NEMO Equipment Inc. Gogo Solo Tent: 1-Person 3-Season - 2008 BCS
Available Colors / Styles
Revolutionary airbeams replace poles in the Nemo Gogo Solo Tent, drastically reducing set-up time to 15 seconds, cutting weight to a mere 2.2lb, and shrinking packed size to 7 x 5.5in. The Gogo's shape affords plenty of elbow and shoulder room, and an innovative Swallotail maximizes inner space and tensions the bivy off of your sleeping bag. An Exofly front canopy has a mesh screen for clear skies and a vestibule for nasty weather.
Bottom Line: When you're 20,000 leagues under the stars, Nemo's got you covered.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Is there a loop to attach a small light on the hoop above your head for reading?

Yep, there's a hook on the center of the airbeam to hang your headlamp from.

I loved this tent, it is light, heavier than a true bivy, but more luxurious too. I took it for a 6-day eastern sierra trip in summer, never got all damp inside from condensation (perhaps cause I am short - I wasn't touching the fabric and avoided this potential problem). I found it easy to set up. Also, it was a great refuge from mosquitos (a true bivy would not have given me mozzie free reading room and barely room to change clothes.) Only downsides I see are that if you had a problem with the tube, changing it would be a pain. Also, you have to stake this tent which limits where you can camp.

Yes, it should definitely fit a small pack.

Better than a bivy

5 nights without rain in Nankoweap, Grand Canyon this tent was perfect, not yet sure how I will enjoy with rain, but I will bet it's better than a bivy.
Set up was easy, used a different stuff sack to save weight but still brought the small pump, (barely over 2 pounds this way), could have done without it. The pump allows you to increase the air pressure in the bladder, but in calm weather is not needed. Works best when staked out at foot and head, but one night on a rock slab used a rock on the head point and my hiking pole through the feet loops with a rock on top and it held just fine, faster set-up and take-down. Plenty of room inside, able to watch the stars through the screen.
Only a half pound more than my bivy, and packs nearly as small, tough call what to take on the next trip.

I found the following quote from one of Nemo's websites. I beleive it addresses your question.
"When properly inflated, NEMO's airbeams can be considerably stronger than traditional aluminum tent poles. In testing, the larger Morpho airbeam withstood more than twice the downward force compared to a standard tent pole"

I have yet to have problems with it. And as far as durability goes, it holds up very well. Super strong winds might pose a problem though.

NEMO GO GO

These guys are great from the lifetime guarantee, free shipping, return anytime, friendly approach. The NEMO go go is one of the best constructed solo tents I've seen. I do worry that the narrow tunnel design will contact the sleeping bag and wick moisture to the bag.

Can a 3-season tent handle light to moderate snow conditions. For instance, if I were backpacking in the Sequoias just before snow season and caught first snow fall?

having spoken to nemo customer service they advised that what keeps the gogo from being rated 4-seasons is that the inflater valve for the airbeam can freeze from the moisture in your breath.

I like your initials--same as mine. Anyways, I've used my three-season tent plenty of times in moderate snow conditions in the winter in Alaska. 3-season tents have no place in a mountaineering or alpine environment where extreme winds and heavy snow loads are common, but they will work fine for a good deal of winter backpacking and camping trips.

Condensation

I used this bivy in Alaska last year (late summer - early fall). If you are in for lightweight, this is a good option.
Comparing to the conventional bivy, this is pretty good. But it's definitely not something you will be comfortable it.
First of all, I woke up every morning wet. The condensation on the inner wall is terrible. You can feel water dripping down.
Second issue, it's pratically pretty hard to climb into this small tent/bivy. Imagine that you have to go leg in first. It will be especially hard if it's raining and your tent is surrounded by mud. You do not want to touch the mud when you work your way into the tent, so it will be a challenging task to get into the tent feet first without your body touching the ground.
if you think you can live with these two problems, then go for it by all mean. it's really light and pack small.

Does this tent have to be staked down? or can it be used free-standing??

The NEMO is not a free-standing tent & therefore has to be staked out.

I'm 6'4" as well. Tent length is a real issue. If they are too small your mummy bag will get wet from your feet being against the tent wall. I share a Eureka Zeus 3 on the trail. The zeus three has a foot print that is 95 inches long. This is long enough. For a solo tent I'm looking at the E! Spitfire. It is advertised at 9' (108") but some of that will be not usable for our head or feet. Haven't actually got in one yet. IT's fairly light and not extremely expensive. Might check out tarptent.com. These are pretty long tents too. Very light but bring your wallet.

You just stick a stick or small object between two loops on the swallowtail. No guy out necessary.

the tent's fly material is a waterproof-breathable shell, as long as you seal the tent's zippers during the storm...your sleeping bag should stay nice and dry.
