double wall tent - it is built for two with all the amenities of a three-season backpacking tent: dual side doors, dual side vestibules, plenty of interior pockets to aid organization, and a mesh inner tent for maximum airflow. On paper, when you review these features, you immediately notice the similarity to tents like the MSR Hubba Hubba, Sierra Designs Hyperlight AST 2, REI Quarter Dome UL, and The North Face Vector 22. However... there’s one very notable difference: the Evolution 2P is a pound - or more - lighter than these tents. Two people, two walls, two doors, two vestibules, for 3 pounds—yes!
