Here's what other sites are saying:

From Ramsey Outdoor:
"Loaded with mesh for great ventilation, 3' 4" center height for ample headroom and large side entry. Set up is fast and easy with post and grommet c..."

From Backcountry.com:
"Looking forward to a weekend with a little you" time Eureka's Spitfire 3-season 1-person tent is an easy choice for fast-and-light solo travel. It has a little more room than most solo tents so you don't feel like you're stuffed in a coffin when you're getting some sleep or staying out of the rain. Set the Spitfire up quickly and easily with post and grommet corner attachments and clips to attach the tent body to the frame. You only need two stakes to secure this Eureka tent's body to the ground. A removable fly detaches to reveal sizable mesh areas in the tent body for air flow on warmer days. An inside storage pocket holds essentials like your headlamp and water bottle.""

"Great and stable well vented little tent. With added guylines it takes pretty much weather, though not for winter. Would have been fine with access to the "rear vestibule" from the innertent. At 6'3" I'm probably taller then this tent allows. Wouldn't even give the stakes to the children! If this tent was just GREEN it could have been my favorite summer shelter."

"Great little tent, especially for the $$$. Great ventilation (perhaps even a bit much at times). It's small, but no smaller than it's competitors. Nice head height allows changing inside. Should come with lighter stakes, but that is a small complaint and easy fix."

"This is my 3rd Eureka tent, smallest of them all, 3. 25 lbs. Perfect for solo. Many nights camped in Allegany Natl Forest, Pa.

Very water tight, easy to set up, roomy for a solo. ample head room to sit up and read. Ventilations is superb. Performed equally well in hot and cool seasons."

"I bought the Eureka Spitfire and have been very happy with it so far. Like all of the one person tents there is not a lot of extra space and I would not recommend it for someone much over 6 ft. I'm 6'1" and think that is about the max for its size."

"I bought this tent to use while bicycle touring so size and weight were my main concerns. I'm pretty satisfied with the tent as it came as advertised. It is however quite tiny and at 6'1" I'm at the absolute maximum height I feel would be comfortable in this tent."

"Awesome tent. I have used it in the rain, snow, ice, you name it and this tent holds up. Very light and super ventilated. I was able to quickly set it up even in 6 inches of snow. Not too much space inside, just enough for me and I am 5'11", but if you are going light it is a good pick."

"This is a great solo tent with lots of room. Very light! Quick and easy to set up and break down. What’s nice about this tent is that I can set up and get dressed; eat, etc. inside the tent. The tent has a very large opening to enter and exit."
