I'm going to agree with JohnDavid to some extent. Just for the record, I have owned: Hilleberg Nallo 2, Stephenson 2R, Gossamer Gear Squall Classic; currently have Stephenson 2C and Moonbow custom tent.

But for sunny camping, I have returned to my old Texsport Knollwood Bivy Tent on many occasions. $25, 2 person tent 34.3oz, stock poles 10oz. Nice to pull this out and go when inbetween other tents. It is not super heavy, I like the space/setup and lack of condensation. No I have not had this out in a pouring 8 hour rain and do not intend to; there is this thing called a weather forecast I always check before I go....

Anyway, just my 2 cents.
