![]() ![]() Eureka tents aren’t exactly cheap you’re in median to high-cost territory here. If you don’t have to check your bank account and budget before you get started on this, then we envy you.

If you’re like us, you scan through nearly one-hundred or more reviews per item you look to purchase, and weigh the pros and cons against each other.

Everything from materials, construction, weight, specs, weatherproofing, capabilities and more all wrap up into the mark of quality. Quality - This is the end-all feature we look for. How We Chose Our Selection of The Best Eureka Tents If you’re lucky enough to spend a night in a Eureka tent, you’re basically being pampered outdoors. Eureka doesn’t hide behind crummy price tags to lure you in, they lay it all out there in the open. ![]() There’s two types of products: cheap, and ones that don’t suck. While there’s a bunch of excellent brands like Coleman and The North Face, there’s something significant about these guys. You’ll get a killer set of floor space, a great price, and Eureka’s excellent customer service in case you run into any problems. Be sure to also check out or large camping tents review for more great items like this. Apart from that, the only other gripe we have is that the carrying bag is rather rubbish. You’ll either have to invest in a waterproof spray, or get a proper cover for the top of it. That same design leaves room for rainfall to leak through the roof. You get some pretty good air circulation through the specific roof design, but it comes with a catch. Setup is a breeze, and with only six fiberglass poles, it’s a solid construction that’s ready for every trip on your planner. First of all, the center spire is 7 feet tall, so you’ll be able to freely walk around, even if you’re a taller lad. These tent giants are the reason we’re here, and this Copper Canyon Six-Person really rocks the boat. This tent lost points in this category because it only has one door, one vent, and one vestibule.Eureka, it’s the solution to your large-scale camping needs (we couldn’t resist at least one pun). It is good for things you might way accessible in the middle of the night, like rain jackets and flashlights. FeaturesĪ large gear loft connects near the peak providing plenty of storage for light items, but the frame superstructure doesn’t provide enough structure to put anything heavy in the loft. The Suma includes plenty of guy-line attachment points – at each corner, at the center of each wall, and four others – but the high side profile is a big target for strong, sustained winds. Though it was secure when new, a taped seam across the center the floor presents a worry for future water seepage. The simple dome pole setup doesn’t provide much structure for blowing winds as the high peak and broad side-walls present a lot of big surfaces to get buffeted by the wind. The Suma took the bottom spot in this category. The poles connect to the corners of the tent with a pole-into-grommet system. It’s not protected during setup, but it is quick. As it is, there is no linkage where the poles cross at the peak – just a regular clip on either side of it, on only one pole. That approach would also increase weatherproofness by increasing stability. This tent would be a touch faster to set up they combined the two poles with a flexible joint. The Suma is very straightforward to set up because it is a simple two-pole dome tent. For the weight, you get a simple dome that will generally perform adequately, particularly for those adventures that don’t ask much of their gear. The stuff sack is cylindrical, so good for quick stuffing. The Suma is a similar weight of the rest of the tents, but when rolled it presents a larger-than-average bundle. It has an average amount of vestibule area but concentrated all up front. At 127 cm at the peak, the Suma 3 boasts the greatest peak height in this test group, but that height comes at a cost – the tall center and creates an exaggerated wind profile. ![]() The simple dome design creates tight corners between the end walls and the floor, making the narrow ends of the floor unusable for anything but small gear storage. But the usable space is much less than that due to the shallow angles of the end walls. ![]() At just over 4 square meters of floor space, the Suma delivers the biggest footprint of any of the six tents we looked at. ![]()
