Got my new Spitfire and put it on the scale (haven’t used it yet).
Body+fly+poles+sack = 2 lb 14.2 oz
Included stakes are pretty good for OEM in a $65 tent: strong and lengthy. But .6 oz each (10 included).
I think 6 stakes minimum are required (maybe 2 extra to tie out the fly, but I’m not sure those are required). Using 6″ titanium takes at .25oz each, would yield a total weight just under 3 pounds.

Good. Thanks for sharing. Glad the wt. came out under 3lbs. Let us know how you like it & how much condensation you experience after a night or two in it – both dry & wet nights if possible.
My daughter used this tent on a recent “Wilderness Studies” course in the Cascades in WA.
She wasn’t too verbose when I asked her how it performed. “Ok” was about all I got out of her. It didn’t rain.
I had lots of moisture problems with my Six Moon Designs Europa during my simultaneous 7 night trip in the Sierra (rained there almost every day; go figure). So I’m going to try the Eureka on my next solo trip and I’ll report then on how it works.
William,
Many thanks for the update. Can’t wait for your next report. Take care, pj
