Any suggestion on a 2-3 man tent that would fit well in a Soltice GT Kayak

We've been using the 3-person REI Taj for the past few years, usually with 3 adults. It's kept us dry in some good downpours, held up well in wind and enough room for three adults with some of our gear. For a comfortable 3 person tent it's pretty compact.

I use a Eureka Woodlands 300 full fly tent. I paid $100.00 Canadian. It is 7' x 7' is is classed as a 2/3 man tent. Maybe it could be used as a 3 man on Brokeback Mountain but anywhere else it's only good for as a 2 man. I use it for myself with lots of room for gear.
When I bought the tent I tested it in the back yard during a huge storm. It stayed completely dry. It is a great tent for the price. It folds up small. I paddle out of a Tempest 170 and a Tsunami 140. I have used this tent on multiday kayak trips with both kayaks. A great tent.
I spent a good while looking for a full fly tent with a square pbase in the size of approx 7' x 7'. This was the best tent I could find to meet my criteria. It was just a bonus that the tent wasn't overpriced. I don't know about other people's preferences but for me, square based tents allow for more efficient use of the tent.

It will fit fine in your Soltice GT. Good luck
