Customer Reviews
Good but would try another Eureka
I bought the 3XTA after having the Eureka Timberline2 for many years. I wanted something bigger than a 2 man and this does the trick. It is great for 2 people but 3 would be cramped if you start bringing in your packs.
Pros - Easy to set up and light weight. No problems for one person to set up and move around before putting the stakes down.
The mesh is really tight and if noseeums are a problem for you, this will stop them.
Having a door on each side allows each person to get in and out without bothering the other.
Cons - Be careful when setting up as the side with the little triangle window (the "!" logo) really needs to be facing towards the lowest grade of incline. We were almost flat but still had the window at the highest grade. It rained the 2nd night and although no rain got in, the rain slides right down the fly and over the window. This then leads to rain running under your tent instead of the ground tarp. Tent was wet between ground tarp but bone dry between ground and tarp. Glad I sealed everything even after factory tape seal.
Also, I miss being able to open a window without having the world look in. If the fly is open (for a breeze) you have no protection from people looking in. And it is either all or nothing to have it open.
Lastly, the fly zipper is really long. To get out, you have to reach all the way across the open ground to grab it. Tough if it rains and there is mud right outside your door. As soon as you open the fly, you will get rain coming into your tent through the mesh. Since the zipper head is at the ground level, it gets mud and dirt on it so it makes it tough to zip up or down.
Overall, I would probably not buy this again. At least not for my purposes. I'll probably buy a 4 season tent and use this as a back up or for the kids. At least the price was really good. Glad I only spent $161 on it.
Awesome product!!!
This is one of the best tents I have purchased for backpacking. It is very light but strong and sturdy. Myself and my brother are both 6 foot 1 and had plenty of room. Setup and takedown is very easy and a quick process. The 2 doors and vestibules are a great addition to this tent. Dont forget to waterproof and seam seal this tent and also place a tarp underneath it and it will last for a very long time. Eureka has done it again!
I love this tent
I cant say enough about how happy I am with this tent Packs small goes up super easy tons of room for how small it packs lots of head room
Good price for a good tent
Pros: Roomy enough for two + gear. Me=6'0" Her=5'2" Like other Eureka tents, very intuitive, easy quick set-up. I hook a Coleman Zephyr LED tent fan/light ($20 at Chinamart) on the ceiling loop. This was a godsend on warm nights (see ventilation comment below). Decent price $160. This tent has seen a good dose of rain and it is watertight. I did seal the factory sealed seams with Kenyon Seam Sealer 3. Wind is also not an issue. I have great confidence in the strength of the aluminum frame.
Cons: Plastic tent stakes...boo! I use MSR Groundhogs-excellent in the hardest ground.MSR Groundhog Stake (Each) Model 312054
Unzipping the fly is a loooonnnng reach even for me (6'0"). Zipper is at the far corner of the vestibule and dew/rain on the fly will get you wet if not careful. Ventilation is inadequate in hot/muggy weather. In warm weather you may want to leave the fly unzipped on BOTH vestibules. The one vent doesn't seem to do much.
I considered the Eureka Pinnacle Pass 2A but I wanted the vestibules for more elbow room inside. Given the lack of ventilation with the 3XTA, I would give serious consideration to the 2A again.
Excellent Backpacking tent
Bought this tent last fall and I love it. Have been backpacking and regular car camping works great for both. I have been in all night rain storms and nights down in the low twenty's the tent has performed well. The three man size is great for two guys and backpacks. The vestibles are probably good for small packs, but not the larger 6500 size. But they are great for leaving your boots in and keeping the tent dry. The ventilation is great and only one side of the interior is actually not covered by the rain fly, this gives complete protection for the other three sides. This allows to to pack gear up against the sides and not get wet. Very lightweight and attaches easily right to my backpack.
