Mystique 1.5

I have a 1.5 tent, same idea.. I would never do something explicitly labeled as a one person tent. Mine works well, something from Alps Mountaineering but no longer in production.

I scored an old Alps Mountaineering Mystique 1.5 for like $10 at the local thrift store. It's cozy but it's very easy to carry, both for motocamping and backpacking.

Went on a 12-day through hike in Norway a few years ago with 2 friends. All of us bought a different tent for about the same price. One bought this Quechua one, I bought the Jack Wolfskin Gossamer, and one bought the Alps Mountaineering Mystique. The Quechua was the worst quality overall, the Mystique was the best footprint/pack size, and the Gossamer was the best bug netting/materials at the expense of packed down shape (very long, which actually helped with outside backpack attachment) and you can’t sit up in it really. I don’t remember weight differences but we all managed just fine carrying our own tents up mountains with our 65L packs, and ultimately all did the job well enough.

Anything by Alps mountaineering. Really good warrantee, great quality, good pricing.

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).
