Sub 500g tent that isn't dyneema

I mainly bikepack and for that I use a Durston X-dome 1p+ which on my scale is 1065g (full mesh tent+bag, carbon short pole+bag) excluding pegs.

I'm looking to do more hiking/fastpacking and I'd like to atleast cut down half the weight hopefully. Getting any of the 600-900g tents (like X-mid, Six moon designs, Tarptent etc) does not seem like a good investment, grams saved to money ratio wise.

Requirements would be:

  1. Hopefully 500g or less

  2. Needs inner tent somehow(hiking primarily in scandinavia both low-and highlands with lots of bugs/mosquitoes during summer)

  3. Not Dyneema (because of price) and packability

  4. Single or double wall doesn't really matter.

  5. I hike with trekking poles, sometimes without but then I would add carbon poles to the tent weight

  6. Fit a 186cm male with a Neoair + quilt.

Maybe I'm looking for something that doesn't exist but the ones I got so far are:

  1. Gossamer gear the one (new fabric seems good?)

  2. Nordisk Lofoten ULW1, Vango F10 Neon, Terra Nova Laser pulse (all which are more of a bivy)

  3. Tipik Pioulou single wall

Any other suggestions? Seems like the Gossamer is a good candidate but I've heard mixed reviews on stability. I probably won't overnight in storms but you never know.
