The REI Anniversary sale is the best time to buy outdoor gear before peak season. Our pick for the best two-person backpacking tent, REI Half Dome SL 2+ Tent for $210 ($90 off), is rugged and lightweight (4 pounds) and offers generous living space for two with gear. It comes with a footprint, which is a rarity these days, and the tent poles are aluminum and interchangeable, which makes them easy to set up and take down.
