Meet the 3F UL Gear Lanshan 2 Pro tent
I believe the best lightweight 2 person backpacking tent for summer use is the 3f UL Gear Lanshan 2 Pro tent.

The Lanshan 2 Pro is a trekking pole tent that uses both trekking poles. The trekking poles need to be set at a height of 120cm. I use The Fit Life carbon trekking poles (£44 pair): https://amzn.to/3q5NBw8
It has 2 doors and 2 vestibules and an enormous inside space. Despite it's size, the Lanshan 2 Pro weighs just 915 grams making it an ultralight tent.
This version is the 3 season Lanshan Pro 2 tent making it ideal for backpacking in the summer. From my research this is the best budget 2 man ultralight tent available. This Lanshan tent also comes in Khaki and Grey colours too.
If I was going for a multi-day backpacking trip in the summer I would definitely take this tent. For this sort of trip it is in a league of it's own. Only TarpTents come close but they are considerably more money.
Inside this backpacking tent is huge. 230cm long x 120cm wide and 120cm tall. It must be one of the biggest two person tents out there. The three season tent version uses a lot of mesh but it is really well ventilated for summer use. You will need to seam seal it if you wish to use it in the rain. Fortunately this is cheap and easy to do. The 20D Nylon fly and inner is double silicone on both sides making it very resistant to water. Inside there is a pocket at the head end, two lantern hooks and 2 roof vents. The fly doesn't come down to the floor so there is plenty of ventilation from below. This is a single walled tent on the ends with doors on both sides.
