I've been using a trusty Vango Banshee 200 (2.4kg) for about ten years now and have gotten several times its original £90 price tag out of it. I love the thing, but its a bit knackered now and I'm ready to graduate to something a bit more bling.
I'm looking for something three-season to use in UK weekend and sometimes longer backpacking/bikepacking trips.
I'm looking for something laughably lightweight, no more than half the weight of the Banshee. Sub 1.2kg factoring in bags/pegs/footprint etc. So ideally a listed weight well under this.
Ideally it would be well ventilated as well so to avoid condensation - I sleep pretty warm so can handle a bit of a breeze.
The range listed on Ultralight Outdoor Gear for 1man tents is pretty baffling but from what I can tell, the US brands Nemo and Big Agnes tents aren't really going to take much bad weather and the Terra Nova and Nordisk tents generate a lot of condensation. But maybe I'm wrong... This leaves tents from Macpac, MSR, Vaude, Vango, Hilleberg and Marmot....

I like the look of the Vaude Hogan, Big Agnes Copper Spur, Vango F10 Helium, and MSR Freelite....
Hopefully people have some experience with these??
