Thread: small packing tent vs bivvy

Kiaora
I'm after a shelter that packs down small as the main criteria other than cost. I'm llooking mostly in the up to $300 range.
Has anybody had any experience with the Macpac sololight? That looks similar to what I think I'm looking for, a little bit expensive but along the right tracks.
I started off thinking bivi bag and fly was the way to go but have slowly progressed to thinking maybe just a small tent would be good.
Any recommendations for cheap, small tents?
Cheers
Tom
