Eureka Solo Solitaire Tent
Customer Review: I love this tent
This tent is great. Its small enough to fit in my pack and really easy to set up. Its not free standing but as long as you can use stakes setup is easy. The mesh ceiling is awesome, its great to sleep under at night if there is no rain. You can see everything around you and not be eaten by bugs. I'm 6' and fit in great. I wouldn't want to be much taller though and be in the tent. I could fit myself, my back, boots and another book bag in the tent while I slept. The top access is also amazing. I've had other tents where you have to get in from the front and with a tent this size its annoying. Being able to just step into this tent is really nice.
Customer Review: Decent, affordable solo option
I bought this tent for backpacking in and around the southern Appalachian mountains, so I haven't yet encountered this freestanding problem the other reviewers have had b/c I always have soft ground to stake the tent down into. The Solitaire is also very easy to pack and carry. I'm 6'2" and fit in there fine, but it is true that I'm about ALL that fits in there. For short trips (a week at most), I just take my 30L pack, and this tent fits in there fine w/ my compressed down sleeping bag, sleeping mat, and other gear.
