After being inundated with tents in the big thread I still find it a mess to figure out, so maybe this will narrow it down for me.
My son needs a small, one-person tent for ocaissional scouting trips. While I usually prefer to get good stuff I dont think this warrants a big expenditure, and I dont mind he learn a lesson first hand about cheap gear. I dont want junk, walmart kid stuff, but I dont want to drop $500 either. I am thinking under $150, 3 season. Ultra-lightweight, delicate wont cut it for kids either.
Is this possible? A reasonably durable, reasonably waterproof tent under $150?
