Kelty Crestone 1 Tent 1-Person 3-Season
Decent value, good construction

This tent is built well and thrives in a car-camping situation where you don't want to share a three person tent with two newly-weds. Or maybe your friend has a "great, huge tent that is super strong" that he bought at Target and you don't want to wake up to a face full of wet nylon when the tent pancakes in the wind.
Drawbacks: for a solo tent, 4lbs is a little hefty. It seems to me that you could shave quite a few ounces by changing out the supplied rail-road nails that serve as stakes. And the tent isn't free-stnading, so you'd better be camping some place that you can get the stakes driven in quite well.
Nevertheless, the vestibule will hold a pack and the interior is rather roomy for a one person rig.
