Marmot Eos 1 Person Dome Tent Review

The Eos 1 has one door and a maximum center height of 3' 0, which is a little bit smaller than the average height of the 68 other 1 person tents we have studied. With 21 square feet of space inside, it is significantly smaller than some other 1-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents like this one can make a good choice for people that appreciate spending lots of hours outside exploring the great outdoors.

A few of the great points about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances lightweight, making them easy to carry around. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very easy to set up. In calm weather, you can do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are easily the most common of all the other types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing water to roll off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the top of the tent. The simplest dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, sloped walls two or more poles which cross in the center of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is generally considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Eos can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Marmot has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your gear.
4. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 30D 100% Nylon F/R, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to rips and punctures. Also, the material has a 2000 mm waterproofing rating, which is pretty good for most circumstances.
5. Breathable. The Eos's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the summer.
6. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the entire body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1200mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy rain.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 21 square feet, the Eos 1 is smaller than quite a lot of the 68 other 1 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 8% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some people.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 30D 100% Nylon F/R but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures website the last time we checked.
5. Unfavorable Ratings. Unfortunatly the Eos 1 has some of the worst ratings of all tents on optimumtents.com
6. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of things to be positive about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
