There are some reviews on the net somewhere. That is pretty light for
a two person shelter, but do you need a such a big shelter?

Ditto on the Silshelter or if you want to go even lighter and have the
$, there is the one person GG Spinnshelter:

You could always get one of the various bug nets variations to use
when bugs are a problem.
