Great tent for the money
Eureka Spitfire 1 Pros -- Does not leak. Excellent ventilation. Easy setup. Roomy inner tent. Durable. Performs great in wind. A lot of tent for the money. Cons -- small vestibule. Big enough for wet boots, not much more. No room to cook in vestibule. No room for pack in vestibule. I slept in this tent down to 18F with very minimal frosting inside. I replaced the stakes with titanium stakes and added a homemade footprint. My packed weight is 3lb 14oz.
For the Price... Hard to beat!
I did more than 30 nights last summer in this tent. Without my dog along the floor space is adequate (I'm 5-10, 170lbs). I liked it's 40 inch interior height. It kept me dry in unbelievable gale-force driven rains. After I traded the stakes out the tent (body, fly, stakes) came in shy of 3 lbs. The tent material is durable... meaning, that it isn't made of the paper-thin stuff and can take some abuse. One problem I had, which I consider minor, is that when entering/exiting the tent, you needed to be quick to avoid getting the interior wet; There is no over-hang of the fly on this design. Then only reason I moved to a different tent is because I needed just a little more space with my dog along.... 18 sq ft of floor just doesn't quit cut it. For the money, this tent is hard to beat!
