Customer reviews for Eureka Solitaire Tent 1-Person 3-Season :

“The Solitare is exceptionally light and packs very compactly. It is fairly easy to set up even if it is non self supporting. Unfortunately, being non self supporting means you MUST have sufficient soil to plant the stakes which is difficult in extremely rocky sites.

Practically, the Solitare is a pain in the [...]. It is actually more of a bivy sack than a tent. Even when it is correctly set up it is so small that you can expect to be touching tent walls on 3 if not 4 (or 5) sides at once. There is no space inside for any gear stowage and the vestibule is so low overhead that storing your boots out of the rain is about all that is possible. It takes great flexibility to get in and out of the Solitare without stretching the fabric unacceptably. Getting in and out of the tent in more than a light drizzle will ensure that you get soaking wet. Getting dressed within the Solitare is impossible.

I would buy this tent again, but only for situations that require extremely light gear and temperatures above 50F with virtually no rain.”

“This tent is extremely good for its designed purpose; a lightweight backpacking tent. It packs extremely small and light. Have used it in all night rain and wind with no leaks (without sealing the seams or additional waterproofing). I am 6′2″ and can fit in the tent without touching any sides, but space is very tight and there is no room for gear. Plan for your boots and pack to be outside. I have found a large black trash bag is sufficient to keep everything dry outside of the tent and adds no additional weight to my pack, plus I have something to put wet stuff in the next day. It takes some practice to learn to get into and out of the tent, but it is worth it for the light weight and weather protection this tent provides.”

Customer reviews for MSR Hubba Tent: 1-Person 3-Season :

“I spent several weeks researching one-person tents and found the lightest and most affordable to be the MSR Hubba, Sierra Design’s Lightning XT1, Eureka’s Back Country 1 and the ALPS Mountaineering Zephyr 1. Both the Zephyr and Back Country were relatively inexpensive ($100-130), both were large for a solo tent (23-24 sq ft each), and both weighed approx 4 pounds. The Eureka is very popular judging from the ample positive online reviews, but I didn’t like the fly designs of either of these tents. The ALPS has a top triangle that purportedly catches water and the Eureka’s barely extends past the door.

On to the Hubba and Lightning. Both were similar prices ($200-250) and had similar space (Hubba – 17 and Lightning – 19 sq ft). Both weighed in at 3 lbs 6 ozs but the Lightning’s width at 32″ seemed more friendly than MSR’s 26″. The Hubba is the most popular of the two but there were a few reviewers who gave a thumbs down on the narrow width. Unfortunately, I found almost no reviews for the Lightning.

In the end I went with the Hubba because of it’s sleek design. The first time I set it up I was surprised at how tall and wide it was. Inside it felt big, much bigger than I had expected. The length is ample at 86″ (the Lightning is 82″) and the way the top crosspole opens the ceiling as wide as the bottom provides very comfortable head space. The bath tub floor comes up higher mid-tent so if you like to sleep on your side, it will expand with a fully bent knee. This tent, which is made in Taiwan, is well-constructed from seams to poles and feather light stakes. Set up is fast and easy. The short poles at either end are permanently attached to a hub as is the crosspole, but despite the fact that there is essentially only one pole the Hubba is solid even without staking. Plus, there are loops at the corners of the square ceiling where you could attach an attic.

A plus for me is the fly’s yellow color. After the sun goes down, the yellow catches the waning light and puts it on the page of my book or notebook, a BIG help for someone who likes to read or write before turning in. I am so happy with this tent!”
