From Campmor:
"The Marmot Eos 1 is a very lightweight 1 person tent. Perfect for a potential thru-hike or a quick overnight or weeklong trip. It has a hubbed 1 piece aluminum DAC frame that sets up in minutes and is strong and stable. The ultralight SilNylon fly gives full coverage and provides a generous vestibule for gear storage. Inside the tent, the nearly vertical no-see-um mesh sidewalls provide ample space for the solo hiker. The all mesh sides also provide great ventilation and are great for viewing the wonders of the night sky. All these great features for under 3.5 lbs. Sleeps 1 Main fly and floor seams are factory taped for extreme weather protection Bathtub floor - all floor seams are off the ground for superior water protection 1 door & 1 vestibule (6.5 sq.ft) for easy access and gear storage Full coverage lightweight Ripstop sil/nylon fly gives complete weather protection DAC FeatherLite shockcorded aluminum poles offer weight savings and a greater strength to weight ratio than other poles FREE standing design is stable and very easy to set up Adjustable corner Stake Tape loops for easy tensioning of the tent body.

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."

"I bought a previous version of this tent. The new one is for people shorter than 6ft.

If you ever plan to deal with the customer service, do not buy Marmot Tents. I sent them mine about 6 months ago (my tent has a lifetime warranty). After 5 years and about 5 2-3 day hikes per year the seam tapes started to go off."

"I am a devoted devoted bivy user. Simple and lightweight. This year I went to Philmont with my son's Scout Troop. They require you to sleep in a tent. Okay fine. I did some research and decided on the Marmot EOS 1P. I am a convert!

Extremely easy to put and take down, lightweight at around 2."

"I purchased this tent from REI with the foot print $224 with 20% off. I have used it for everything from bicycle touring to ultra-light back packing and mountaineering.

It is easy to set up and take down. It offers the use of just a mosquito shelter in hot regions."

"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."
