I am looking for a suitable 4 season, 1-2 person shelter that is lightweight & portable for backpacking, that will allow me to heat up and cook in with a small stove (for those lovely windy, rainy winter days in the uk we all are so fond of)

I have been looking at tipi/teepee's - the golite hex 2/3 seems to offer good space/weight ratio. A small enough area to heat with a portable stove. Some mixed reviews on the internet, with condensation seeming to be a more noticeable problem.

Anybody own a hex 2/3? Any other ideas/suggestions? Would be willing to invest the right kind of money in something that has been 'proven in the field'.

Own a Hex 3, condensation never a problem but I always pitch it with a good air gap at the base (I use the 'bathtub' groundsheet!) and as long as it's not blowing force ten its been fine.
