Review: The Golite Eden One Person is a top-end lightweight tent that oozes quality in all respects. The materials used for the inner, flysheet and groundsheet are all best-in-class, with excellent finishing on seams and webbing. Little touches like colour-coded poles and easy-to-push-in pegs speed up the time taken for assembly. However, the best feature of this tent is the roominess and accessibility. Whilst only a few cms wider, longer and higher than other one-man tents, the close alignment of the flysheet and the inner means that the Eden feels bigger and less claustrophobic than competitors, and users get to experience pretty much all of the 114cm of height. As you'd expect for this price range, the tent is stable (especially with guys) even in pretty horrendous weather, and can serve as more than just a place to sleep, which is more than can be said for most one-man tents. The biggest downside is the weight, which at 1.5kg is not going to break any backs, but is a lot heavier than the other top end options. In short, an excellent roomy versatile one-man tent, but if lightweight is your thing, then you could save the best part of a kilogram with a less advanced tent. Best bits: Roomiest one-man tent on the market, easy to assemble, quality product
Worst bits: Heavier than the best one-mans, pricey
Alternatives?: If you don't need the room, you could save a bit of money with a lighter tent such as the Force 10 Helium 100.
