Tarptents are not much more open than the standard double-wall. They are fully enclosed tents. A better description is "lightweight single-wall tent" since "Tarptent" is a brand name.
I'm also a female who goes solo (except for the dog) and have no problems with me and my dog in a single-wall tent. I far prefer it to a double-wall!
