User Review: Eureka! Alpenlite XT

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Design: reinforced a frame
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: not a problem
Weight: 7 1/2 lbs
Price Paid: $150

I have the older 2 door model with less venting. In terms of standing up to high winds, torrential rain and snow loads this tent is great. You don't need to worry about having a dry comfy place to sleep with this tent. It is a bit small for two people especially with gear. I look at it like the ultimate solo tent.

Setup is easier than some 4 season tents. It's better for winter, spring and fall weather where it's cooler. Maybe the new one with more vents is better for summer camping, but I keep the vestibules folder back in the summer.

I have $600 tents and this one is as well made but is cramped and doesn't have the fancy venting.
