Eureka Tetragon 5 Adventure 7-Foot by 5-Foot Two-Person Tent

Needs a TON of seam sealing and waterproofing, and a good ground cloth. There are better on the market for the same or less. It's a cloth floor, I had sturdy floors in tents from Walmart.

Not the worst, but this is one I will keep as a loaner.

Very easy to set up and stays nice and warm, while still letting in some fresh air. Also easy to fold back up and put into original packaging which is unusual for camping products.

Bought this tent to go hiking on the AT in NC. For the money, I am not sure you can beat this tent. I have not used it live action yet, but setting up in the garage, here are my opinions-

1) Zippers and windows all zipped open and closed with no snags- nice extensions of cloth to cover the bottom zipper edge from rain, nice touch
2) Without the rainfly, great airy tent with wonderful views, if I can, I would camp without it in good weather. The rain fly seems very good, really covers the rest of the tent and I get the impression this thing would shed water pretty nicely
3) Fit and finish seemed very good- Materials seem strong, floor seems a little thinner than what I usually expect, so I will definitely be using a floor protector underneath. Nice touches are the extra gear bags and the loft area in the top of the tent. Size of the tent seems good for two people, roomy for one. Weight is excellent for backpacking. Regardless of the quality of the tent, I recommend sealing it anyways.

I've used this tent over 24 nights in the past year and thoroughly enjoy it.

Excellent for biking, backpacking, hiking, well suited for one person and ocassionally two people. I use a queen size inflatable bed which takes up entire floor of tent for added comfort. Lightweight and easy to pack/store.

Easy to set up and has excellent water repellent qualities.

Would recommend using tarp/ground cover to keep moisture from tent floor. Would definitely buy it again, if buying for two people to use I recommend getting the 7 X 7 Eureka Tetragon tent for added room.

I have used this tent on four backpacking trips and it is awesome for the money. It is 1) lightweight 2) very fast to set up 3) very sturdy in moderately high winds 4) reliable zipper, etc. 5) strong poles

When alone I can fit my entire backpack and my 6'1" self easily inside (if taller than this you'll need to sleep diagonally). The gear loft overhead is nice, and you can sit up for changing clothes. Have shared it with another person on one winter packpack trip (recently in Shenendoah Nat Park) and there was plenty of room for sleeping for two without being on top of each other. I've been rained on only once, slightly, and it kept me dry. On one backpack trip with 11 people to Mount Mitchell, mine seemed to be the only tent that didn't have condensation all over the top of it in the early AM.

I do recommend buying some of the inexpensive aluminum pole stakes at REI or similar, to replace the metal ones it comes with, if you want to save a few ounces more weight.

Overall outstanding value.
