 | Eureka Solo Spitfire Tent
Buy new: $79.75 This is my tent. I camped in rainy Oregan with a very dry cyclist who had this tent. I then made a promise to myself to buy one of these when I got home. It is around 3lbs. You can use it as either an open mesh tent or use the cover for privacy/dry. Easy to set up. Compact im temt bag. Very good in winds. Plenty of space and the most headroom
