Eureka Solitaire 1 Person FG Bivy Tent Review

The Solitaire 1 FG has one door and a peak center height of 2' 4, which is 15 inches less than the average height of the 71 different 1 person tents we have studied. With 22 square feet of room inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 1-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you all through the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents similar to this one generally make a suitable choice for campers who welcome spending lots of hours outside their tent getting some air.

A few of the cool things about bivy tents are, that they are under normal circumstances light, making them easy to carry. In near all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the bivy type. They are usually, freestanding and very simple to set up. In good weather, you can do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Bivy tents are easily the most common of all the other sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to roll off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the rain to pool on the top of the tent. The most straightforward bivy tent should have a rectangular footprint, slanted walls a couple of poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Because of their construction, it is typically thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.
