Terrible Tent

Bought this tent for the app trail and it just failed. So uncomfortable and small dont expect to have a camping trip if you are over 6ft. For rain did terrible as well rain soaked straight through the tent and got almost everything wet -1000 / 5 star

Fantastic one man tent that I have used for multiple 2 week long backpacking trips. Loved the sewn on rain fly and how easy it was to get in and out, extremely breathable too. Its light weight and easy to set up and take down so it is great for a beginner or experienced hiker. Only problem is had was the fiberglass tent poles got cracked and broken after a lot of use over the course of 4 years, but its all in all fantastic tent.

It Deserves A Lesser Star Than 1.

Poor material and it will cost more money in buying new poles and repairing holes made from the poles breaking. The zippers stick very easily. It is a simple design and has potential of being an excellent tent but falls short on so many levels with the materials and tons of small improvements that can be be made. The custom poles was a nice thought for making it lighter weight but they are no count. I am on my 3rd set. This time I will not be using the Solitaire poles. I will be making my own and giving to my young son because I can't return or sell it. Pre-molded/ bent aluminum poles, better fabric, completely sealed tub, waterproof zippers, reflective color coded parts, the ability to be more flexible in wind, and protect better in rain just to start. The tent updated designs need to be coming from hikers and campers with experience and not an R&D lab.

New And Improved Poles

I had the original Eureka Solitaire with fiberglass poles. The only issue it ever had was a pole breaking early on. I got a replacement and that one never broke, but it always made me nervous and felt flimsy. The tent itself though was great. I took it on all kinds of trails, cold and hot weather, pouring rain, and it stayed dry. It was the most reliable piece of gear I've ever had. When I saw this new version with the aluminum poles I jumped at purchasing it.
