The Wanderer is not a backpacking tent, the thing weighs almost 9 pounds.
For reference:
Wanderer : 3.89 kg
Elixer 2.77 kg
Camper: 2.38 kg
Hubba Hubba : 1.76kg
I use the Elixer for car camping and the Hubba Hubba for backpacking. You can't beat it. Light as a tent gets and only a single pole setup. The whole thing is done before I can crack a beer. From my experience you can't beat the build quality of the MSRs.
Not tents specifically, but I've found the MEC in-house brand to be getting quite poor in recent years.

Oh yeah. I must have misread the weight for the Wanderer 2. I thought it was 2.89kg. That is on the heavy side. I only ruled out the Hubba Hubba because of cost vs benefits of the other tents. I was hoping to get 2 of them so we have more flexibility when camping as a family or going out alone. I saw somebody selling a Nook 2 on Kijiji for pretty cheap though. Is that a predecessor of the Hubba Hubba?
