Hyperlite Mountain Gear Mid 1 I also have a Nemo Dragonfly Osmo bikepacking 1p, which is considerably more glamorous than the HMG, but after my recent trip I've decided that I don't need all the bells and whistles of the Nemo and that I'm gonna sell it and just keep the minimalist HMG.
Nemo Osmo Dragonfly 1p - it’s like 2 lbs, packs up small, and has a big vestibule for your stuff if it’s raining. That is the key. I weathered a 5 day monsoon in the sierras in this tent and it held up.
I have the Nemo Osmo dragonfly 1p and it is amazing. Only 2 lbs and has weathered many storms. Mesh is great when you don’t want to use the fly. Best park is the extra large vestibule to keep your stuff in.
No it is great. The best part is that you can keep your bag under it during storms and keep it dry. Also it makes the tent feel much more spacious even though it is a very light one person.
I had the 1 person Tungsten and it’s a really solid tent. Rode out heavy thunderstorms with hail dry as a bone. Only drawback is the weight. I’m old (49) and have dough so I upgraded to Nemo Dragonfly 1p and it’s like half the weight. Gave my Tungsten to a friend’s son who is like 20 and has the energy to carry a heavier tent
Nemo makes great stuff; have two of their tents and love them both. I have the 1p Dragonfly and it has held up well in pretty high winds in the desert. The Tracker has the “snow skirt” feature on the rain fly but I don’t know that I’d expect the pole structure to hold up to too much of a snow load; same for the Hornet. Others may have more experience with those tents in snow. If you haven’t checked out the Slingfin Portal, that might fit your bill. Haven’t used it myself but reviewers I trust give it high marks in inclement weather.
I have the Nemo dragonfly 1p. Spring for the 2p instead. It's only slightly heavier and provides more room.
I got a Nemo dragonfly 1p on close out for $269 recently. Great option at that price. Easy to set up, roomy, and very lightweight. Not sure what your budget is.
Bikepacking tent would be the best option. My nemo dragonfly osmo bikepacking tent fits in my carry on bag. It has super short poles.
Neemo dragonfly bikepack 1p or 2p (they packdown the same)
Its the best tent ive ever owned!
