1 Reviews of the Eureka Solitaire
By: Ewen c Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2017 Rating: 
I got this cheap, €55.
Plus side. It is relatively light. The price to weight ratio is brilliant. It has aluminium poles rather than fibreglass
Minus side. A lot of mesh which makes it unsuitable for colder months.
It is more a bivvy than a tent. You cannot sit up in it but I managed my rucsac and all my gear inside. There is no front porch, even though it looks like it has one. Cooking in adverse weather is impossible unless you take a small tarp which sort of defeats the purpose as it would make the tent to heavy. Inner and fly are permanently attached but you aren't going to be splitting a tent this small anyway. Condensation was minimal but was there. Again, a problem with all such tents. A vent front and back would help.
This tent has a very American quirk which I doubt I will ever get the chance to use. The fly can be rolled back to reveal the mesh inner. On a warm, dry American night you can lay back stargazing. I live in Ireland. It rains here. I wouldn't risk sleeping out without rain protection. A bonus is, however, that the inner has a roof zip. Very handy for getting gear or a backpacker with a dodgy back in and out of the tent. However, you cannot replace the fly from inside so the front entrance is still required to crawl in and out.And crawl you do.
As a budget lightweight tent, this does the business. I have had it out wild camping and it is unobtrusive and quite Hardy. It is well made and does what it is supposed to do.

Manufacturer's Description
Eureka has been manufacturing quality tents since 1895; becoming known over the years as an innovation leader in the outdoor industry. Superior craftsmanship, attention to detail, and product innovation are just some of the reasons Eureka! has enjoyed a first-class reputation for over 100 years.
The small pack size, light weight, and simple set up make the Solitaire the perfect choice for lightweight conscious backpackers/ cyclists.Being one with nature just entered a new dimension. The Solitaire is a 2-person tunnel tent with the unique option of removing the all-weather outer tent to reveal an inner tent almost entirely made of mesh so that you can fall asleep under the stars, wake up with the morning sun on your face, and spy on the critters you share your camp with. Lightweight and quick to pitch, the Solitaire invites you to take it all in!
