I am conflicted as to what my first lighter shelter set up should be. I am tired of lugging around my heavy 2 person tent on solo trips. I want something light but good for heavy rain and bugs. I was thinking about the MSR thru hiker mesh house 1 pole shelter or the outdoor research helium bivy.

My concern for the mesh tent and tarp is that I will just wake up soaked from morning dew and rain splash as my tent fly usually blocks most of it from getting in.

For the bivy I think dew getting in wouldn't be as much of a problem because its water proof, but I wont have a refuge to do anything in away from mosquitoes/no-see-ums.

If anyone has any suggestions for light shelters / tents for under 300 I cant find any that are under 3/4lbs
