Eureka Spitfire 1 Person Bivy Tent Review

The Spitfire 1 has one door and a peak center height of 3' 4, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 71 other 1 person tents we have studied. With 18 square feet of room inside, it is significantly smaller than some other 1-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one often make a fantastic choice for people that like spending lots of time outside the tent exploring.

Some of the great things about bivy tents are, that they are under normal circumstances light, making them simple to carry. In nearly all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the bivy type. They are usually, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In calm weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.

Bivy tents are the most commonly seen of all the different types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the water to pool on the top of the tent. The most basic bivy tent will have a square footprint, sloped sides two or more poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is generally considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.
