I've gotor had bivys, dome tents, wall tents, tipis- and tried or stayed in many mfr tents.
I'm no longer a tipi fan and sold my Golite SL5 with the stove I made for it. Though 3.5# total weight inc stove, the disadvantages just weren't apparent to me until I used one for a year.
I've settled on H.S. Tarptents as the best light backpacking alternative and have been using my Cloudburst [2# 4 oz with full floor and bug screen] for almost 12 years now. Super light, vent well, American made, Quality construction, fast setup and they have a model for everyone even tall guys like me that are wedged into other tents. these Tarptents have a huge following of seasoned backpackers. Much better quality than the overseas made Big Agnes type stuff and much cheaper than Kifaru.
