I have a 2 person tent, but as not yet has been said here (or I missed it) that really only is room for 1 person and some gear. Just enough for me though, and it packs small.
You've seen my tent set up. I've seen what you bring camping too :grin:
If you want JUST enough for one then look over the 2 person tents, or maybe even 3 person tents for a bit of extra room.
If you want a lot of room then a 4 or more person tent is the way to go. But be aware that many 3 person and most 4 person tents don't pack very small for packing on a bike. OK if across the back seat, but that size packs better if you pull a trailer.
Some important things to keep in mind:
-aluminum poles won't snap in cool weather... or any other weather if well taken care of
-look for clips to attach tent to poles
-You want a rain fly that comes down to the ground on all sides (some favorite tents I've seen at STOC events don't have this but are well enough made to get away with it in all but the worse storms)
-it's nice if there is a floor saver/foot print/ground cloth (what ever they want to call it) that is made for the tent model
-also nice is 2 vestibules, one on each side, for extra gear that doesn't need to sit inside the tent... but that you want to keep dry in case it does rain. A vestibule adds space where you can put things so the inside of the tent doesn't have to be as big.
With some of this in mind you can browse a
few 3 & 4 person choices HERE on Amazon. Pricing will be more than Walmart, but the tents will last.
Some Kelty tents are very good also and can be bought at Scheels or Bass Pro Shops in town here.
ps- my favorite currently is the Alps Extreme 2 or Extreme 3 tents. But for now my current MountainSmith tent is still serviceable and I will continue to use it until otherwise.
