From Backcountry.com:
"The Marmot Eos 1-Person 3-Season tent is a lightweight solo tent that means business. Designed with Marmot's new Bare Bones set up system, the Eos provides more room with less weight and fewer pieces to set up. If you're traveling solo, you won't have anyone to help you hold the tent in while you put pieces together. Marmot eliminates the struggle so you can set up your tent in a flash with the one pole system. A roomy vestibule stores more gear outside the tent while still keeping it protected from weather. The true bathtub floor provides weather protection, and also acts as a splashguard in stormy conditions."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Whether on bike tour, thru-hiking or just out for a weekend adventure, having a place to call home at the end of the day is key to a good night's sleep. If you're going solo, the Marmot Eos 1P is the ideal tent to take along; lightweight, freestanding, with a bare bones setup option the Eos 1P will keep you dry during summer thunder showers and keep the bugs out is the lake district. One large vestibule will protect your stuff and leave you more room inside the tent to stretch out. Easy to setup with a one pole system, the Eos also has a an optional footprint and gear loft, not included."

"I purchased this tent to use while backpacking here in Arizona during the spring and summer. I was drawn to this tent because of the size and for the fact that it only weighs 3lbs 3oz.

Set up of this tent is very easy color coded poles make set up a breeze."

"This tent has served me well. Being small and short, I have found that this is a great little, light-weight tent; one of the easiest ever to assemble. The spoke pole system is fantastic. The fly provides enough space for my pack and boots. The screening allows for great ventilation without moisture accumulation inside the tent."

"Finely constructed tent with enough floorspace for one. Easy to pitch, but not enough guy out points to keep the fly from flapping in the wind. Nice entry with an ample vestibule. My big complaint is with the narrowness of the top of the tent. It may have a tall peak height, but you can't sit up without the mesh squeezing your head."

"After wearing out my trusted, never-once-let-me-down Mountain Hardware Solitude, and many wet, uncomfortable nights spent inside my very packable, lightweight, and intelligently designed but all-too-single-wall Mountain Hardware Waypoint 1, I needed a tent that could handle the climate and conditions of the Northeast."

"I backpacked for the first time last August. Knowing nothing about backpacking tents, I bought the Marmot EOS because I liked the colors of the tent, the freestanding design, and the light weight. It was very easy to set up. Only complaint is that I cannot sit up in the tent without my head rubbing against the tent ceiling."

"I bought this tent because I decided I just can’t deal with a full fledged biv sack. This tent bridges the gap of a lightweight shelter I can sit up, turn and read easily in perfectly for me. Quality of this tent is outstanding and of course it is super lightweight."

"I paid $176 for this tent after a 20% discount from the $220 retail price at REI. The footprint wasn't cheap at $35.

This single-person tent is the best I have ever owned, and that includes multi-person tents as well. I've used it now when it was hot, cold, raining and humid."
