Comments about Marmot EOS 1P Tent:
I purchased the EOS 1P after returning a MSR Hubba. The Hubba was nice, but was VERY narrow inside. Since I didn't like the Hubba's narrowness (it's head room is great though), I had to pick another one person tent. My choices were the Big Agnes Seedhouse SL1, the Eureka Spitfire (I love Eurekas for some strange reason), and the Marmot EOS 1P. I considered tarps, and tarptents, but decided they were just too fussy to deal with in the end. Of course there are other 1 person tents on the market, but I was wanting one of these three. The Big Agnes looked nice. It was the lightest of the bunch. The problems I had with it were the fragile material it was made with, according to other user reviews elsewhere on the internet, and the "front" entry, which I disliked. The Eureka doesn't seem to have a vestibule from what I can tell from photos, so it was out. Now to the Marmot. I liked the sturder material than the Big Agnes, I liked the vestibule and the side entry. I didn't realize until I set it up, that I love the way it sets up; much better in my opinion than the MSR Hubba. The way the fly clips on and adjusts is simply great. It only requires 6 stakes (8 if you guy it out), I think the Big Agnes requires 11 or so. The tent itself is freestanding, but the fly does require a stake on either side. The only negative I've found is the headroom. You can't sit up without rubbing your head on the sides of the tent. This is the only area that the MSR beats it in my opinion. The Big Agnes looks to have a similar head rubbing issue. All in all I like this tent much better than the competition. You don't hear or read about this tent as much as the MSR Hubba or the Big Agnes SL1, but in my opinion it is a superior tent to either.

Comments about Marmot EOS 1P Tent:
I got this tent to replace my Big Agnes Seedhouse tent. The Big Agnes had poles made of a slightly different alloy and the design of the poles had the usual pole inserts that held the sections together ... I don't know which of those factors led to the Big Agnes poles breaking but they did. The Marmot tent is definitely a better design. The tent poles don't have the usual inserts and the connections feel more sturdy. The side entry is also better for storing gear and getting in and out of the tent. The vestibule also had more space due to the side entry. All in all ... an excellent lightweight tent. And it packs down small as well which is equally important to me because I use the tent for kayak/camping.

Comments about Marmot EOS 1P Tent:
I use this tent primarily in the mountains, usually between 500 to 1500 meters high, during the summer, and late fall. Under calm conditions, this tent goes up fast, without a hitch. During a sudden summer storm however, i was a bit stressed trying to figure out which way this wind flapping fly should go on (no colour coded clips). Once inside, it was very cozy. Im 5ft.11, and my sleeping bag just touches the end of the tent.No big deal though. Stayed dry all night with only minor condensation. Tent quality, i feel is worth the price. High gusts of wind are no problem, if set up vertically with the wind. The vestibule tends to flap like mad though. All in all, i like this tent alot. The pole hub design is well thought out, and side entry is a big pluss.

Comments about Marmot EOS 1P Tent:
I'm 6'1" tall and due to the tapered end design of this tent, I did not fit very well. My head and feet touched at each end. It was hard to sit up to pull pants and boots on. Would be a fine tent for anyone under 5'11 or so. The zippers required a pretty hard pull and I was glad they did not rip out as I tried to close them.

Comments about Marmot EOS 1P Tent:
OK. This is my second post on this tent. But I had to give it another high mark. I just returned from a rafting trip in the Grand Canyon. The camping was on soft sand and we were often subject to intense wind storms. The rest of the people used the outfitter's tents and they had a terrible time keeping the tents anchored in the wind. Not the EOS. It stood up to the highest wind storm and never budged an inch. It also anchored quite well in the sand even without sand stakes.

Comments about Marmot EOS 1P Tent:
Though I have a roof over my head to go to I spend most of my life outdoors - often in 'primitive' areas in East Bay Regional Parks, California State Parks and at Point Reyes National Seashore away but not far from urban areas. Also useful for long solo self contained bicycle touring and for surreptitious camping - I throw green tarp over fly. 1P tent breaths much better[much less condensation] then a bivy sack at only slightly more weight. I will be taking this tent on my several a year solo bicycle tours of the Pacific coast and my upcoming solo bicycle journey between Amsterdam and Greece.

Comments about Marmot EOS 1P Tent:
This tent is lightweight and funtional.
Great floorspace for a 1-person tent.
Love the side entrance with great access to the vestibule. Vestibule is big and usable, thanks to the side entrance. Easy to set up and very sturdy.
A perfect 1-person backpacking tent.
I returned my seedhouse SL1 because the front entrance / vestibule combo was useless.

Comments about Marmot EOS 1P Tent:
What a great idea!!!! Unfortunately, only the bottom half of the tent is perfect. If you have broad shoulders or are taller than 5'-10", this tent will be irritating if you have to spend any amount of time in it. After three days I was totally po'd. Why couldn't those Marmot folks have put a simple cross-bar at the peak to provide just a little bit of shoulder room? It's weird having the bottom half of your body perfectly comfortable, but the top half rubbing against the fabric - I mean not just touching, but pushing it our several inches on each side!!! It's not just a little tight - it's irritating, and I'm not a huge person, but I am muscular, broad shoulders. It felt like pantyhose for my head!!!!!
You would think someone would have a bit more forethought about that issue....but then again, they probably ran out of time before the final design deadline had to be met.
Add to that a fly that flaps in the wind and it gets a huge, HUGE NO on this one.

Comments about Marmot EOS 1P Tent:
It seems every year there is a "new and better" tent, but it may take awhile to top this one. No complaints after 6 days on the West Coast Trial on Vancouver Island and 5 days on the Rockwall In Kootenay Park in BC. Not for taller folks and doesn't have much headroom but you can't have it all. Love the way the fly snaps on. The set-up takes a bit of adjustment to make sure the fly is tight so it won't touch the mesh in heavy rain. Like most of us I don't get to test all the comparable gear, but I would recommend this one.
