Re: 2 Person, 4 Season Tents
My bivy is gortex made by tiaga. Nothing but a wet bag by morning. Not worth the money. Thats just my experience.
I have used a tarp for years. Way more comfortable than a bivy. Remember the weather can change in an instant in the mountains. Snow or rain and a bivy will = you going home early.

and more on the topic i have recently moved away from sleeping under a tarp aswell and now have a ultralight teepee. I think it will give me a little more versatility above the tree line and in bad weather. The option of adding a wood burning stove is also a bonus.
Re: 2 Person, 4 Season Tents
Hmmm disagree..lol..most important is reliable tent..wont leak...or rip...flying in for sheep..getting wet is a disaster, and you can count on wind.if your tent leaks..which sleeping bag becomes more a moot point ?
I have a 2 person mountain hardware tent..approx 2 pounds..not going to do much better than that I expect.
The 2 person is not sized for 2 folks my size.lbut is for 2 average sized guys..or better yet guy and gal.
The materials have changed 10d..20 d..no experience with this material..
In 15 years using 2 different tents by mountain hardware..not 1 drop of water..and using a Hillenberg..which developed condensation issues. .my fault? Or tent..
My 4 season tent had 1 foot of snow on top. .no issues..
I usually sleep warmer..built in insulation..R..20...have 4 different sleeping bags?.3 which are light weight sheep camp tents..I believe my go to sleeping bag is also a mountsin hardware

I have only used it once but it was in the snow and i am more than happy with my choice. Its made over seas and cost about 1/4 the price of the exact tent with a name brand on the label.
So where do we find this tent?

Its called a flames creed. You can get them from ali express. I also got a small one man tent at the same time. Do a Google search and you will find some pictures and some stellar reviews by the hiking community.
