If you are a light-weight backpacking type, you might want to consider one of the Big Sky International tents. We used a two-man Evolution at Philmont last summer and loved it (and still do). The two-man has two vestibules and two doors and weighs in somewhere around 3 pounds. The one-person tent is even lighter (maybe 2 pounds). Sometimes there is a bit of a wait to get one, but the tents are really awesome. Here's the link:

>>>Are adults allowed to use 1 man tents?
It seems like our Ranger said no in 2006.<<<

They just don't want you to show up with a bivy that looks like a log for a bear (real size as opposed to mini-bears) to roll over looking for crawly things. I was odd man out last trip and used a Serria Designs 2 man clip cd tent which was light enough for me to carry and really comfortable at night.
