Review: Light, small, EZ, and cheap - Very nice light weight tent for backpacking. I set it up and was very happy with the design and quality. I watched a few youtube reviews of this tent and none of them really go into detail on construction of it. The tent is basically 2 poles bent and two steaks at each end that stretch out the tent and balance the poles from falling over. I was a little concerned about the design (compared to other tents) but after setting the tent up the first time it was very stable and not difficult to construct. I've had an old 3-4 person Eureka! tent for 15+ years that was passed down to me and they are good tents. I needed a lightweight one for a multi day biking trip. I looked at the Solitaire and the Spitfire, while both look like good tents I choose this one based on price. For under $100 you really cant find a better light weight tent then this one. Most others are $200-300 and basically the same thing because they cant add features due to weight. I have yet to use it in a rain storm but I think it would hold up fine. 5 stars in my opinion and highly recommend it. Click "YES" this review was helpful, thanks. ***Update*** After 2 nights of real world use I have to agree this is the best light wight tent for the money, period. If you are hiking or biking and need a light weight tent this is the one you want to get. Review: What a Great Product! - I bought this tent in preparation for a solo 2 wk road-trip down the Oregon Coast - the main purpose for buying being that I didn't foresee myself spending $100 a night just on accommodations. So, it arrived in the mail and I immediately set it up in my living room. Took all of 5 mins to look at the directions and set it up. I packed the super light tent in my suitcase, which took up very little space/weight, and flew to Oregon. Now, for some reason, perhaps because it was my first time camping alone, and I was a tad nervous at first, I thought I should sleep with my head at the far end... Do NOT do this! hahah I woke up so claustrophobic and unable to get out because I couldn't sit up!! So, sleep with your head by the entrance (sorry for those of you who thought that would be obvious), and you will be able to sit up (crouched), or leaning on your elbows. It's important to note that I'm 5'8, and I had more than enough room. Also, when packing up, because of it's size it's easy to clean off to be packed up quickly. Lastly, some sleeping bags/tents come with bags that once you take the tent out, you can't fit it back in - this tent/poles roll up and fit with ease back into the carrying bag. Personally, I think the value of this purchase was spot on for me. For the price, it is of great quality, durability, and is easy to travel with. Enjoy! UPDATE DEC 2014: The foot-end pole snapped - booo :( I'm going to look into getting it replaced because I'm still very pleased with the tent. I took it camping a minimum of 3-5 nights per month May-Oct this year, and it only snapped in October after 2 years use.. LOTS of use. ## Features - Fiberglass - Imported - Travel light with the bivy-style three-season, one-person Eureka!

I want to use it in my truck bed as opposed to on the ground.** A: This is a good tent, but if you are not backpacking and you want a tent that you sent up in the bed of your truck, I would recommend this one. Kamp-Rite Oversize Tent Cot. I have one and love it.http://www.amazon.com/Kamp-Rite-DTC443-Oversize-Tent-Cot/dp/B000I641UQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t **Q: Does this tent require a footpad?** A: It has a base, but it's thin nylon like the sides. I acquired a 5'X7' (foot) nylon tarp from Walmart for...I think about $6 bucks. The tarps were only available in the summer months last year, but they still might have them. They were last located in the camping area. I looked elsewhare for them and they wanted and arm and a leg for them. I used the tarp last summer in Montana and it was great, lightweight and only about 1.5" thick by about 5"X6" when folded up...I liked them so much, I bought another. At 6'-4" IU found the tent a bit short, not length-wise really, but height. I can't sit up in it without hunching over (to put on a shirt, pull up pants etc). But for motorcycle camping, it's awesome. It's small and fits in my topcase with tons of room to spare. I hope this helps. **Q: What are the dimensions when packed?** A: With poles rolled in, 17" long by 5" across roll. W/out poles, them being packed seperately... 14" by about 3.5". Or you can fold it, or stuff it, to fill air gaps in your bag. **Q: How many stakes does this tent require?** A: Actually only 4 stakes are needed to hold the (bent poles) tent upright, but that would be without any wind conditions. I believe it has 10 total stakes that can be used; 4 on each side and 2 for pulling the end cords to ensure the curved poles are as tight as you want. You can actually get the poles pulled pretty tight with just 1 stake in each corner of the tent, but you should only do that in mild weather. And like Joe McD says, you then have a rain fly to use and stake down. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light, small, EZ, and cheap *by K***. on March 13, 2013* Very nice light weight tent for backpacking.

