Good light weight tent for backpacking. I like the two doors. But I was expecting a tent that was good for all seasons. My error. Good for summer but not advised for the winter months.
 Excellent tent ... but watch out for bees! August 14, 2007
This is a great tent. It is very light weight and pretty spacious for a 2-3 person tent. Sets up very quickly. Sturdy. Folds up into a very compact size. The large mesh windows are awesome if you want to wake up to a lovely view in the morning. Great ventilation. No bugs can get through the mesh, not even tiny gnats. The fly extension over the mesh doors is a nice touch for sheltering from the elements. My friends are more experienced campers and even they considered it a "serious tent". If you can get this for around 60% off retail, this is really good bang for the buck.
I would give it 5-stars for the quality, except for one caveat -- the peach-amber color attracts bees!
I think you're okay as long as you are diligent about keeping the mesh doors zipped closed as often as possible. If you're not camping in an area where extra-strength bug repellent is a must year-round, you should be okay. When I camped in this tent, one or two bees would come scout the tent every 2 to 3 days. They would end up getting stuck in the space between the fly and the tent body. You can just shoo them off. But this tent may not be a smart choice for those severely allergic to bee stings. Nor for those who simply find the overhead buzzing unnerving. Maybe spritzing the tent with a bit of bug repellent will help ... though you should probably make sure this doesn't deteriorate the tent material.
 another nice tent from eureka August 13, 2007
this is the second tent i have owned from eureka the first, although i still have,just aquired a hole in the bottom and it was time for a new one. so i went to eureka online did the research and found this tent through amazon. this is the same tent eureka markets under a different name all the specs. are the same just different color. it was a little difficult at first to set up but only once. after that it was a breeze. anyone looking for a nice tent for two people will be very happy with the room . i didn't have any water issues inside, and it did rain, all in all top quality tent from eureka.
GREAT FOR A TALL PERSON July 26, 2007
This is just the right size for someone 6'6" or shorter. I am 6'4" tall and used the tent with a little room to spare. My wife an I used an inflatable Queen air matress in this and the Queen mattress fits perfectly inside. I didn't feel the swampiness that you get with other tents that have poor ventilation. The ventilation was great and the bugs never got in. The vestibules provide ample room on the sides for keeping gear dry from rain. The setup was very easy and the aluminum poles were way better than the flimsy fiberglass ones. They are smooth all the way down the pole, instead of that metal connector on fiberglass that prevents you from sliding the tent loops down the poles.
I recommend getting a 10' x 14' heavy duty tarp to put underneath to protect the floor (and air mattress) if you can find one. We have a 10' x 10' one that works great for the tent, but doesn't provide enough space under the vestibules.
Only improvement would be placing the bags to keep your things dry higher up on the tent, near the top instead of right by your head.
