you could go scout and make your own for pennies on the dollar compared to the chinese made products - and it WILL last a heck of a lot longer -

Go to an army / navy surplus store and pick up two old poncho's, the olive drab rubber green ones.

You can connect two of them to make an "alpha" tent, or "A" frame tent.
you can use one, but usually as a lean to.....

I've owned a variety ot tents, but the ones that have worked the best for me are the dome tents like the Coleman in a previously-posted link. A so-called 3-person tent is easy to pitch, has room for 1-2 people and gear, and has enough headroom for getting dressed.

My current one was on sale at Big5 Sports for $34.95. Add a $4 tube of seam sealer to waterproof the seams on tent body & rainfly.
