Tarps aren't for everyone but I'd check out Tarptent's rangeStamina wrote:Thank you for your replys. The BA copper spur is one I would consider. Another one I might consider is the Macpac microlight. They are both a little heavier than what I had considered previously. Need to read a few reviews and have a look in store.
Tarps are not something I would go for.

I have a MacPac duolight which is a great tent but unfortunately it's rather heavy. What are other good options for a 1 person lightweight tent, that are available now?

The stratosphere Li seems to be out of stock as well.

Ahh that sucks. Might be worth a message. Seems like they will be back in our spring if you’re not in a rush. And worth keeping an eye out for Tarptent ‘Blem’ versions. No difference in strength and durability. In fact they state they are probably stronger, they just don’t look as clean with the extra tape. I don’t really think dyneema looks great anyway and not the reason I bought one. Some significant savings to be had going that direction.Stamina wrote:Dexter wrote:Absolutely love my Tarptent stratospire Li. But also really keen to grab one of those Ali tents to give them a go.

It’s called Illumina and I think it’s a nature hike design. It’s about 1.5kg, but comes with an extra useful footprint which adds another 250g if you use it. It’s 2 person, or a very comfy 1 person. Very durable, good airflow and low condensation, very good in high winds, rain, moderate snow and only about $250.
Good height for sitting in and vestibule plenty for one.
Mine has taken a battering in some fowl weather high in the Alps, but never let me down.
Might be worth a look.
