Eureka Spitfire 1 - 03/08/18 04:44 AM
My old REI Sololite finally bit the dust and I bought a Eureka Spitfire 1 tent to replace it, but haven't used it yet. A friend has one, and likes it, which was the basis for my decision, along with the price.
Have any of you used this tent? It seems like a lot of tent for the price ($135) and it's relatively light, at 3.5 lbs. including titanium stakes and a 2mil plastic groundsheet. My main concern is the possibility of rain blowing in through the roof vent, which closes with a short strip of Velcro. I'm wondering if I should lengthen that velcro closure, or if I'm worried over nothing.
I did a search of old posts, but only got a bunch of unrelated stuff.
