Eos 1P

I have a only one concern with this tent, the rainfly. It seems to be a bit to short on the ends (foot & head). If I take the time to make sure each end is even only a bit of the mesh shows. My concern is that in a heavy rainstorm water is sure to get in. Also, who wants to take that extra time ensureing both ends are even.

My suggestion is to lengthen the ends (maybe an inch each) or add tie out points at those ends. Maybe even to add both of those features.

If any users have the same problem and has a solution for me please contact me. I might try to add tie out points myself unless the company is willing to address this so as not to void the warranty.

I bought this tent in 2005 for an Appalachian Trail Thru-hike. Though I only made it half way on the trail, I used this tent day in and day out for 3 months (March to May) with no issues whatsoever. It is an amazing little tent. After 5 years, I still have it, don't use it quite as much but it still has plenty of life left. It is still waterproof too!
I recently purchased a Limelight 3 and I hope that I will be as completely satisfied with that one as I am with my EOS1.

i've bought an eos tent 3months ago. i have no idea how many stakes do i have since i bought it. does it include 7 stakes or 8? i'll wait for ur feedback, thanks!

this is a good tent. i have used it over 4 years and its still doing fine.

the only thing which was strange was after packing the tent over for long time, the inside of the rain fly became sticky, the red fabric's inside was more sticky than the orange fabrics,

is there a way to get rid of this?

I just spent a long weekend up in the Great Basin during the monsoon season, and I took my trusty Eos, and there were no issues of leaking or windflap whatsover. And thanks to the sureproof one-pole setup, I was always ready long before the afternoon showers were upon me. Mesh gear storage puts my headlamp and glasses just overhead without adding weight.

Very nice lightweight tent. Its been absolutely solid for the last two years. It took on an intense rain/wind storm up in the Uintas and held up well. Properly staking and guiding the tent out was easy and fast. There was a decent amount of condensation in the mornings. Adding a roof lid vent like some of their larger tents would solve that problem I think. It wouldn't add any noticeable weight. The vestibule provides a large area for gear, even though I can fit my 60L pack inside with me and use it as a pillow. I'm 5'9 175 pounds and the inside is just right. It is minimal, so its not fun being locked in there waiting out a storm, but you'll stay dry and warm. My favorite part has to be how light the tent is.

I just bought this tent on line and it's on the way coming in the post overseas, so my question is the floor dimension is 90 inches how come many reviews say that it will not fit taller people, I'm 6'5 tall and quite worried this tent will not fit me, returning it will not be an option. Can anyone comment on this please? I will use this tent for 3 weeks cycling from Kenya to Tanzania in March with lots of expected rain and insects to be protected from.

Just bought it and set it up. Very good set up except the instructions about pole tips being color matched to color coded tape is not the case. And I am not sure how the "two large loops" hook up to the vestibule staking tape but will probably not use them. Now only if the color was green or blue.

I bought this tent in Alaska for a two week solo backpack in Denali when it became clear that my bivy sack was not enough to keep out the nonstop downpour. It is incredible. It kept me comfortable and dry, even in heavy rain and high winds. It shook completely dry with the flick of a wrist after a night of heavy rain. And setup is quick.

I'm on the small side, a 5'7" woman, and there was extra space inside. I could sit up easily. And there is room for all my gear in the vestibule.

I purchased this tent for a 2 week bike tour (pedal type). The primary reason I selected this tent is because it was freestanding and light. During those 2 weeks there was hot weather, cool weather, heavy rain, and wind. The tent performed perfectly in all conditions. I was always comfortable, me and my gear stayed dry, even strong wind did not concern me. The others is my group had similar tents, yet all of them had trouble at some point.

Prior to using the tent, I was a little concerned of the size. Some of the reviews that I read said that it was too small, especially in the shoulders. I am not large, but fairly tall (6'0" 160 lbs). I did not have any issues. I was able to lie down and sit up without rubbing the sides. There was even enough room at the end of the tent to store some of my gear that I wanted handy in the middle of the night. It was a little tricky crawling in, while taking my shoes off outside, but hey, it's a one man tent!

Overall the tent met all my requirements for weight and packed size and performed perfectly through a variety of weather. I would highly recommend this tent.
