I picked up the REI Chrysalis UL - 1 person free standing tent.



The total package is just at 3 pounds. But if you leave the rain fly at home (easy to do in Ariz.) it comes in at 2 pounds - and packs in a Nelgene, or a gap, air pocket or corner in your pack! poles just fit anywhere.

It's on REI Outlet for just under $125.

I'm 6'2" and I fill every inch of it - but still able to toss and turn (a little) and get dressed inside. There is a tad of room on the side to put some gear - but not much. change of clothes, teva's, TP, water light etc.

If you are looking to shave 2 pounds off your tent carry weight and only need a 1 person tent - and wont sacrific full coverage from bugs and such - I highly recommend it.
