Eureka – Spitfire One Person Tent
Solo Eureka Spitfire Tent Review
If you need more room than the Solitare tent can provide, you may want to check this guy out. It has enough head room that you can probably sit up straight in it. Unlike man other solo tents, this one has a side entry, making it easy to get in and out of. Only down side here is the tent requires two stakes to setup.

Mountainsmith Edge
A great group backpacking tent, the Moutainsmith Edge can hold three people and gear without making everyone feel packed in. the vestibule has 15 square feet of space, plenty of room for 3 peoples gear. Divided the weight of this tent between you and your buddies and it will weigh next to nothing.