LOTS of use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great lightweight solo starter tent! *by S***R on May 24, 2012* UPDATED: I thru-hiked the 2,655 mile Pacific Crest Trail with this tent from Mexico to Canada in 2012 & it lasted the whole trek. I am still using it right now even after! Along the way I had experienced a lot of different types of weather scenarios. It made it through the scolding deserts shielding me from the sun, through the Sierras shielding me very well from the mass hordes of mosquitos & rain, and through the cascades keeping me warmer than I would have been in a tarp when it was cold. It's a nice beginner lightweight option, though not really ultra-light, but proved to be worth the low price paid. On my postal scale it weighed in at exactly 3lbs with stakes, & poles in the stuff sack it came with. Pretty good especially if the rest of your gear is light too. It's kind of strange, because at first I hated this product. Why? It would become so wet from condensation each morning, I'd awake to a pool around me...but it began to grow on me after seeing so many -more severe- problems from other PCT hikers who did not have this tent. The condensation issue seems to only be a -major- problem when it's sealed up with the rainflap on. Otherwise, only randomly would it be a problem, mostly in more humid weather. Depending on how achy/lazy I am feeling, this tent takes me an average of about 2 minutes or less to set up even in the dark, it's just so easy to do; stake it down, 1st pole in, 2nd pole in, your done. The poles are pretty strong and there are only 2 of them (see bottom about 1 issue I had though), and I've never once needed more than 4 stakes to hold everything down even with brutal wind, & pouring rain. I have not had one leak yet, not even a drop get through this tent....through the worst of STORMS! I was shocked it was so rain protective, and very thankful about it. One morning I woke up and everyone was soaking wet from a bad T-Storm, another hikers $500 tent collapsed, and everyone who brought a tarp for weight was regretting it in that moment. My tent was just how it looked the previous night, like nothing had ever happened. (Again, I only had 4 stakes in too). Raincover stayed put even with insanely crazy wind blowing in all directions. + if you don't care about privacy when you sleep and you keep the rainflap unzipped it is as if you are sleeping under the stars. Bugs never got inside unless I accidently left it unzipped. I had even slept on an anthill once, and they were not getting in. So far, other than condensation I have not been able to think of another con, well, except that you cannot sit up inside this thing easy. It's more like a bivy than a tent. I am a 5'2 female(pretty short), fit and I am definitely a hunchback inside when I need to change clothes or do anything that involves sitting up. The only other issue is when you do need to sit up, and if you have messy/thick hair like I do, your hair will most likely get ripped out from the double zipper above you which can get extremely irritating! This happens to me nearly every single night in the tent and it's pretty unavoidable. Also, I don't find the colors of yellowish-orange & black on the tent to be very appealing in the middle of nature, but have not seen this tent made in other colors. Other than these small issues, so far, it's a great tent. ______________________________________________ UPDATE 2 (1 issue I had) : One night while resting at Kennedy Meadows the back tent pole snapped while setting up and could not be fixed because my hiking partner messed it all up "trying to fix it", but Eureka replaced it for free over the phone & I never had a repeat issue. They were very nice about it and actually sent me a spare for the front just in case as well, no charge. I think the woman on the phone said they usually charge a small fee to replace them though. Also I should add that I was not the one setting up my tent the night the pole snapped! So I learned my lesson about letting others set up my tent! I think the hiker setting it up for me out of kindness was trying to force it in when I wasn't looking out of laziness, or just didn't know any better since he was a tarp guy and doesn't use tent poles ever, but that's a whole other book chapter....I never had a problem with the tent poles otherwise. All in all everything worked out great with this tent and I will be using it on future adventures. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/786018-eureka-solitaire-one-person-three-season-backpacking-bivy-style-tent](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/786018-eureka-solitaire-one-person-three-season-backpacking-bivy-style-tent) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-06-11*
