Eureka! Apex 2XT - Tent (sleeps 2)


The Eureka Apex 2 XT is a lightweight 2 person tent with 2 doors, 2 vestibules and great ventilation. The sturdy shockcorded fiberglass frame is durable and packs down to a manageable size. Both doors and the back wall of the tent are no-see-um mesh for great ventilation and stargazing opportunities. Two vestibules provide cover for excess gear and allow for great venting in the rain by shielding the mesh on the doors. An additional poke out wall vent provides even more ventilation options. The full coverage, factory sealed fly all but guarantees a snug night and a great trip.FREE standing design is simple to set up and take down.Sturdy shockcorded fiberglass frame.Multi-coated polyester fly covers non-closable roof and wall vents.Poke out ...

This Backpacking Tents give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great tent bad Warranty
Bought this tent for my Webelos Scout in Nov.. Had great reviews, it's advertised in the BSA magazine, had to be good. The tent itself is easy to put up, awesome rainfly, horrible customer service. Hubby seam sealed it twice and rain guarded it. The second time it was set up... it leaked. You could see pin holes in the corner that it leaked, like the needle used to stitch it was too big. Sent it back to Eureka they are now sending me MY tent back. According to them... must have been condensation ( no one in the tent condensation does not freely drip), must have been the way the footprint was layed out... Going with a Coleman Hooligan next time.

2. If you are just starting out - This is the tent for you.
I used this all summer as I haven tented in over 20+ years. Let me tell you this is the tent, it's got a rain cover that actually keeps rain out and the fly also creates on both sides covered areas to keep gear dry. The tent also features only two tent poles and clips. Bottom line you don't need to feed poles through nylon. You can put this up in less than 3 minutes if need be. Lay it out, temp stake it, insert poles, clip, clip, clip, clip and tie the top. Done. Rainfly is colored key so you know exactly how it goes on.

I love this tent so much I bought Eureka! Apex 3XT - Tent (sleeps 3) for myself and son. Don't get me wrong you could fit two people in the 2XT but it's without a clothing bag and other tent gear. If you use an air mattress like we use the Coleman 4-in-1 Quickbed you can fit one of these in the 2xt and it's a single...
