Eureka K-2 XT Tent 3-Person 4-Season
Start your alpine assault from the Eureka's K-2 XT. Wait out the storm with your climbing partner, or play some poker with two buddies while you all acclimatize to the altitude. This self-supporting tent is among the roomiest and most popular in Eureka's four-season category. Zippered high/low tent vents and scoop vents in the fly, accessible through zippers in the tent roof, make The K-2 XT a comfortable tent for year-round use. Post and grommet corner attachments, clips, continuous mesh rod sleeves, and an external vestibule hoop simplify set up. Eureka gave the K-2 XT a 14-pocket organizer wall, four gear loft loops, and one flashlight loop.
Bottom Line: The Eureka K-2 XT Tent is your shelter from the storm—base camp or trailside.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Cold or hot. Rain or snow. This one has you covered. With the ample mesh vents and doors you can let the breeze, views and stars all come rolling in. Seal out the elements when needs be. The fly is super strong and has tons of attachment loops as well as guy out lines/attachments. Only draw back is the weight. However you're certainly getting a lot if you buy this tent. Great buy for sure.
What kind of maintenance is required for this tent? Also, I live
What kind of maintenance is required for this tent? Also, I live in a VERY dry area. We average under 10%humity for most of the year, but most of my camping is in northern New Mexico and Colorado. Should I be concerned taking the tent through extreme changes in humidity and climate? I'm concerned about mold damage and other similar issues.

West face of the Whetstone mountains, at 6022' elevation. Again, the days are warm, but the nights are cool. Mid 50's. A great tent, many venting options, and where I am you need that. Lots of storage pockets, 22 in all and plenty of room for two people plus gear. Easy set up for one person. The downside, rather heavy at almost 12 lbs. but worth the extra weight if you want a little extra room.

We spent a week in this tent on Kilimanjaro. We were very warm in sometimes freezing temperatures. The octagonal shape allowed for lots of room for gear on the sides. The organisers on the walls are awesome; we never lost the toilet paper or torch. The front vestibule was ample room for cooking. We came home and bought one of our own, our second Eureka tent. Love them!

the eureka one is only three men and it has almost the same pole design. the msr one has 2 doors and the eureka has only 1 door and 1 vestibules, the eureka one has a window which is very nice to look threw when it is snowing and raining. the eureka tent has been used on mt. everestThe MSR Stormking is a five person tent, weighs 2 pounds more, & is $400 more expensive. The decision is all yours!(The comment about the doors and the vestibule is incorrect in this answer. The K2-xt has 2 doors and 2 vestibules - a large hooped one in the front, and a stake out one in the back. The doors are both the same - in fact, the tent body is symmetrical, the fly can be rotated 180.)The K2-XT has two doors and two vestibules actually. The larger one is pictured, the smaller is perfect for boots and like items.

10:00 and still waiting for it to cool down. Its late September and still 100 plus degrees during the day and high 70's at night. With all the venting options in the K-2 the nights were tolerable.

You'll have to have one specially made. This tent is expedition specific & only comes with the fly as shown above.

Underrated tent
By: Mike (las Vegas)
June 9, 2008
I had a north face talus which I thought was a pretty decent tent until I got this one. Wow do I love this tent. The set up is pretty quick especially if you don't use the fly...which you can easily do in this tent. The fly secures in so many places you don't get so much as a ripple in high winds. There are lots of mesh openings you can access but should nasty weather come in you can zip them up if you are not using the fly and be completely safe from the elements. About the only gripe with this tent is that it is not super light at all...but the design is so good and the construction excellent, you can leave the fly at home and lighten you load by the weight of that plus one of the poles that gives the fly its shape and a few stakes. Now you are not in ultra light territory but maybe 6-6 1/2 lbs which is workable for a tent this strong. Only tent you will ever need!
Eureka K2-XT

I have to say I was very impressed with my new K-2 XT tent. It had some features I didn't expect to see in a tent of this type. The extra vents and pouchs internally were a nice touch. The tent held up very well against the elements and the rain, but only issue that we had was with the condensation inside the next morning. We opened as many vents as possible to bleed out any moisture but we still ended up with a little dampness. Overall a great buy and a tent to look forward to using it again.
Change me.
