Eureka Solitaire Tent 1-Person 3-Season
Good Tent, Could Be Better

This is my first Solo Tent. I bought this tent because of the weight, the color, the manufacturer, and of course the price. I like the tent, but I'm disappointed that it's not a freestanding tent, which means instead of the tent being held up by poles, it's held up by many steaks in the ground, which take longer to set up than a freestanding tent. And if you are going to set it up in the rain, by the time your done your tent will be full of water. Also Eureka put rubber protective tips on one end of the hooped poles to protect the tent when you slide the poles through the sleeves. They should have used plastic tips because the rubber tips grab onto the inside of the sleeves and make it very difficult and annoying to set up and take down the tent.
