This seems like a good place to ask: anyone have opinions on their favorite one man tent. It needs to have rain fly and floor. Right now the best I can find without a hands on look is the Hilleberg Akto 1. It's pricey but if it stands up to wind and stays dry it'll be worth it.

Hilleberg are awesome tents. You won't regret it.

I ran the akto for a few years and it was bomber for sure. Had some other mainstream brands in 1 man tents as well. Maybe 5 years back i was holed up in a 1 man tent in a blizzard for 2.5 days preety mich 24/7 and it made me think the best 1 man tent you can find is a 2 man tent! I was going a bit bonkers being that confined and not being able to quite sit up straight at least. After that trip, i sold off my 1 mans and now run a big sky international Chinook 2 man when i am carrying my own shelter. More spacious, sturdy, similar to the weight i had with the akto and rated 4 season. Though i feel the akto is made from tougher stuff than this by a bit still.

I would have to agree with the 2 man tent. Not hinting but I used a 1 man tent a few years and got caught in rain storms with no room. Now I will only look at 2 man tents. Granted I'm 6'4" so a 2 man tent just has a little extra room especially when getting dressed in the mornings
As mentioned above it's tough to beat Hilleberg. I have a Nallo GT and love it. I often use just the fly plus a footprint or painters plastic floor if going super light weight. The Anjan is similar to the Nallo but a little bit lighter material and breathes a little better since the fly doesn't go all the way to the ground. Both have a giant vestibule that's great for cooking plus gear!

As stated above. Hard to beat a Hilleberg! There's a reason most every other tent is compared to them. JMO

Hilleberg is never a bad choice if you've got the cash and are willing to spend it. I'd prefer a pyramid tent with a liner. Much more versatile.
I actually started off with an Exped Airies tent that is almost identical to the Nallo. It actually was a great substitute for the price but not quite the quality of the Hilleberg. The Expend version had vents on both ends of the tent which was actually better than just 1 vent on the Nallo!

Well this is a (9) month old post. but I did a lot of backpacking on the AP Trail and hunting throughout the country. Get a TWO person-only a few ounces in weight more and a lot more room - if in fact you think there is any room in these shelters.
