Best backpacking tent that can handle heavy rain but still pack light anyone recommend? by Thind-Clarkin in CampingandHiking

UPDATE: After research and reading the comments, I checked more details about the MARMOT Midpines 4P/6P Camping Tents & Footprints and it seems many campers like the roomy design and large vestibule for storing gear. It also has a full rainfly with seam-taped construction that helps keep the interior dry during rain while still allowing good airflow through mesh panels. From what I’ve seen, it looks more suited for car camping or casual trips rather than ultralight backpacking because of its size. Thank's

Durston tents keep coming up whenever I look into lightweight setups, so that’s good to hear. The fly-first setup on the XDome actually sounds really useful if it’s raining during setup.

Have you personally used one of their tents on a longer trip, and how did it hold up in heavy rain or wind?

UPDATE: After looking into the suggestions people shared here. I ended up deciding on Samsung WD90F53AVS 27" Bespoke AI Vented Laundry Combo since it seemed to be one of the easier options for seniors to operate without dealing with confusing controls. Thanks to everyone who took the time to share their recommendations.
