The Mountain Hardware Sprite is the tent I just bought to replace my two person tent since I knew I was going to be solo. I also purchased it for $99 and its footprint for $21.
Good things
1. Price, yay!
2. It only has two poles, one medium one short so the weight is wonderful.
3. It has an area near your head for books and personal items you might be using while in the tent.
4. The rain cover is for a slightly larger area than the tent and will cover your backpack
Bad things
1. Although it is quick to set up the poles, you simply must put in the stakes. I hate staking, lots of times I'll sleep outdoors on the footprint to avoid setting up the tent and be able to look at the stars
But I'm used to arid climate with very few mosquitos, no clue how it is in the UK?
2. Sitting up in the one person is impossible
The sale that REI was having for only 99 dollars ended this weekend I think though...
Normal price is 150.
