Recently got the osmo dragonfly 2p bikepack edition and can absolutely recommend it. Great value for money, small packsize, very roomy and smart features.
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!
This is the tent I'm bringing on a 3-4 months Himalaya trip (plus more). I've used it a handful times now and it's pretty fantastic. The bikepack version just makes the poles much shorter when folded, so it fits in bags easier.
I have a nemo osmo dragonfly 2. I am in the UK so I know about the weather issues! It meets all your requirements except it pitches fly first. However, it pitches so quickly that even in the rain (which I have obviously had to pitch in several times!) this isn’t a problem and inside the tent has never got wet. The good point are: - This is a huge tent for its weight (1.5kg) it will work for your height, you will be able to sit up in it too. It’ll be spatius for just you, cosy for 2. - The osmo material is amazing in the rain and stays taught, which is onto the next point…. - I’ve camped in 40mph wind and lashing rain in Dartmoor and it didn’t miss a beat, no leaks and I felt secure all night. - it pitches in less than 5 minutes alone, once you’ve got the hang of it. - it’s around £500 but you can find it on sale for less than this. There’s lots of clever features, that make it just so nice to pitch and carry, and use- - it’s rotationally symmetrical so pitching and aligning the fly and outer is so easy - there’s a stuff sack for splitting the tent and poles and compressing the tent part - there’s two entrances and landing zones which is great when camping with a friend - the sides open up nice and wide for those morning sunrise views - there’s strategically placed pockets for keeping things like your phone and torch to hand in the night The only things I don’t like about it are the colour- I wish it was a darker more stealthy shade of green, and it doesn’t come with enough pegs for the guy lines (necessary with our winds) so I had to buy more.
I got the osmo nemo dragonfly on sale for £350. It might be worth seeing if you can get this one on offer as it’s a great tent and fits the requirements
I got a Nemo dragonfly osmo 2 for $75 at REI resupply, fixed the huge rip in the fly (why it was $75) and it’s been absolutely awesome for a couple years now
The tent isn't the only thing on your rear rack in that photo, is it? I've been using the NEMO Dragonfly OSMO 2P bikepacking model as a solo tent. It weighs a touch over 3lbs and will fit between the drops on 42cm bars, can get smaller if I put the poles elsewhere on the bike. Mine is in a sort of spruce green/olive drab color scheme, so a lot more subtle than some of the colors from Big Agnes and others.
I use a NEMO Dragonfly 2P and am very happy with it.
I have a Kelty discovery Trail 2 that has been excellent over the last few years. I JUST picked up a Nemo Dragonfly Osmo 2 from REI on sale and its AWESOME.
