Eureka spitfire 1 solo tent: some notable limitations - Eureka Spitfire 1 Tent - 1 Person 110310

Good price for EZ to erect ultra lightweight 1-person tent with enough head clearance to set up in as long as you know the limitations. Very low weight is made possible by its good design, but also very light fabric and skinny side dimensions. Tent floor is same gauge fabric as rest of tent and fly; too light to avoid poking holes during most use so using some sort of supplemental footprint is almost a must if the tent is going to last more than a season. Tent body is really narrow for anything much more than the sleeping bag/pad ... there is no practical vestibule and only limited extra head/foot space due to severe end tapers. This is a moderately restricted side entry tent so carefully consider where the zipper is on your sleeping bag: entry is on left side only (looking from head of tent to foot) so it's a bit tough to get in/out of a right zipper bag. Height to set in is good for 5' 8" man but head end taper is such as to place tent fabric right in your face when lying down ... might bother some people. Stuff sack provided is way too light weight to allow safely carrying this tent on the bottom of your pack. Would be best if you could do a "fit test" in this tent before purchase to see if low cost/low weight offset the limitations.
