Sierra Designs Vapor Light 2 Tent: 2-Person 3-Season
Sweet 1-Person Tent
By Christopher Smith

This is a great little tent. It's billed as a 2-person tent, but I wouldn't want to share it with anyone. I love the stake system for the vestibule. It's very easy to tighten and loosen the vestibule portion of the fly. This is also a snap to set up and has lots of headroom. Seems like a similar design to the Big Agnes Seedhouse, but I liked this tent more. The zippers aren't as stiff and it's got a little more headroom thanks to the front two little poles.
Anyone over 6 ft. would probably want the XL version:
