 "Great Value, Great Family Tent, Keeps Us Dry!!!" 2010-03-24
By Daniel J. Barberio (Florida)
I was a little apprehensive about buying this tent due to the number of reviews about it having water leak issues. I have to say that those reviewers must have done something wrong somewhere along the line. My family put this tent to the test the very 1st time we used it. On the second night it rained a solid downpour for eight hours straight. Not a fun camping night, but we did stay Very Dry. Not a single drop of water entered the tent. I did use about 3-4 cans of water sealer on all surfaces of the tent before use. The rainfly is a bit too small for the tent on the sides, but I just pulled it extra tight before staking it down and it did the trick. It is very easy to put up and I do it by myself in about 15 minutes, including the rainfly. Take time to seal the seams and other surfaces and you will stay dry. Overall a great, roomy, family tent!!!

 "Another Great Product from Eureka" 2010-03-04
By Jeff Carlson
This is my second tent from Eureka. I've been using their 2xt for backpacking for several years.



This tent held up great through a weekend of thunderstorms. We were under tornado conditions and my tent held tight while other were blowing around the campground.



Very roomy. Easy to setup alone. Make sure you seal the seams good, like all tents.

 "big, could use a little improvement" 2009-08-10
By unclfstrmn (Minn)
great size for family camping, fit queen air mattress and 3 singles for the boys with some room left for gear. fiberglass poles I rate at just ok, small ones for rain fly broke after first use but they are way small so not overly supprised, looking for upgraded poles now and I'm sure it will be fine. Seal those seams, then seal them again when you notice a leak, ones you find it and seal it seams to be fine...

 "OK, but there is better" 2009-08-09
By Robert I. Walker (Clearwater, FL)
We bought this tent after reading many reviews. I am an eagle scout and have experienced many tents!

The 1610 has Positives and negatives:

Positive:

1) Easy & quick to assemble, takes 10 mins, due to 4 Poles!

2) Good inner space, height

Negative

1) The fly-sheet poles on the entrance break on first use. I have seen other complaints of this, and unless Eureka changes the design, the tent is completely flawed.

2) The sides of the tent are not covered by the fly-sheet, and again a flawed design. When it rains, it seeps through the seams and zips. Yes, I used 4 cans, yes 4 cans of sealant, and it still rained in!

Overall, easy to use tent, ok in mild weather, but unless Eureka changes the entrance fly-sheet poles, and redesigns the sides, it is a flawed product.

 "Excellent in every way" 2009-02-24
By Mysterious Mr Wong (U.S.A.)
I sealed the seams as soon as I received my tent a couple years ago and have to say it's great in most every way. I was camping and up comes a huge thunder storm. 30mph winds and even the rainfly was left unharmed. The poles did bend a bit, as they are flexible to begin with, but the tent kept me dry and out of the storm for the first 4 days of my camping trip. I always use a floor saver as well so that not only does the tent receive more protection from rips in the floor, but it gives an extra layer of defense again ground moisture. Ventilation is great on the tent also but there is still normally some condensation within the tent each morning, at least in cooler weather anyway. I use a dual mantle coleman lantern so each morning I light it until the moisture has gone. I recommend this tent because I own it and have used it extensively. Best wishes to you all.

 "Perfect tent for Dad and Lad!" 2009-10-28
By Randall L. Rudeen (Allen, Texas USA)
I purchased this tent for a Dad and Lad Scout campout this last weekend. I was able to get it from Academy marked down to $59.99. Felt I got a great deal. My son and I arrived at camp right at dusk and the tent went up easily and quickly, even in the dark. The temperatures reached the low 40s both nights and we stayed comfortable and dry. I love the extra pockets included for small gear storage. With two air mattresses and our gear, we probably couldn't have fit anyone else in the tent...but perfect for the two of us. I plan on buying cots for the next campout so we can store our stuff under them, thus creating more space.

 "Suprisingly disappointed" 2009-08-30
By Jonathan Brett
I have owned an 8 x 8 tent made by Eureka (Gander Mountain label) for about 8 years and it is an excellent tent. I also own a 7 x 8 tent made by Kelty which is also and excellent tent. I take great care of my tents as well. I bought this tent with great excitement, for two reasons: It was designed more like my Kelty tent, which I love, and because it had the Eureka name, which is considered to be a great name in tents.



