I've just bought a Coleman Viper for around £40 from World of Camping,
ordered online. It packs up very small and is reasonably light at a
shade over 2Kg. It's nice and easy to pitch. The inner goes up before
the fly which might be an issue if you have to put it up in the rain.
You can put the fly and the inner up together but I think this is a bit
of a faff.
I've spent 3 nights in it so far - one near the house to test it and 2
wild camping with the bike. I've stayed comfortable and dry despite
camping out in January and February. Only had light drizzle to cope
with up to now though. So far it seems to be a perfectly acceptable one
man tent, and very good value for the price.
On the test night I was rumbled by my cat Felix who hurled himself at
the flysheet until I unzipped the flap and let him in. He spent most of
the night curled up beside my sleeping bag.
