The Tarptent Moment is very good. I sold mine a while back as I wasn't using it. But it weighs sub 1kg. 900g I think, and takes about 60 seconds to put up. Can handle strong winds and cold temps though. Just make sure you have a decent down sleeping bag. A decent amount of space and you can easily change and sit up inside it. The only thing it suffers from (being a single skin) is misting, so you get drops of moisture on you in the night.
The Gelert Solo at £25 is great value but tiny. Good for wild/stealth camping, but not so good if you need a bit of space. It's very cramped for getting changed inside. Made worse if it's raining. And not easy to cook from within.
