Price Paid: 300$

Summary

Overall a very worthwhile puchase!

Pros

  • Rigid build
  • Semi air-tight
  • Easy setup

Cons

  • Heavy

I bought this tent about two years ago for my backpacking needs and it has held up through my many ventures and is a very high quality product.

I would hesitate using this in the summer because it can get a little toasty, but the air ventilation is very well suited for mild summer tenting. Also, this tent is a little heavy, so in the summer I would opt for a lighter tent or hammock that would not need to be able to withstand heavy weather.

The frame is extremely sturdy, and will hold up flawlessly to heavy wind rain and snow. The inside compartment can be a little confining, but I found it plenty big enough for myself, my dog, and my pack. 

All in all, kudos to Eureka for their quality workmanship!
