Bivy sacks are light and all, but face it—sleeping in one is never much fun. Instead, bring along the ultralight Black Diamond One Shot Tent for solo shelter in the backcountry. This single-wall Black Diamond tent uses breathable Epic fabric to fight off rain and reduce condensation. The One Shot Tent's internal two-pole design makes it incredibly fast to pitch, and the small 6 x 9 pack size takes up hardly any space in your bag.
Bottom Line: Travel light and sleep comfortably thanks to Black Diamond's One Shot Tent.
If you like condensation with no storage space for 2lb 5oz go for it. For the money check out Henry Shires Tarptent Rainbow or Contrail. Same weight if not less and awesome ventilation / storage for less money. Hope this helped.
Black Diamond's site refers to the OneShot as 4 season tent, it looks like one, and one of the earlier posters said it worked fine for a buddy on a snowshoeing trip. The OneShot looks like the perfect winter tent for me, but I'd feel better knowing it was designed for that weather.
I think that it is a 4 season tent according to Black Diamond. From BD:The OneShot is a four-season, freestanding solo shelter that is roomy enough to sit up in, yet packs down small and weighs less than some bivy sacks. Using a two-and-a-half pole design similar to the Lighthouse, the OneShot offers a full side-opening door with a built-in window and another window on the opposite side with awnings over both. The canopy is built with highly water-resistant and breathable Epic by Nextec fabric, and the trapezoidal floor is made of double silicone coated nylon ripstop. To keep your small items safe, the OneShot has two interior net pockets.
It should be noted that the packed size of "6x9in" does not include the pole bag. Pole bag is about 6x16in. The tent and fly are integrated - one-piece - so the fly doesn't provide a vestibule for shoes, etc. Ventilation is a little slim, just some small window vents at the top. Those are just some negatives that I think aren't apparent, there are lots of positives.

There is no option of adding a vestibule completely compatible with this tent. There is a canopy that does come with this tent though. Here are two great reviews about this tent that might help with your purchase.
Ventilation isn't amazing in this tent (it has some smaller top vents), so if it's humid really you may have a little bit of an issue. However, if it's hot as well as humid, you can unzip the door a little and increase the ventilation by a ton.
