Eureka Summit XT Review

"Great tent! It's a 2/3 person, 4-season tent, and at under 8 lbs. is not much heavier than a 3-season of comparible size. It features a door, window, and vestibule at each end. The windows can be opened for either the top or bottom wich increase cross ventilation. There is an optional para-wing that attaches to the front, adding additional dry space. You also have the option of a gear loft. I spent a weekend in mine whith 8" of snow fall and 20-30 mph winds...tent performed flawlessly! Note: if you ever forget to bring the poles like I did, tent can easily be set up using rope and branches. It looked kinda funny but I didn't see anyone for four days anyhow!"

"its my secend tent and its was the worst it did not survive africa at all the poles broke more than one after only one month no ziper was working and the floor liked havely in the tropical storms . it did stand nicely havy winds "45' or more but definately not a tent for long travling or not one that was made to last i would consider any other tent possible for travling !!!!!"

"Bought the tent for camping on a cross state bike ride that has every potential for being hot and humid because the tent has doors at each end.

The room is great, particularly with the vestibule. If it rains, I can stick the bike frame and wheels there; plenty of room to take a sponge bath, etc. The tent has performed well in some down pours.

One of the propriatary al. poles broke near the end of one section. I was able to trim the broken end, but the pole broke again. Eureka did not want to be bothered enough to provide me with pricing information, part numbers, etc. via e-mail. Bought some branded Easton replacement poles and tent has worked well since.

Rating reflects dissatisfaction with the metallurgy of the polse and poor customer service."
