Eureka Spitfire 1

I was in an AmeriCorps conservation corps program and chose this tent as my shelter. I slept within this tent more than I did my own apartment. It is lightweight, easy to pack, and sturdy. I needed a couple practice attempts to get it to roll up to fit in its stuff sack, but this was a quick process. I used this tent from temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit down to low teens, and from weather ranging from dust storms to torrential downpours to blizzards. It only failed me badly in a dust storm that occured in Yuma, AZ. Fine dust completely covered everything inside. My tent was not the worst victim though and compared to some others nearby, it still held up admirably. The vent at the top of tent works well in heat and humdity. I am 6'2" and managed to sleep comfortably, albeit it was tight. The big fail here: no vestibule! This is a real minimalist tent. I could line my boots up against the wall outside, and for the most part they were protected, but they did get very wet on one occasion. A wider spread from the tent on the door side of this tent for a backpack or even boots (ah-hem), would make this the ideal solo tent. Still, I never had a pole break, a zipper fail, or any stitching come undone. This will hold up beautifully in any conditions and kept everything inside nice and dry. Do invest in a footprint.

Light, durable and easy to setup, what else can you ask for? Oh yeah, how about CHEAP! Even more awesome...
I have used this for two years now and it has been fantastic in all conditions (never used it in snow). It sets up SUPER fast, especially after you have set it up a few times.
Suggestions for those looking to buy this:
- Get a good waterproofing spray, this is a rule for ALL tents
- Might be a good idea to get a sun guard spray too
- Buy some lightweight stakes, the ones that come with it arent great
- Buy the footprint for this thing so you protect the floor of the tent (I had to buy mine on Amazon since BC doesnt stock it! C'mon BC!)
- Buy a Drysack for it, last thing you want is a wet tent
- DO NOT fold this or any other tent - the last thing you want are folded seams that could become tears down the road; just stuff this puppy in the sack
**NOT recommended for people 6'+ - I am 5'9" and this thing is perfect, my 6'2" brother was cramped**
I would buy this tent again, without a doubt.

Great solo tent for 3 season camping. The first time I used it was in December, it was in the low 40s with rain and 20 mph wind and I stayed dry and warm the whole night. It doesn't break the bank and its high quality, it breathes well in the summer and with the rain fly on it does a pretty good job of breaking unwanted wind even in the winter. It has a vent on the top that you can open and close from inside, that keeps the air moving which I like. Its light and when the forecast is clear you can shed a good amount of weight by leaving the rain fly at home. There's plenty of room inside for me, I'm 5'6", and I like that I can sit up without my head touching the top. It also takes me about 3-4 minutes to get the tent and rain fly up and its very simple. Its a great tent, I love it.

I have had it for 4 years and have had no issues. I have used it for winter camping and it still holds up with an inch of snow covering. If I could do it over I would consider buying the 2 person version as its only 1 pound heavier for a lot of space but I have no regrets getting the Solo.Very reasonable price to boot.
Cons: Stakes it comes with aren't great.

This is the best lightweight solo tent. It has ample room to sit up with headroom to spare. It is easy to set up and packs small. I've used it two years through snow, rain and sun with no complaints. It doesn't sweat a lot and dries quickly after a rain. I've used it on several multi-day trips and will buy another one when this one wears out.

This tent is very easy to set up. It is light weight and packs down quite nicely. On dry nights you can omit the rain fly and look up at the stars. Very breathable, no condensation issues to speak of. Plenty of room to move around inside as well. The poles are a tiny bit awkward, but not bad at all.

The best tent I've ever had in 40 years of backpacking. It's light, durable, doesn't sweat, fits inside my pack, sets up fast and has adequate interior space. I don't try to put my pack inside the tentthough. The price is unbeatable, too.

Very dry even in a downpour. Stable in high winds when staked down as planned. Easy and fast to set up - unlike others I have used.
Excellent value. Great tent.
