    This is the one I would consider if I were to look at a ground option again

    You have the option of using the outer only, inner only or both and if you look at the writeup and vid the weight can be kept down by using walking poles instead of carrying a tent pole.

    one night, one man, condensation isn't so bad in single skin...especially if you can keep the door open... more than that though and you'll be looking for a news paper to dry it out with

    Thanks for the link ... Looks pretty sound for a lightweight option.

    If Robert Saunders are still in business then I'd go with them. Bob Saunders really started the lightweight tent revolution. The trouble is he recently passed on and I'm not sure if the company trading.
    Whatever tent I bought, it would have to be double skinned. A few years ago, I was given a tent to test and I had 3 days of misery with it. One of the seams leaked and that was bad enough but the condensation that streamed down the inside was remarkable
    Only my dog can judge me