After unboxing the tent, I set it up in no time at all. This tent sets up VERY EASY, just like my Kelty. After getting it set up and taking a closer look at the seams, etc., I discovered that there were about 2 inches of missing stitches along one of the seams. I accepted this as merely a mass-production flaw and I stitched it up. I REALLY wanted to keep this tent. The next day, I began examing the surface of the tent fabric a bit more and discovered a couple small holes that were obviously original holes (smooth edges). At this point I was becoming skeptical of whether this tent was REALLY any better than the cheap tents you can get at Walmart. I tried to ignore these flaws, becaust at this point, I still really wanted to keep this tent because of it's ease of set-up and it's great ventilation.



The next week I took this tent on our annual Canadian adventure into northern Ontario, to be used for interior kayak camping. It set up easily, It held up good in the rain, but not great, and everything went fairly well with it for 3 nights. At this point, I had planned on keeping it. Then, upon returning home,I unpacked it to dry it out more thoroughly, and I noticed that one of the metal ferrules had just fallen off the end of one of the fly rods. I was so disappointed, as I knew I could not justify keeping this tent.



It is my opinion, based on examining a LOT of tents, that this tent, as much as I want to say otherwise, is no better in quality than those that are half the price from Walmart or similar stores. From the crooked weak stitching, to the inferior fabric, to the horribly assembled rods, I saw no reason to pay twice as much as a similar tent.



Either Eureka quality has dramatically gone down over the years, or they are having their less expensive tents built by some inferior company, and selling them with the Eureka name. One thing is absolute, this tent was not near the quality of the one I bought years ago for about the same price, not even close. I am guessing that if I kept this tent, it wouldn't have lasted more than 2 years of regular camping. I returned it.



I would have given it 3 stars because that's what it is, and AVERAGE tent. However, because it cost twice as much as the same size AVERAGE tent from Walmart, I had to deduct 1 star. If you want an average tent that will perform just as good as this one, you can get one for half the price. If you want a high-quality tent for more money, look elsewhere. I wish I could recommend this tent but I cannot.

 "Great Value!" 2009-07-21
By M. Olivas (Virginia)
In the past I rarely tent camped -- just two backpack tenting experiences (on Sado Island for Earth Festival), two car camping expeditions (in Yellowstone, then Malibu) and one week living in a platform tent while working at a Girl Scout Camp in high school.



So I was nervous about committing to a tent.



I read all kinds of reviews of mass-produced tents and higher-end tents. I'd decided that if I couldn't get a higher-end tent (a Kelty, an REI or a Eureka) at a good price I'd go with a mass-produced 4-person Quest Eagle's Peak at Dick's for [..]



I do energy work and thought "Why not use Law of Attraction for the perfect tent?"



So I wrote in my journal "I'd like the Eureka Tetragon 5 for [..] or less or even better."



The next day after lunching with my friends, I rushed to Dick's b/c I had to get up the road.



Imagine my excitement when I saw the Eureka Tetragon 8 for [..]! An unadvertised special!



It's a breeze to put up and take down, and b/c I am a camping wussy, I am happy to say it fits my full-size air-mattress with tons of room for my boyfriend (6" 4"') and me and our gear.



We didn't get the predicted rain, but am confident that it will do well.



Am considering getting some polyfil for underneath from Lowe's.



Very very happy!

 "Great tent for the money" 2009-06-05
By Brian Almonrode
Having a brand new Tiger Cub and the first of many camping trips coming up this summer a new tent was in order. After reviewing many sites such as EMS, REI, I decided on a four person, 3 season tent.



The Tetragon offers a few of the most important features for me:

- Polyester construction - no nylon means longer life

- Easy setup - think Tiger Cub helper - only 2 poles!

- Desperate fly - passed the garden hose rain test with flying colors

- Right height - my 48" tall son can stand in the middle

- Light weight - not a backpacking tent but easily carried in my ruck sack



Overall, very pleased with this tent - costs a bit more than some Coleman or other large brands, but for me buying a tent from a tent company is important.



Recommend buying the footprint and the correct stakes for you anticipated soil type - this tent doesn't come with them (and shouldn't). Eureka did lose one star for the slightly lower quality stuff sacks - there's no drawstring button (the little spring-loaded clip) to keep the tent in and because the tent poles keep the rolled (or stuffed) length a bit too wide.



