Light weight tent link?

[NATURAL ANKLING]

Hi,
Look at the Eureka Spitfire. I am about six foot.
I cannot coment on the SUL version, but the standard one man spitfire has-
Full sitting height
Full length for six footers
Double skined (inner mostly mesh)
Can fit all gear Cycle Camping with 15 kgs of lugage
Getting in out is easy with large side door.
Stable in winds
1.5 kgs.

Biggest problem with 1 kg tents is lack of room
Lack of guys etc.
You will be hard pressed to beat this.
Only downside is small porch, but how many tents this light tick all the boxes?

Hi,
Yes it does, looks good.
As has been said in posts, light weight is normally sacrificed for quality, I cant comment on your tent, it might be excellent.
At the time I bought my eureka spitfire ebay new £75, that was a bargain.
Now they are pricey/ (American design and Chinese manufactured?) dimensions in inches is always a giveaway (usa)
There are literally thousands of solo tent designs out there.
You end up buying several to get a good one?

I would not want to have a single skin tent, because of all the condensation. They are not any lighter either. Wildcountry have just announced two Zephyros Lite tents that should weigh only little more than the Terra Nova Lasers, but be a lot cheaper. These could well become the ultimate budget suggestion.

Wow, never realised Terra Nova were located 5 minutes from me, will definitely be considering one of the new Zephyros Lite tents.
