I do, mostly because I live here. You might need to be more specific with your requirements. What are you looking for specifically? The 'two person' tents there are all really 1.5 person tents and I wouldn't want to share them for any extended period of time, personally. Especially with what sounds like a lot of gear on some trips.
What is your budget? How important is weight to you? Do you want freestanding or semi freestanding? Have you considered hiking pole tents? (You can buy poles for when used while bikepacking). What geographical area will they be used in? (I ask because of humidity) Would you consider single wall or double wall only? Are you already in the U.S.? If so are you an REI member? They have a 20% off code for all members at the moment, so you can save big on an expensive tent if REI is your chosen route.
I liked my UL2 - it was a good tent and relatively light but not that light versus some single wall options that are cheaper. Though it sounds like double wall will be what you need if used in the snow regularly.

Hey party people. Does anyone know the North American tent market well?
Big Agnes? There are bikepack specific versions with poles that pack smaller and a few other bike freindly features.
Happy with the copper spur UL2, very roomy 1 person and pretty OK for 2 people. Fits between my 38cm handlebars.

Hey party people. Does anyone know the North American tent market well?
We're after a two person tent for bikepacking, ski touring traverses, hiking and general lightweight shenanigans. It would be ideal if it could fit in frame bags on a mountainbike and also be durable enough for a snowstorm!
We were taking a look at this https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/camping-and-hiking/best-backpacking-tent and the Nemo Dragonfly 2 looks like a good option.
Any thoughts?
