 "Very good tent!" 2010-05-09
By E. A. Hoffman (Central VA, USA)
I have been away from camping for over 25 years and wanted to get back to it. I researched many tents before deciding on this one. This tent is very well made. It is fairly easy for one person to put up and take down. I have used it in 40 to 90F weather with better results below 80 F. It withstood moderate rain very well with no leakage. It has more than enough room for my type of camping (usually me and my gear, one or two nights, not far from the Jeep). Four good size adults and gear would be a little crowded. As mentioned in other reviews, for backpacking it is on the heavy side, but straps very well to a MOLLE main ruck or other external frame pack. Overall, I am very pleased with this tent and would recommend it to anyone looking for a sturdy all-season tent.

 "Eureka Assult Outfitter 4" 2010-05-03
By GB Maynard (Reisterstown, MD)
I really wanted to like this tent, but it has too many negatives. The tent is well made, and sturdy. Lots of room and I can stand up in it, more or less. Here's where Eureka drops the ball: Who ever thought that pole sleeves were a good idea in 2010? Haven't you heard of pole clips? This tent is an absolute beast to erect by yourself. Poles catch in the sleeves and it takes the strength of Samson to get the pole tips in their sockets. Poles are difficult to remove when taking the tent down. Even so, I could put up with the pole sleeves, but the real deal breaker is the entry flap in the fly. Open it to enter or leave when there is water on the tent, or God forbid, when it's raining, and water drips, or runs, right in the door and on your gear or the floor. Or on the tent door which doesn't open to the side, but to the floor. The zipper on the fly leaked on to the tent door and through to the tent floor when everything was buttoned up in a storm. There's a nylon strap to anchor the rear vestibule to a tent peg that is attached to the tent with plastic clips. This thing is just begging to be lost. Tent pegs are plastic and cheap aluminum, which bent while being pushed in by hand. This is not a well thought out tent! And it's heavy. Car camping only!

 "Strong, rugged tent" 2010-01-26
By B. Hill (too close to Birmingham, AL USA)
This is one strong, rugged tent - probably due to its military roots. I have used this tent when there was hard rains and straight line winds. Several of my fellow campers had their tents buckle, but this one barely moved, and I stayed completely dry.



Seen some argument from other reviews on whether this is a backpacking tent or not. If you're an ultra-lite hiker, then this is not the tent for you. In fact, at 13 pounds, for most hikers this would be a bit heavy for a single person. But it sleeps up to four average size people so you can split the weight. If you're car camping or not hiking far (hunting, canoeing), I wouldn't worry about it.



You'll want to buy more stakes, it doesn't come with enough for the guy out points, and the stakes that come with it are flimsy.



Pros: Holds up well in high winds. Sheds water well. Fairly easy to set up. Condensation has not been an issue for me. Lots of guy out points. Two doors and a vestibule at each door (big one in front, smaller one in back). Vestibules hold plenty of gear. Good tent in cold weather.



Cons: Somewhat bulky for a single person if you are hiking. Stakes that come with the tent are weak, plus not enough stakes for the guy lines. It can be hot in the summer, I had to experiment with the vestibule openings to get decent ventilation.



Overall, a good tent, I'd recommend it.

 "Great motorcycle touring tent" 2010-01-05
By John T. Gardner (San Diego, CA)
It's Marine Corps heritage sold me. It is very sturdy in wind (you can useup to 10 tie-downs) but just two or four are normal.Both tent and poles fit inside one of the side cases on my Honda ST-1300. I also use a compression sack to get it very small. Four people in it would have to be very friendly, but two and a kid, or just two are perfect. There's enough height to get your pants on standing up if you don't play for the Lakers. It's well made and things fit. There is enough overhang over the front door to leave it open in anything less than a driving rain. I do wish the front door attached at the side or had a center zipper. Being attached at the bottom takes some getting used to. I found one for $275 with some looking.



Hoo-Rah!

 "Great tent, too bad about the plastic window" 2009-07-16
By Fred (Toronto)
My family camps a lot and we got tired of cheap tents that fall apart after the first season and leak the first time they get rained on. Four or five years ago I splurged and invested in this expensive tent because it seemed durable and was good for 4 seasons. We would never use this tent for backpacking; it is far too heavy and bulky for that.



This has been an excellent tent. When the tent was new getting the first pole in was so difficult that I was afraid it would break, but now that the tent has been pitched dozens of times the first pole goes in easy. The tent has been water tight, with no need to apply seem sealer to it. We have camped at the ocean in the fall and still never had a problem with condensation inside the tent body. We have pitched it on sharp gravel multiple times and with out a ground cover and the floor had not been damaged.



