Helix 1-Person Tent

Alps mountaineering Lynx series is a great option IMO. Our troop uses the 3 person variant but they do make a 1 and a 2 person size. You do sacrifice a little bulk and weight for very good durability. A lighter but less durable option would be the Alps Mountaineering Helix. Mesh walls and thinner nylon. I have the 2 person size and it’s perfect for 1 person plus gear. This one might be a little outside your budget though.

I got a one person Alps mountaineering tent from Amazon about ten years ago for $80. One of my best all time purchases. Its not the lightest, but its durable, easy to set up, and packs down nicely. I still use it regularly and I literally work for Backcountry with amazing pro deals on top gear.

Just here to say ALPS doesn’t get a lot of love because they aren’t one of the major brands but I have a 1 person from them and it’s been amazing. Great bang for your buck especially if weight isn’t an issue.

Look into Coleman for decent and affordable. I've been happy with Alps Mountaineering on Amazon. Best suggestions I can offer.

All the tents from Alps mountaineering have treated me very well in wind and rain. Colemans not so much.

Yeah the marketing is so bad. There are 3 season tents that are better suited for colder climates but they aren't advertised like that. So weird. In the south, I recommend Kelty tents a lot because their 2 layer tents have almost-full mesh bodies. I notice that people in the northern US swear by Alps Mountaineering tents... their bodies happen to have a lot less mesh in the body. They're like 3.5 season tents, lol (but they'd be bad in the south).
