I am after an ultralite as I'm not too keen on a bivy bag.

I need to be able to use it year round, so that includes height of summer and depths of winter with everything including high winds and rain, and low weight is extremely important as I'll be self sufficient. It will not need to deal with high altitude but should be good for most areas in the wilds of the UK.

I've taken a look at things like The North Face Solo 12 and the MSR Microzoid, but nearly all seem to have their problems, either with internal size or with condensation build up in the summer.

I'm 6ft 2in tall and I'll need enough space for me and my pack. Total weight I'm hoping to keep below 1.5kg, although there is some wiggle room there.

Price doesn't really enter in to it as I see it as a long term investment.

Any suggestions or help (as I'm going blind reading reviews!) would be gratefully received.

Thanks.
