WTB: Lightweight Tent, 1P, Sub 2lb, Under $200
I've been a hammock camper for a few years. The only time I've gone to ground since 2011 is for Philmont in 2013. Philmont does not allow hammocks. In 2013, I shared a reasonably light tent with a fellow leader. We are planning our trek for 2016 and this time I want to use a solo tent and want to keep my Big 3 to less than 6lbs. I have the pack (Gossamer Gear, 28oz or so). I'm planning on making a down quilt, and with the pad,that should a little over 2 lbs. This leaves me with up to 2 lbs for the tent. Less will be better.
I haven't done tons of research on light one-person tents, but I do like the Tarptent Contrail, ProTrail and Notch. I'm open to other options. My requirements are:
- 1 Person, or 1+
- 3 season
- Under 2 lbs
- Prefer double wall, but am open to either. In either case, ventilation is important.
- Can't require tying to trees for support (Philmont rules)
- Can't be a Bivy (another Philmont rule)
- Must be fully enclosed (i.e. can't be a tarp or fly covering a ground cloth, per Philmont)
- I will be using trekking poles, so that will be available to support the tent.
- Budget is up to $200.
Thanks,
