Eureka Apex Tent Review - Eureka Apex 2XT Camping Tent

The Eureka apex tent has reviewers differing in opinions although the Apex including the Eureka Apex 2XT, 3 season camping tent, rates as an affordable option.

For more than a 100 years Eureka has been making products that are designed for people spending nights out of doors to do so in comfort and convenience.

The Eureka Apex 2 tent and the Apex 2xt are just part of the wide variety of tents this company offers to meet all your camping needs.

Features of The Eureka Apex 2xt

The Eureka apex 2 xt tent is a 2 person 3 season tent. The two most noticeable features of the Eureka apex 2xt are the two doors with no see-um-mesh for ventilation and the two enclosed vestibules for storage.

• 2 pole rectangular dome construction
• 13.4 square feet vestibules (combined)
• shock corded freestanding fiber glass frame assembly
• 2 side opening doors
• poke out vent in sidewall, 2 interior storage pockets
• flashlight loop

Like most Eureka tents the Eureka apex tent is well designed and constructed and holds up well in windy conditions.

It has many good points that makes the Eureka Apex 2XT Adventure 7' 5" by 4' 11" Two-Person Tent appealing but, also has a couple of not so good points that may be of major concern.

1. The Apex 2xt has good ventilation
2. Quick and easy to set up
3. The zippers open and close smoothly with no sticking
4. The vestibules are nice for storing shoes and other must keep dry items
5. spacious
6. Great price

1. The stakes that come with the Eureka Apex are too short to make them useful in pitching this tent in sandy soil
2. The vestibule zipper is somewhat inconvenient
3. The tent has a tendency to leak

What Customer's Have To Say About the Apex 2xt

Customer reviews for the Eureka apex tent are all over the board. While almost all those who wrote reviews like the fact that this tent had plenty of space and was easy to set up, there were vastly differing opinions beyond this point.

While some users found this tent to be great and wrote rave reviews about how fantastic it was, other reviews pointed to a fatal flaw in the tent, it leaks.

This seems to be a reoccurring flaw in some Eureka tents and one the company needs to address since correcting this flaw will make their product one of best reasonably priced tents on the market.

• "This tent is exceptional in every way.'
• "sucks, it leaks like crazy"
• "Bit on the heavy side for backpacking but great in every way."
• "Altogether though I am very pleased and satisfied with this tent."
• "Had back spasms for laying in a wet sleeping bag on the wet floor."

Conclusion

Eureka tents are well designed and for the most part well constructed. The Eureka Apex 2XT Adventure 7' 5" by 4' 11" Two-Person Tent is no exception for the cost.

These tents are well ventilated, easy to set up and more than reasonably priced which when all things are considered should make these tents some of the best tents on the market.

You may want to compare the Eureka Adventure Apex 2FG 7-Foot by 5-Foot 2-Person Tent that has different features and costs less.

However, as most avid campers know the success or failure of any camping trip depends a great deal on your shelters ability to protect you from the elements.

The Eureka Apex 2xt lacks the ability to provide a leak proof shelter even in gentle rainy conditions. For this reason giving this tent a whole hearted recommendation is impossible.
