 "totally misleading" 2009-08-15
By Andy Messenger
when looking at this product, it looks to be a great deal. even when looking at the product features there is a description of a tent. there also is a big ole picture of a tent and nowhere is a picture of a floor cover. i received the package and was like "hey, where's the tent?" then getting back online i read on and still wondering, "is the tent still coming and i get this cool floor saver with it?" sadly, no.

This is just for the footprint AKA groundcloth that goes under the tent. The product features tell you all about the tent that this footprint fits!

 "Good but would try another Eureka" 2008-10-06
By T. Collins
I bought the 3XTA after having the Eureka Timberline2 for many years. I wanted something bigger than a 2 man and this does the trick. It is great for 2 people but 3 would be cramped if you start bringing in your packs.

Pros - Easy to set up and light weight. No problems for one person to set up and move around before putting the stakes down.

The mesh is really tight and if noseeums are a problem for you, this will stop them.

Having a door on each side allows each person to get in and out without bothering the other.



Cons - Be careful when setting up as the side with the little triangle window (the "!" logo) really needs to be facing towards the lowest grade of incline. We were almost flat but still had the window at the highest grade. It rained the 2nd night and although no rain got in, the rain slides right down the fly and over the window. This then leads to rain running under your tent instead of the ground tarp. Tent was wet between ground tarp but bone dry between ground and tarp. Glad I sealed everything even after factory tape seal.

Also, I miss being able to open a window without having the world look in. If the fly is open (for a breeze) you have no protection from people looking in. And it is either all or nothing to have it open.

Lastly, the fly zipper is really long. To get out, you have to reach all the way across the open ground to grab it. Tough if it rains and there is mud right outside your door. As soon as you open the fly, you will get rain coming into your tent through the mesh. Since the zipper head is at the ground level, it gets mud and dirt on it so it makes it tough to zip up or down.



Overall, I would probably not buy this again. At least not for my purposes. I'll probably buy a 4 season tent and use this as a back up or for the kids. At least the price was really good. Glad I only spent $161 on it.

This is one of the best tents I have purchased for backpacking. It is very light but strong and sturdy. Myself and my brother are both 6 foot 1 and had plenty of room. Setup and takedown is very easy and a quick process. The 2 doors and vestibules are a great addition to this tent. Dont forget to waterproof and seam seal this tent and also place a tarp underneath it and it will last for a very long time. Eureka has done it again!

 "Good price for a good tent" 2008-03-19
By Timothy Randerson (Wisconsin)
Pros: Roomy enough for two + gear. Me=6'0" Her=5'2" Like other Eureka tents, very intuitive, easy quick set-up. I hook a Coleman Zephyr LED tent fan/light ($20 at Chinamart) on the ceiling loop. This was a godsend on warm nights (see ventilation comment below). Decent price $160. This tent has seen a good dose of rain and it is watertight. I did seal the factory sealed seams with Kenyon Seam Sealer 3. Wind is also not an issue. I have great confidence in the strength of the aluminum frame.



Cons: Plastic tent stakes...boo! I use MSR Groundhogs-excellent in the hardest ground.MSR Groundhog Stake (Each) Model 312054

Unzipping the fly is a loooonnnng reach even for me (6'0"). Zipper is at the far corner of the vestibule and dew/rain on the fly will get you wet if not careful. Ventilation is inadequate in hot/muggy weather. In warm weather you may want to leave the fly unzipped on BOTH vestibules. The one vent doesn't seem to do much.



I considered the Eureka Pinnacle Pass 2A but I wanted the vestibules for more elbow room inside. Given the lack of ventilation with the 3XTA, I would give serious consideration to the 2A again.

 "Excellent Backpacking tent" 2007-11-09
By G. Clark (Pataskala, OH)
Bought this tent last fall and I love it. Have been backpacking and regular car camping works great for both. I have been in all night rain storms and nights down in the low twenty's the tent has performed well. The three man size is great for two guys and backpacks. The vestibles are probably good for small packs, but not the larger 6500 size. But they are great for leaving your boots in and keeping the tent dry. The ventilation is great and only one side of the interior is actually not covered by the rain fly, this gives complete protection for the other three sides. This allows to to pack gear up against the sides and not get wet. Very lightweight and attaches easily right to my backpack.

 "Pinnacle Pass" 2009-07-18
By T. Smith (Whitefish)
Been using this tent for a few months steadily in Glacier National Park. Tent has excellent ventilation and is very roomy. Packs up small and is fairly light. Has held up well in 40-50 mph winds, hail and heavy rain in a thunderstorm with several additional guy lines attached, but also leaked slightly through the seams of the vestibule. Just a warning for buyers, waterproof the fly seams (probably should for any tent.) After a couple coats of sealant, tent was completely waterproof. So far a great lightweight tent!

 "Great tent" 2008-08-21
By Ferrell Gilmer (Lawrenceville, GA United States)
I am an Assistant Scoutmaster and purchased this tent two years ago for myself and one for my son. We have used our tents for the past two years and have been very pleased with their performance. The first thing I did before our first camping trip was seal all of the seams. Even though the seams are factory tape sealed, I felt better sealing them again. The ventilation is very good, the tent is comfortable (I am 6'2"), and the fly works very well. In several nights of camping in the rain, I have not gotten wet once and the tent held up well in windy weather. The tents are roomy and very easy to set up. This is a very nice tent, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a very good tent at a reasonable price.

 "Still looking for a different tent" 2008-06-24
By Vermont Gal
My boyfriend and I used this tent for a 1- month bicycling and camping trip. We had previously had the Eureka Backcountry, a very similar tent.



We did not like the way the vestibules were designed. If it is raining hard, and you want to get into the tent, then opening the vestibules will allow rain to get inside the tent through the mesh doors. This is a fine tent is you are only a fair-weather camper, but if you camp in the rain or if you go on long trips where it might rain some day, beware.



Our previous tent was better - the old Eureka Backcountry had zip-up solid panels on the mesh on the door.



We did like the way the Apex has two doors, but we are going to look for a tent with a better design.

 "Pinnacle Pass 2XTA" 2007-08-31
By NE Tracker (MA)
Nice compact tent, fast & easy to setup. Gave it 4 stars, since the mesh was not exactly perfect. No holes, and it should hold up fine.

The tent material and overall quality is top notch.

 "Worth It!" 2007-08-23
By Lonewolf (Mississippi)
I bought this tent for kayak camping because of the light weight and it's free standing abilities. It sets up very quickly and easily. Without the fly attached one gets a great view of the stars as well as an airy sleep.

The fly provides adequate vestibule space and should provide adequate protection from the rain. I would classify it as a two season tent, as in cold windy weather it might be drafty.