Highly recommend despite the 2 VERY minor issues above.

 "Super easy setup!" 2009-05-08
By Virginia Newcomb (Kansas City, MO)
I ordered this tent because I need a tent I can set it up by myself. It was so easy to set up the very first time. The two poles set up first and then, beginning at the bottom, the tent is easily snapped onto the poles. Lots of ventilation for warm weather camping, yet the fly that goes over the whole thing keeps rain out. I really love this tent.

 "Stays dry. 7x7 is a good size for 2 adults and backpacks" 2009-11-23
By Brian R
After reading some reviews that said this tent leaks, I was nervous about using it in the rain. I didn't apply any extra waterproofing and it stayed totally dry during a night of wind and an inch of rain. Size is perfect to fit 2 adult males and their backpacks. The 7x5 may be lighter and pack smaller, but having your backpack inside on a rainy night is well worth the extra weight of the 7x7.

 "Problem experienced with the Tetragon 7" 2009-10-04
By Glenn Kent (Georgia)
I've been on 2 to 4-week wilderness trips in northern Canada and Alaska reaching up to 300-miles from the nearest settlement. Needless to say, there's been bad weather experienced in tents. Never has there been a tent pole failure (an old Eureka 3 season). A Eureka Tetragon 7 was purchased as an inexpensive tent intended for car camping; not for critical dependency. It was delivered late afternoon with expected overnight rain. Good. It could be tested to determine if seam sealer might be needed as a touchup. It went up before nightfall in the back yard. A check the following morning showed one of the two main poles had snapped in half. Though not in the tent overnight to describe wind conditions, there was an indicator. Two 10-ft-diameter outdoor canvas umbrellas had been mistakenly left open overnight. If strong winds had been present, they would not have remained standing. After allowing the tent to dry in what became a sunny day, a closer examination showed the two short poles in sleeves above both doors looked as if someone had deliberately abused them. They would not last much longer. I sent an email to the manufacturer asking if they knew of manufacturing defects. Two months later, there was still no response. That's when this review was submitted. I've since purchase a Marmot Thor P3 expedition tent (for other purposes obviously) and I'm considering a 3-season from Big Agnes or Marmot (at higher prices than the Tetragon 7). Having owned North Face expedition, Eureka 3 season and car camping tents plus experienced other brands on trips, it was unfortunate to permanently eliminate Eureka (now owned be a larger parent company) from any further purchasing decisions. It's a manufacture's decision what kind of reputation they want to develop; no response to an inquiry is not a good customer experience. I will never trust Eureka again.

 "Poles broke the first time we used it" 2009-10-04
By S. Stiner (Lower Michigan)
The tent poles are cheap and several of them snapped the first time the tent was used. Amazon was great with the refund and even paid for return shipping.

 "Poor design that won't last long" 2009-08-24
By J. Reynolds
We bought 12 of these tents. Right of the bat, 1 of the 12 was missing a grommet to hold the back small pole over the window. Basically killing that tent. After the first year of use 7 of the 12 tents were broken. The number one repair problem with the tents are the poles. The tent uses 4 poles, which in itself makes it harder to setup than most 2 or 3 pole designs. Two poles cross to form the main supports for the tent. 5 tents had these poles break, and we were able to easily repair them. The two small poles over the windows are so thin, I've had 8 of these poles just splinter. The metal ends do not come off, making these impossible to repair. They have to be fully replaced. So far Eureka has failed to respond to 3 email requesting assistance, as their is no place to purchase these pieces to fix the tent. The small poles also lead to holes in the rain fly when being installed, if they slip from the grommet that holds them.



In general when we set the tent up, it was very loose and not very tight, making it look extremely flimsy.



For the money, their are tons of tents that are much more stable and will last longer. I personally chose to not buy something this cheap again and we are buying Alps Mountaineering Tents.

 "tetragon good" 2009-08-23
By alan Freshman (syracuse,ny)
Purchased for light duty. Used few times so far and has worked exactly as advertised. Set-up is simple and can be done by one person.

Fine room for two,but would be crowded for three. Only light rain so far, and was fine. Can be used without stakes if necessary.

