Eureka backcountry 1 person tent

Eureka Backcountry 1 person tent has been great so far. I bought this tent Aug 2007 and used it that month for a short backpack trip.

I did own a Sierra design but it had seen better days.I needed a tent a bit lighter and cheaper for the time being and found the Backcountry the best option to try. Im always unsure when i buy tents or camping gear of the cheaper option. I learnt from experience not to buy the cheap tents, but I am very happy with this tent.

Back to the review : I have used this tent for backpacking and a couple of standard camping trips with the lads. It was light enough for backpacking, it weights about 4lbs.

It held out on a real bad night April 2009, its free standing but i just put a couple of guy ropes up and it was fine.

I have nothing but good news for those searching for a tent for backpacking that has plenty of room even for the 6 footers. Its pretty cool.

A little condensation but ventilation is very good.

I cant wait to get out in March this year on a short hiking trip. Looking forward to be able to get some air into my Eureka Backcountry 1 Man tent and remove the winter cobwebs.
