Eureka Spitfire Tent: 1-Person 3-Season
Best tent for the money...bar none.

Bought this tent on a recommendation from a fellow backpacker. What a deal! Best tent ever for the money. More comfortable and more features than pricier tents. The high profile is great for taller folks (it's nice and long too.) The side entry is easy and convenient. Lots of storage inside and out (decent size vestibules.) Excellent ventilation. Little things like two convenient inside pockets and a loop for hanging a light show the Eureka crew has spent some time in tents. This was my first solo tent. I bought a Big Agnes SL1 as a upgrade/replacement. Big mistake! The spitfire is a little heavier but a much more comfortable and convenient tent.