Eureka recommends a ground cover under the tent. Easily accomplished and can fit in tent bag. Nice little storage compartments on wall and ceiling. So far well worth the money. Didn't give five stars as it hasn't had a real rain test or the test of time.

 "Tetragon 5 Experience" 2009-12-05
By Gregory S. Bean (Utah Mountain Valley)
I have now received three of these tents (Bought them for Christmas presents) and slept out in two of them on a 40 degree and a 20 degree night. The length is just enough for me at 6'4". The width is enough for two people and room to store some gear. I like the flexibility of the two small mesh pockets, one at each end which can be easily removed and relocated. I also like the pocketed gear loft which can hang down to use the pockets or be hooked to the roof to serve as a loft. I didn't sleep in the tent in bad weather (our rainy season has turned to snow, anyway) but have treated the tents with a repellent ($5/can - about 1 can/tent at Walmart). I think the staking at each corner and on the front ends of the fly, and on the tie down loops at each corner of the fly will hold this tent down but larger stakes than the included wire stakes may be necessary. I also bought this tent because the weight is just five pounds and you can split it between two hikers. I'm happy with it.

 "Eurake is a good name" 2009-10-02
By Gail K. (New Jersey)
I chose this tent because I was downsizing from a much larger Eureka tent that I had used for years, but was too big for one person. This tent is the perfect size for one, but it would be very tight with two. It is very easy to set up, it literally goes up in minutes. I think it's great for summer camping, because of all the screen. The nights were in the 40's when I used it, and I would not use it in any colder temps, but that's just me. The only minus I give it has to do with the wonderful big screen "windows" that come all the way to the "bathtub" bottom: on my second night out, a thick ground fog came in off the lake. The moisture got everywhere, including onto my sleeping bag. It went right under the sides of the rain fly and into the tent. I had to dry everything out when I got home. I feel this would not have happened if the screen did not come so low to the ground. When packed into its carry bag, it is the size of my yoga mat. Just throw it in the car and go! There are 2 side storage pockets, plus a hammock style multi pocket that hangs overhead, so you can keep all sorts of little things handy. I kept my fleece dry that foggy night by laying it on the overhead pocket. I trust the Eureka brand and am looking forward to camping next season. Also, the inexpensive price is always nice!

 "Perfect lightweight backpacking tent" 2009-09-24
By Mary Schultz (Palo Alto, CA)
This tent was everything I needed on my first backpacking trip... relatively low price, super lightweight, easy to put up with two or even just one person and kept us cool and dry during our 3 night hiking trip in the rainy tropics. Not sure how it would hold up in cold or windy conditions, but was well ventilated and stayed completely dry inside due to the well designed vents/windows and rain fly. Slept two people perfectly with gear, would not use for 3 or more as would be too cramped. Would definitly recommend for a newbie backpacker.

 "Caveat - tent can't be sealed against wind" 2009-08-05
By Rhymer (Austin, Heart of Texas, USA)
I own this little tent (paid more for it at an outdoors store). Have been very happy with the quality of Eureka tents in the past. The last one I had survived five treks to Canyonlands.



Erected this tent my first day in southeastern Utah, at Kodachrome State Park. A great place to visit, by the way. I waterproofed the seams, as I always do in a new tent. Some kind of front came in, and the wind blew nearly constantly for two days. It was only then I discovered that there are two small windows in the side of this tent which can be tied closed with tabs at their sides. There are no zippers. How much red dirt can be in blown in when those tabs are tied closed? Lots and lots. And if you are not familiar with this particular dirt, it is very fine and very difficult to completely remove (except with a desert high wind).



Though I like everything else about this tent, I will never use it again. And I'll be sure that every opening can be zipped closed in every tent I buy from now on.

 "A good tent." 2009-07-13
By William D. Crase (UT)
My nephew and I bought this tent for a backpacking trip and it did not dissapoint. Not only is it lightweight, but it was plenty roomy for the two of us, and we're not lightweights. I am 5'8" 205lbs. and my nephew is 6'1" 240lbs. It's not unreasonable to suggest that Mom, Dad and two young children could make do with this tent.

It didn't rain on us so I can't speak to that, but the poles were strong, the seams held, the zippers worked and we had no problems for the 2 night, 25 mile hike.

I recommend this tent and would not hesitate to buy it again.
