The Eureka! Apex Solo is a side entry 1 person backpacking tent with a huge (14.8 Sq. Ft.) front storage vestibule. It features shockcorded fiberglass poles and factory sealed fly and floor seams. The front vestibule is great for storing excess gear and the mesh door enhances ventilation. Easy all clip set up is just as fast to set up or take down. The polyester fly has good UV resistance and is not prone to stretching during extended wet weather. Includes two storage pockets, stakes and all carry bags. A great tent for the weight conscious solo traveler This is not a full-enclosure. It doesn't have a bottom. It is basically just a top cover that you pull over the top of your sleeping bag and body. There is a cord inside so that you can cinch it tight around you.
