I've cycled for years with a Marmot bivy tent and found it to be very reliable but cramped. I found a Marmot Asylum without poles and made poles to fit, all at the right price, free!

I just finished a winter tour of the Sonora desert and the tent was great. In 50mph winds on a mountain pass my only complaint was the noise, sounded like a mob beating on the sides of the tent. A lesser tent would not hold up.

I haven't used it in pouring rain yet but almost 2,000 miles of cycle touring with it and it has proved to be the best tent I've used. I really like the way it breathes in the heat, 90 degree nights last summer were bearable. If this is a two-man tent you'd better be close friends.
