The lack of gear loft allows full use of the headroom at the peak.Īlthough they are still dome tents, the largest 2 models feature a somewhat different tent body and rainfly design than the other Tetragons. These sizes have enough peak height to accommodate tall campers and allow most campers some movement about the tent without contacting the ceiling. These tents can accommodate a couple of queen air mattresses or 3 or 4 large cots. Eureka has instead added additional long, narrow storage pockets above the doors for light gear. The divider means that these tents can't have a gear loft. These tents also have 2 pockets along the side walls for storing small gear.Ī hanging fabric divider separates these tents into 2 rooms.
The winged canopy stakes out in front of and behind the tent body, providing more stability in wind, which is handy for these large sizes. Footwear or packs can also be left under the wings. It shelters the doorway from crosswinds and some wind-driven rain. The canopy provides some of the function of a vestibule. The tent body dimensions are 7' wide by 5' deep by 4' high. Self-inflating pads are recommended for more than one camper occupying the tent. The small sizes can accommodate a single twin air mattress for solo camping.

The downside of it is that its a little bulky for one person to carry for an extended period, but if you divy out the poles and fly to some friends it'll be no sweat for a 3-5 day hikeZippers along the sides and a toggle in the center of the top of the storm flap close the window against wind and rain.Ī hanging gear loft and two pockets, one along each side wall, keep small items from getting lost among sleeping equipment.
I am impressed with how this economic tent handled a wicked Florida storm and I feel comfortable about my upcoming trips to the Smokies and Canadian Rockies. There were a few leaks toward the end of the 3 hour deluge but that was only because water pooled where I didn't make the rain fly taut enough. Don't get me wrong it was a little scary sometimes but for the most part it was solid. Two trees fell over in the neighbor's yard, but the tent held. The winds were 65+mph and the rain was torential. A friend called and said that there was a tornado warning issued for my area, so what to do? I decided to put the new tent to the test and ride out the storm in it. I set it up and sealed the seams on the rain fly. I got the tent in the mail at work and decided to set it up when I got homw to check it out. I'm a big believer in getting what you pay for things, but check out this story. I had reservations about buying this tent because of it's low price ($85).
