"Just returned from a trip to Buffalo National River. This tent is extremely spacious for its size. It fit my wife and me as well as a lot of gear. The vestibules were great for holding our packs.

I only wish it were lighter, but I haven't found any thing as spacious that was a whole lot lighter. All in all, we really like it."

"We bought 14 of these tents for a Boy Scout troop 3 years ago. The previous scoutmaster wished us luck in this venture, assured us they would never hold up.

Boy, was he wrong. Our troop camps at least once a month and these tents still look like new!!!! We have had only 1 broken pole in all this time."

"When I first received this tent I was shocked to notice that the side of the box claimed that this particular tent was to be used as a casual campers tent, a "light use" tent.

I set it up to take a look at it and was some what disappointed at the material."

"I used this tent at a field camp in the Precordillera Andes Mts. in Argentina. I borrowed this tent for the month in Argentina and despite being extremely old and beaten upon by countless other students over the years it held up wonderfully!

Most of the other tents used showed all the abuse they had suffered over the years but this tent still looked great."

"I bought the tent in 1997 for a run on the Tatshenshini-Alsek and have never had much of an urge to replace it. It's lasted longer than any other heavy-use camping gear I own.

It goes up and comes down pretty quickly. It serves me just as well on whitewater rafting trips in Yukon and Alaska as it does at home in Florida."

"I have had this tent for several years. It is pretty good as far as I'm concerned. I was in a heavy rainstorm last time I used it and it did seem to let water slowly seep through the walls in a few places, but this could just be the material wearing out."

"I have the 2005 model Apex 2XTA, which comes with the aluminum poles. For the price I have found the space, build, and materials above par. The material is polyester taffeta (floor, sides, fly), which is 10-20% stronger than the nylon taffeta. The 2006 model only has a polyester taffeta fly, the floor/sides: nylon taffeta."

"Carried around Isle Royale for a week and huge storms hit the first two days. Heavy rain and heavy winds did produce a small leak on windward side of this tent at the very top of the door. Just drops - but it was a leak. I will note it faired better than much more expensive tents on the trip."

"Baked in a Timberline 4XT in July 2005 trip to DC and wanted a better breathing lightweight tent for summer use (summer camp with scouts; backpacking trips, canoe trips). This tent suits the bill with large areas of mesh, twin doors, twin vestibules."

"I have never really owned a nice tent before this one and I can say that I am thouroughly impressed with the quality of product you get for the money. I am quickly becoming a Eureka! loyalist. I have also purchased a silverdale sleeping bag by Eureka and just as impressed. I would buy anything from Eureka!"

"I use this tent and love it. I have never had the tent leak on me. As for the person who wrote the review above, the tent did not leak the rain through, that was your breathing that created the moisture on the inside. You were probably in temperatures below which the tent is rated and may not have had the tent staked out properly."

"This is the first new tent I've owned since I bought one over ten years ago. I didn't think tents would change much, but I was wrong. The Eureka Apex 2XT is extremely easy to set up, is very light weight/compact, and comes with seams sealed from the factory."

"This tent is fantastic! I took it camping in hot humid weather and in heavy rain. Not only did I stay completely dry but the ventilation kept me nice and cool in hot weather...and warm in cold weather! If you can't afford an expensive Marmot tent, this is the PERFECT tent for you and your gear."

"The tent set up fast and easy; I used it in the dead of winter and found it capable of 4 season use. Then it rained the next morning and it leaked enough to drench the inner top roof. . I was lucky enough to have the rain start in the morning. I didn't seamseal but to be honest i've spent 40 dollars on cheap tents and they have leaked only on the floor corners."
