Leave the rain fly off the Eureka Pinnacle Pass 2XTA Tent at the height of summer so you can enjoy the cool breeze through the two large no-see-um mesh doors. In fall and spring (or anytime the clouds look heavy) attach the fly to block the wind and keep you dry. The vestibules let you store your muddy boots and extra gear outside the tent so you won't wake up cuddled next to your muddy gear. The three-season Pinnacle Pass 2XTA packs down small for transport in your backpack, kayak, or bike panniers.
Bottom Line: GThe Eureka Pinnacle Pass 2XTA offer sturdy, reliable protection during three seasons of camping.
For the price this tent is absolutely everything I wanted. It is light, and I use it for backpacking all the time. I love the rainfly, and it is very waterproof! It is also very easy to put together on your own.
I have an older model of this tent -- has sleeves instead of clips and the doors aren't mesh. It's done fine in sub-freezing temps -- Minnesota/North Dakota. Condensation will collect if you have the fly closed up for the night but it hasn't ever been enough to drip through the mesh. It saved me one time when a microburst came through early in the morning and tore a huge branch off of a tree overhead. It bent up the poles and tore some holes in the fly. It would have kept me dry except that the walls were collapsed because of the weight. I patched it up and re-shaped the poles and still use it. A normal 5x8 ft. tarp/ground cloth fits it fine (excluding the area under the vestibules). Just keep the edges of the tarp under the tent or rain will drain off and pool in between the tarp and tent floor. You'll still be dry, but you'll be laying on puddles of water.
look for seira antres tent three person so its comfortable for 2 might have to look on e-bay or find store that has new old stock but this is a great tent.Here's my suggestion. I love to two doors for easy access:http://www.backcountry.com/store/BAG0060/Big-Agnes-Emerald-Mountain-SL2-Super-Light-Tent-2-Person-3-Season.html
I LOVE it i got it in 2005 and use mothly.I'm in BSA and use it for every thing and its a great back packing tent i have a friend that took it on a 120 mile trip and he loved it too. Its great for all types of weather. the only problem I've had is it got a snall tear in the mesh. I love the eureka brand and will buy a other! A++++++
bc.com has quite a few to choose from. I'm partial to Big Agnes & Sierra Designs but here's quite a selection:http://www.backcountry.com/store/group/89/3-Season-Tents.html
this is a really good tent. it is super light, and very durable. love the 3 mesh walls -- lets you sleep under the stars, while keeping away from mosquitoes.
Does anyone know how the Eureka Pinnacle Pass 2XTA compares to the North Face Rock 22? They seem very similar in price, design and weight. Just trying to make a final decision between the two. - Thanks
Go with the North Face. I personally feel they have a better quality product. I've had two TNF tents for years & they still look brand new even after much usage.
The actual weight of this tent by my digital scale is 5Lbs 9oz (in its stuff sack).... therefore, I would say it's at the upper weight range of what anyone would want to pack (thus the 4 star rating). The quality and attention to detail of this tent is excellent. I really like the TWO doors and vestibules! Because of this, its footprint is large which in certain conditions can lead to placement problems. The only thing that I would change about this tent is the placement of the two internal pockets. Eureka, please move them to the side walls.... not at your head (or feet).
Tyvek works fine... I have a Tyvek footprint I made that fits exactly. Very durable. No sewing required, Tyvek does not ravel and needle track becomes a preforation to tear. Tyvek is extremely stiff when new, you will need to crumple, and crumple, and crumple to soften, otherwise the noise of the material will drive you insane. Did not need to wash it as some suggest, there is disagreement on wether that would hamper the water resistancy.
I have been doing some research on this tent and I have yet to find a true footprint, however Eureka makes what they call a floor saver. http://www.eurekatent.com/p-105-floor-saver-rectangular-small.aspx. I have seen them for as little as $8 online. Just a couple of things to note versus a footprint. 1. It doesn't have grommets or loops to stake it down. 2. The material is 6mm polyethylene versus polyurethane-coated nylon like most footprints. I'm not an expert on the material, but from what I've read the PU coated nylon is stronger. I am buying the 2XTA, but I will probably look around for a similar sized footprint from one of the high end tent makers. Just a final note: I have read some posts of guys using Tyvek to make their own footprint. You would have to be pretty handy at sewing to finish off the edges and add the tie downs though. I'll let you know if I find anything that works.This "floor saver" will work just fine for your needs:http://www.eurekatent.com/p-105-floor-saver-rectangular-small.aspx
This tent this awesome and light perfect for spring, summer and fall camping, light weight perfect for backpacking. Vestibules are the best feature of this tent.
The Eureka Pinnacle Pass 2XTA is awesome for what it is, a simple lightweight two person tent. Two large doors with decent sized vestibules, good interior space. Sleeps two quite well and weighs in under 5lbs
