- what\s new with the eureka apex 3 xt tent
Great “3 season” tent,
We paid for a prior chronicle (poles slip thru a fabric hovel instead of tent writing onto poles) in late 2004 or early 2005 as good as it lasted 5, roughly 6, years. We went camping for 3 to 5 weekends any year in snow, rain, as good as object as good as it worked well. Each time after operate we would air dry it as good as a cosmetic it sat upon as good as a cosmetic we had in it (bathtub!). Eventually a waterproofing wore out as good as a singular doorway zipper broke. Now which a alternative doorway zipper has damaged multiform trips later, we have been replacing a tent with a subsequent era of a same thing.
It looks similar to many of a things which angry us about a initial a singular have been bound in this latest 2011 version. Tent simply clips upon to poles instead of shifting thru fabric; a singular chairman can some-more simply “up” a newer chronicle of a tent. Mesh was combined (not replaced!) to tent doors for air upsurge instead of usually being solid. The foyer is reduction ungainly to unzip given there is right away space to strech out from inside though in contact with a soppy rainfly, as well as a tiny some-more room in a foyer too.
The rigging shelve is a good tiny addition. A singular unresolved double back (previous version) was ok for a flashlight though a backpacking tent can be improved employed with a tiny rigging shelve to have operate of all a inside space.
Several really teenager gripes with this tent: there is an unprotected partial of a tent which a sleet fly does not cover, so which needs each year waterproofing courtesy (as we already found out). Looks similar to a nose tie-out is additionally left from which same mark as well which equates to which side of a tent isn’t hold out from inside rigging though additionally equates to it expected won’t hold a rainfly when pulled out as well distant or due to a wind-flapped rainfly either.
Good purchase, good tent. Good for a latest as good as (our) normal backpacking family of 3. Very absolutely fits dual normal adults with dual 40 lb backpacks inside, as well as Min-Pin dog or a singular child. Haven’t had 3 adults in it. Airflow is decent in a prior tent in prohibited continue as good as anticipating it is many improved with filigree doors now.

|Wonderful Tent,
The Tent is a small heavy, yet undiluted for <3 day backpacking trips, we unequivocally similar to a dual stick complement this tent has, it can be set up quick as well as easy in a dark, usually underneath dual minutes, stand in doorway choice is unequivocally nice, good air upsurge for wet areas. Wish a building was done out of a stronger fabric, strongly suggest laying down a tarp in hilly terrain. But a good understanding for a price, can’t kick it. If we go camping some-more than twice a month year round, it might usually final a integrate of years, we might be wrong though, Eureka creates a little good tents!

|Great Tent,
Perfect for 2 adults (particularly when a single is a nervous sleeper). we could simply see 2 adults as well as a child in a tent. Hint: stagger a rainfly in great continue to have a vestibules simpler to get in as well as out of. Very stout as well as discerning to setup. we do a lot of camping as well as this is a many appropriate tent I’ve had.
