User Review: Eureka! Solitaire

Eureka! Solitaire
Above: The current Solitaire, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Design: three season tube, not free standing
Sleeps: 1
Ease of Setup: Fairly easy. The terp is attached which cuts down on weight
Weight: 3lb something
Price Paid: Like $80 something

I have used this tent about four times, in summer, winter, and fall. In summer, the ventilation is great (provided by a full screen top). The terp is held away from the tent by the two tent poles. In winter it is harder to build up a dead air space, but a warm bag prevents the need. It is not seam-sealed, which is kind of annoying, but you can do it yourself without too much hassle. Overall, I would give this tent a high rating, because of its low weight, affordable cost, and small pack size. I am prevented from giving it full marks by the rather cheap stakes that come w/it, and the lack of factory seam sealant.
