Looking for a good one person tent
Looking for a good one person tent
If you use trekking poles, the SMD skyscape scout is 34oz and $125. Its the best deal , esp for the weight.
If you find any $1.00 tents, buy two - I'll take the other off your hands for $2.00!! I'll pay the shipping !!
Still like my SoLong 6:

I like the Big Agnes Flying Creek UL1. You can generally find one for under $200, new. If you go used, you could probably find one even cheaper.
Hennessy Expedition
WBBB single layer
Both are $160. If you are under 200 lbs, the WBBB 1.1 single is only 20 oz. Hennessys are heavier, my expedition is about 1.5 kg

I see that you are after a TENT, but what you want is a raft .
Just inflate it , turn it upside down and you have a comfy mat .
If it starts raining have it up the right way and put a tarp on top.
Look at the Eureka Spitfire solo. Reasonably priced for a hardy, lightweight tent.
Another one over the price limit, but I have one of these an older model, the newer one is just over 2 pounds for $229:

For an extra $40 bucks you could do a Tarptent Contrail and have a 24 ounce quality tent!
My budget was $140 or so and like hikernutcasey said, the tarptent is probably the best cheapy that has good quality. I'd prefer the Moment design myself but look around for a used ones as well.
are you dead set on using a traditional tent? would you consider a tarp? for about 15oz an 8'x10' tarp affords you 3x the amount of covered "living space" and can be used in multiple different pitches. Usually cheaper than most tents if you opt for SilNylon, Cuben can end up costing a bit but is crazy light.
