Eureka Spitfire 1 tent Review

[Kevrod3]

Well boys and girls just got back from a 9 day stay in the MT mountains and I'd have to say that I would give the Eureka Spitfire 1 tent 5 stars. Now we only dealt with a small rain shower nothing major in that department, but we did have some 20+mph winds and it did just fine. The tent only weighs 2 lbs. 12 oz. which was a nice bonus. With shipping I spent $121 STD. I did a bunch of research on tents and this tent got almost all 41/2 to 5 stars on hundreds of reviews. I'm Six foot tall and there was enough room with my NeoAir pad, and Cabelas striker -15 bag. The whole system worked great and was around 9lbs. all together even with the footprint (which is sold separately $44). I had plenty of room to sit up and extra room to put my boots and extra clothes around me to keep the mice out of them. One down side was that there was not a lot of room to store my pack under rain fly. I wasn't worried as my pack has a rain cover. Again I would recommend this tent. Now it only got down to the low 40's but for only being a pound heavier than most Bivy's it was nice to be able to sit up and get away from the bugs.

Nice review.
I was close to going with the Eureka brand but I heard a few concerns. Few questions for you, if you dont mind.
Did you have any condensation? Were the poles for the tent sturdy? I guess I ask the second question because of some complaints about them breaking. High winds and possible heavy snow fall could cause problems. Thanks again for the review!
