This tent performed O.K. during a two-night trip to a creek-side/creek bed, with temps down to around four belowF.
The problem is with condensation freezing. That's great because at least you can scrape most of it offw/out a towel, but you have to really dig the details, unlike with the big "sheet of rhime" walls of the Apex 2.
The simplest of it was in fall, and just a blanket. In winter your sleeping bag is going to take a lot of room, but aside from spacing considerations, the design is neat and free-feeling.
set-up, set-up. Easy.
If you just want to have a fast moving tent, that's small, go for it.It's a great, " I gotta sprawl all of this stuff out", tent.
But moisture, if it gets in has to be literally wrung out, it doesn't hang out to dry very easy like a tarp or big tent fly.
Good for the money.

Comments about Eureka Eureka Spitfire 1-person Tent:
I recently purchased the spitfire 1 solo tent. It really does give you quite a bang for the buck. I've used it when it rained the entire night and myself and gear stayed completely dry. I was hesitant to purchase a non-freestanding solo tent, but the room the spitfire gives you really swayed me. It's much roomier than many of the other solo tents out there. At 3 lbs. The tent is light and easily packableas well. My only gripe is the VERY small vestibule. Forget about putting anything but boots there. All in all a quality tent at a great price.
