This should be a great tent ... BUT ... the poles suck. Both poles broke the 1st time I used the tent. The "head" pole is about 2" too long right from the factory. I had to cut the 2" off the pole in order for it to be of any use at all. Both poles are fiberglass shock cord, so very light. However, they are too narrow in diameter, so they break very easily. I had to duct-tape the poles to make it thru the weekend. The tent itself, when erected is the perfect solo tent in my opinion. Much more comfortable and spacious than a bivy sick, and nearly as light. Redesign of the poles and this tent would be awesome for the $ ... the 2 star rating is for poor pole quality ... the concept, tent size and weight of the tent is great ... perhaps 4-5 stars. Hopefully, Eureka can address this issue and they would have a winner.
