I am new to backpacking (I've done plenty of carcamping) but I want to start doing some solo overnight backpacking trips and am looking at buying either a 1 or 2 person tent to do overnight backpacking trips with. My budget is under $200.00, and after doing a lot of research I have found the North Face Stormbreak 1. I have read good reviews, but does anyone have experience with this and can shed light on the Pro's and Con's?

My specific questions for this are, for this price of around $129.00 for the NF StormBreak1, are there better tents? I am wrestling between a 1 person or 2 person tent, as in the future I MAY be going backpacking with my fiance if I can ever convince her to set foot outdoors! I know this also means more room for personal solo use, but I'm not a fan of the extra weight.

Any advice for a newbie would be greatly apprecaited! Thank you!