The tent body is very durable and it the stitching is high quality. I like the side pockets and the optional loft. The heavy duty zippers never get stuck.



The roomy vestibules are great for storing gear and keeping the family dog dry. Due to the size and configuration of the front vestibule it is hard for me to reach the zipper. We have started using the back door as the main door because it is easier to get in and out of. I had really long arms it would be easier to reach the zippers in the front.





I love this tent. But there is one problem, the lame plastic window. I never cared about having a window in the fly sheet. The window is too cloudy to see out of and if I really need to see out I can just unzip the fly sheet a bit and still stay dry thanks to the roomy vestibule. But my real problem with the plastic window is that it has started falling apart. The plastic window had several holes in it when I unpacked the tent this summer. My tent in no longer waterproof thanks to this stupid plastic window. I'm going to see if Eureka will fix the window. If not for the problem with the window I would give this tent a 5 star rating. Would I buy this tent again? Yes if not for the plastic vestibule.



I have called Eureka (Johnson Outdoors) about getting the window repaired. They said that it might be covered under warranty but they will not replace the window, instead they will sew a piece of fabric over it. Also I have to pay the postage to sent it to New York State for repair and it will take Eureka 4-6 weeks to repair my tent add to that a week for it to reach New York and another week for it to be mailed back and the entire summer will be gone. I am very dissapointed!

 "Great Tent!" 2010-03-22
By Discover (MN USA)
This is the ultimate tent for campers or if you go on a trip in the wilderness. I went on a fly-in trip in Canada, although the weather was nice, if there was rain or wind, you would not get water in your tent, or rip this tent in the wind. It would last for 15 years of hard use! 3-5 people could fit in here! It is huge. 6 would be pushing the space if 1 person/air mattress was how you slept. There are small pockets along the side. It takes 2 people to set it up or take it down! Well worth the cost if you will use it a lot. It will pack up into one medium sized bag! A small bag for a huge tent! Great purchase.

 "Awsome tent" 2009-09-02
By Peter Labarba (SoCal)
When I was an Adult Leader with my son's Boy Scout Troop we had smaller versions of these tents for car camping. Our troop was fortunate enough to have dedicated backpacking and car-camping tents. They were pretty kid-proof. This tent goes up just as easy as the smaller versions and holds up in nasty weather when you need a tent. Our family had several large family style tents over the years and none of them could withstand a desert windstorm. This one could.

It has many tie-down points and is quite sturdy.



I bought this one in July 2009 a summer trip and it was perfect for luxury camping with two adults. I'm a bit over 6 feet and could stand upright in this tent. They say its for six people but we found it a nice fit for two with our car-camping Thermarest pads, carry-on luggage, and two folding chairs for sitting out afternoon rainstorms.



This thing has a big foot-print and we found it hard to find a site with a level area this big. It is only slightly less imposing in a campground than a Class "A" rv...

This tent was great. Very roomy. Not complicated to put up. It poured down rain and not a drop in the tent. Sleeps 4 with plenty of room. Green in color has you blending in with nature. Front and back door. Two hanging storage cubbies inside. No complaints here! Enjoy.

 "Do not use in high winds!" 2009-08-25
By Kristen L. White (England)
I don't usually give bad reviews, but I don't have much good to say about this tent. We bought this tent for our recent camping trip to Connemara, Ireland. We needed a large tent because we had to be able to fit our 11-week-old's playpen in it. We never got to sleep in it because the high winds (steady at 40 mph with gusts of up to 60 mph) in that area destroyed the tent within 5 hours. We did everything the manual said for high winds, but I guess it just isn't made for that kind of weather. The strange thing is all the other tents (cheap plastic or fiberglass poled tents) survived fine. It was probably due to the high, not-rounded, profile of the tent. One pole snapped in half, and all the others are permanently bent. Also one of the rings broke off. We're sending it back to get fixed, but the next time we go camping, we'll choose a campground that is more sheltered from the winds. I am disappointed though that this heavy duty tent broke when the cheap fiberglass and plastic tents survived.

 "Tried many, ended up loving this one" 2009-07-06
By W. Karrow (wisconsin)
I am a little obsessed at times, in a good way. I wont buy something for good until I have tried and researched as many alternatives as I can. I tried the Northface trailhead 6, a couple of Kelty Tents, and an REI base camp. All of these were fine tents, however the Eureka is the fastest tent I have ever set up, I can do it by myself in ten minutes without breaking a sweat. It is made out of ripstop nylon, something that is increasingly hard to find these days. I am 6'4 and can stand up perfectly in it.



One thing I would mention is that the floor saver is a little cheap, but other than that I love it.



I think it is a little tight for 6 people, but other than that this is the perfect tent. the Northface Trailhead 6 was a close second but a pain to put up.
