Mountain Hardware 4-Season Tent: was $749 now $449 @ Backcountry
This two-person, four-season tent is made with ripstop, waterproof fabric that can endure every element. One happy customer writes it's not luxurious or super spacious, "but very bomber," we had no issue withstanding 30-plus MPH winds.  The price tag is steep, but this is the sort of tent you need for extreme adventures (one reviewer successfully tapped it at the base of a Himalayan wall at 4500m).
