You might look in the forums on www.backpacking.net for info on light shelters. I know Jim S has given up on them because some of the advice from the ultralight fanatics is a bit sketchy, but there are lot of posts regarding tents.
The Hilleberg Akto gets good reviews (I've never seen one in person myself) but they are pricey. There is a post on the site with a long list of lightweight shelters organized by weight-I can post it here if anyone is interested.

I'm looking for a solid one person tent or a bivy sack. Would prefer a tent so I have some head room and such, but I'm trying to go as light as possible (3 pounds or less?). Any recommendations? Price, as usual, is a factor.

P.S. I'm 6'4" so no short tents please.
