From Backcountry.com:
"Set up your tent quickly and easily when you camp in the Eureka Spitfire 2, the lightweight 3-season 2-person tent with mesh walls for optimal ventilation. When the wind is blowing and your fingers have an expiration date, you need a simple setup like this two-pole hoop tent with grommet corner attachments and simple clips. Nearly four feet of head room lets you get in and out of this two-door tent conveniently. Eureka's Stormshield fly keeps the elements out, while a bathtub floor with taped seams wrap up against the sides to protect you against rain. The Spitfire 2 includes poke-out vents in the fly which keep condensation minimal."

"I recently used my brand new Eureka Spitfire 2 for an outing and it performed below par.

The biggest problem was the wind. I was camping in very sandy areas and the wind was between twenty and thirty mph each night. Since this tent is not freestanding, the stakes bear the majority of the force."
