"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"They last absolutely forever (I know 1980s models still in daily use)"

"2nding this, nothing else beats them for the price. ... I got em for $10 during Target sales"
"for under 30 ... Price more than makes up for it tho"
"Moondrop Spacetravel are extremely hard to beat in that category, and price is so low you would be STUPID not to at least try them."

"Coming from the Razer viper ultimate at around 74 grams to the X2 Crazylight at 35 is a surreal experience, the mouse is basically as light as a feather to pick up and move it almost seems like it's not even there. ... As a fingertip grip user the feel of using a mouse this light is bar none, it makes it so much easier to pick up and re adjust and just moving it around with your wrist in fine movements it feels much more accurate and controllable."
"After the third run of another 15 miles a few days ago, I was sold and grinning from ear-to-ear afterwards. It's light, fast and propulsive, responsive, stable, nimble, grippy, comfortable, and protective. It pretty much does it all in a very lightweight package."
"it weighs under 350g"

"I love my hubba hubba. ... I’ve seen to many guys in these courses get a four season tent and then have condensation. You need a three season tent. ... Would recommend the ultralight."
"It is superior with ventilation options, including convertible rainfly for stargazing at night."
"Wonderful ventilation on a dry night with the roof retracted, fine enough in rain."

"tanky ... Only thing you really lose is a touch screen but that's better for it's ruggedness and water resistance."
"Kept me comfortable in heavy rain, snow, and once down to 15 deg F on a North Carolina mountain in April."
"even the wrist heart rate seems bang on which is surprising in the water"

"Tigerwall tents will not work. ... I tried them and at 6'2" they were both too small."
"Even if you only have one I regret going with the two person over the three when I take my girlfriend camping with me"
"I bought a Eureka Solitaire last season and just got a Eureka Midori 1 this Christmas for a bit more headroom."

"The pole design means they are under twist pressure, and after I'd replaced the third set of poles I decided to go inflatable. ... and the poles kept breaking."
"It was a great tent up until the fiberglass pole snapped on a trip last year."
"Personally snapped a three season tent on rainier from the wind a few seasons ago. Granted it was a big Agnes tiger wall."

"The Lanshan design really doesn't allow for airflow. ... Leaving the door flaps open at night and camping far away from water was the only time I didn't have tons of condensation on the walls. ... After three years of sleeping with a towel near my head, I ditched the Lanshan."
"I believe the Lanshan is silnylon, so based on your climate I would go with an xmid. It won't sag in heavy rain and won't absorb water if you have to pack it up slightly wet."
"and you get wet every time you run any body part along the wall."

"You can't sit all the way up in it so getting dressed and undressed was... interesting."
I have backpacked for weeks and weeks on the AT and elsewhere with a Eureka Solitaire. It is the best solo lightweight tent if you can't spend much, IMO. Kept me comfortable in heavy rain, snow, and once down to 15 deg F on a North Carolina mountain in April. Never noticed bad condensation. Wonderful ventilation on a dry night with the roof retracted, fine enough in rain. I can keep my frameless pack and stuff inside, with shoes in the vestibule. Being older and not-rich, I care about weight and $, not headroom.
r/Ultralight • Ultralight CHEAP tent ->I have a eureka 1 man tent. It packs small
r/CampingGear • Backpacker looking for one man tent that packs down to smallest size but not a bivvy ->Just like other people have said I'd go freestanding 2 person. I started with a similar tent. Eureka solitaire. Still have it and occasionally get some use. I'd highly recommend the REI half dome 2+ in that price range. Might be just a hair above but it is super solid and quality
r/CampingGear • Looking into getting my first real tent, would this be suitable? ->It was a great tent up until the fiberglass pole snapped on a trip last year. I camped in it several dozen times before that, and it's been on many trips with me. The tent is still in great shape, so I contacted Eurica and learned that they sell an aluminum set of poles for it. I bought them and they are much sturdier. Not sure what the tent you have came with, but that would be my only recommendation.
r/CampingGear • Looking into getting my first real tent, would this be suitable? ->I bought a Eureka Solitaire last season and just got a Eureka Midori 1 this Christmas for a bit more headroom. I saw this one on sale and would have jumped on it but I really wanted a 1p tent for solo overnights. They are decent tents for sure, especially at the price point. They tend to review well and are well ventilated and have a rain fly that offers a vestibule for your extra gear, which is a must for wet weather IMO. No need to pack your tent with extra stuff just to keep it out of the rain. Eureka is generally well respected as a brand, although more on the budget-conscious side, so appealing to the mass consumer base vs. the more niche and ultralight backpacking market. As others mentioned, Eureka is ceasing operations but unsure how impactful that is. I’m not a die hard camper so I don’t know if I would be concerned about replacement parts, etc. years down the line. You may wish to check out Eureka’s Midori and Suma lines too as they offer 2p options, and may even be cheaper. Depending on what you’re looking for.
r/CampingGear • Looking for a tent, this price seems really good but maybe too good to be true. Does anybody here have any experience with this tent/brand? I'm looking to camp in semi-wet/rainy conditions as I live in the Pacific Northwest. any other recommendations besides this product are more than welcome :) ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
