New for 2021 is a DCF version of Gossamer Gear’s “The Two,” their extremely popular trekking pole tent. Using DCF fabric shaves the weight down to just over a pound. Gossamer Gear DCF TWO’s single-walled design makes pitching easy, and there is a good amount of livable space for the weight — and we like the wider taper for the head end of the tent. We found it’s dual trekking pole design surprisingly storm-worthy and wind resistant. Though many single-walled tents can have condensation issues, the DCF Two has plenty of ventilation options (including overhanging door awnings) and with good campsite selection it does quite well. Of note is the tent’s 7d nylon floor which will likely require a ground sheet under the tent floor. As such we suggest getting a Gossamer Gear POLYCRYO (tent footprint/ground-sheet). BEST FOR: Backpackers who want one of the very lightest two person tents on the market with a good feature set, good weather resistance, and good ventilation (for a single walled tent).
