 "Poles broke the first time we used it" 2009-10-04

The tent poles are cheap and several of them snapped the first time the tent was used. Amazon was great with the refund and even paid for return shipping.

 "Poor design that won't last long" 2009-08-24
By J. Reynolds
We bought 12 of these tents. Right of the bat, 1 of the 12 was missing a grommet to hold the back small pole over the window. Basically killing that tent. After the first year of use 7 of the 12 tents were broken. The number one repair problem with the tents are the poles. The tent uses 4 poles, which in itself makes it harder to setup than most 2 or 3 pole designs. Two poles cross to form the main supports for the tent. 5 tents had these poles break, and we were able to easily repair them. The two small poles over the windows are so thin, I've had 8 of these poles just splinter. The metal ends do not come off, making these impossible to repair. They have to be fully replaced. So far Eureka has failed to respond to 3 email requesting assistance, as their is no place to purchase these pieces to fix the tent. The small poles also lead to holes in the rain fly when being installed, if they slip from the grommet that holds them.



In general when we set the tent up, it was very loose and not very tight, making it look extremely flimsy.



For the money, their are tons of tents that are much more stable and will last longer. I personally chose to not buy something this cheap again and we are buying Alps Mountaineering Tents.

Purchased for light duty. Used few times so far and has worked exactly as advertised. Set-up is simple and can be done by one person.

Fine room for two,but would be crowded for three. Only light rain so far, and was fine. Can be used without stakes if necessary.

Eureka recommends a ground cover under the tent. Easily accomplished and can fit in tent bag. Nice little storage compartments on wall and ceiling. So far well worth the money. Didn't give five stars as it hasn't had a real rain test or the test of time.

 "Not for heavy rain; easy set up" 2009-08-06
By rebecca (Chicago, IL USA)
This tent is comfortable and easy to assemble. It failed the rainstorm test. I know that every tent needs to be waterproofed and seam-sealed by the owner, and I did that. But a poorly-designed rainfly and multiple points of water-entry ruined it for us. The broken poles are very annoying, but Eureka does have a good warranty policy (not so helpful on a 9-day trip, d'oh).



Pros:

-Easy to set up or take down

-Adore the included gear loft and gear pockets

-comfortably fits 2 people and some gear

-the floor is not too thin (I wasn't worried about anything gouging it)

-Fantastic ventilation. The best is that the side vents are lower down, so if you are trying to sleep, you can feel a breeze on *you* not just above you. Even works well with the rain fly up.



Cons:

-The rain fly does NOT cover the front and back. I waterproofed and seam-sealed the heck out of this, but still we had leaks. The worst was where the rain fly didn't cover. If you look straight down at the tent & fly, you'll see that the bottom halves of the front and back of the tent are not covered by the rain fly. This might work out if you never entered or exited in the rain and had absolutely NOTHING touching the front or back (as in, a single tenter with little stuff). It gave us significant drippage.

-BOTH of the rain fly poles, needed to arch up the fly above the door & window to prevent contact between tent/fly, broke in the first 4 days of use. And they broke at a spot that makes duct tape unhelpful.

-The zipper constantly gets stuck at the bottom. The rain cover for the zipper is a good idea until you are trying to get in and out.

-Locations for water leaks are abundant. The velcro attachments from the rain fly to the tent? Yep. The zipper cover for the door? Bingo. Don't be fooled by the appearance of a sealed bathtub seam on the bottom--not at all. Double seal this one (I didn't).

 "Exactly what I wanted" 2009-07-23
By Lisa Miller (Hickory, NC USA)
I'm very happy with our tent. I took it out to Virgina during July 4th and it definitely kept us warm and cozy and very dry during a pretty strong downpour. It comfortably fit me, husband (6'2") and our small-medium sized dog. I loved all the pockets and places to store our stuff like glasses or a watch. It was also very easy to set up and take down.
