I know the discussion of shelters pops up from time to time. I don't often use a tent for bikepacking, but the Terra Nova Laser Comp 1 is awesome. Instead of re-writing my review, you can read it here. It is an awesome tent.

+1 for Terra Nova Lasers

Took a Laser Photon 1 on TD 2012 and it worked very well for me. Up and down in a few minutes and only weighs 1.5 lbs.

Didn't even consider a bivi bag as I've used tents a lot throughout my life and much prefer the roof over my head feeling.

One small gripe - the titanium pegs were SO small - like large paper clips - that I gradually lost them in the dark mornings and had to replace them with something a bit more substantial and visible.

The teeny tent stakes surprised me how well they worked in the dense organic soil of Iceland (most places). But, the elastic cord stake points launched two of my fancy stakes into the stratosphere never to be found. Sad

I rode with my Laser Comp 1 in a Bedrock Bags Entrada bar bag and had plenty of room for wet socks, wet rain gear, wet neo socks, wet....  Even with all that wet gear, I could usually extract the tent carefully enough to keep the main tent body dry, even when pitching it in a full rain.

Getting my fatbike inside the tent, while I went into a town, was a shocker. Couldn't believe it fit.
