Marmot EOS 1P
Found thi sMarmot tent and its looks like it might be great for lightweight solo ventures. The colors aren't too attractive (msybr it'll blend into colorful sunstes of rocks?), but its freestanding and only 3 lbs.

I've got the MSR Hubba and like it a lot.

Top Dawg, we got the MSR Hubba Hubba recently, the 2 person version of the Hubba. That tent is hands down the best tent we've owned yet. I highly recommend it.

Why don't you just buy a Bivy? Lighter weight @ 2 lbs, no set-up hassles, I love mine!

HPM is about my size. What's he say about headroom and wiggle room? Angie & I are planning on getting the Hubba2 before the end of the month, but haven't heard any first hand accounts.

The Hubba Hubba is great, we had no problems with it, except a little sleeping pad overlap, since I had my LE with me. Plenty of headroom, and having 2 doors and vestibules is great.

I tried the MSR Hubba but its only 26" wide - I smack up against the sides. The Marmot EOS 1P is 82" long (about the minimum I'd want) but 40" wide inside.

As for bivys? Not comfortable with those. I'd rather have a tent with some room inside it.
