If you found a tent with a high amount of insulation rating, it would weigh a LOT more than the sleeping bag that you use in a non-insulated tent. And such a tent would be a lot bigger than your pannier could hold.
Decades ago it was common for good tents for winter use to also work well in summer because they had windows that could be zipped open or closed to adjust the amount of ventilation you get in the tent. But now most tents are designed to be much lighter weight and are more specialized for the season that they were designed for. The older tents that worked well in both winter and summer weighed a lot more than modern summer tents.
