Review on Eureka! X-Loft Three-Season Camping Tent: Unmatched Performance and Durability by Russ Charmin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lots of nice touches - obviously designed by someone who has been in tents before

There are lots of nice touches in this tent - obviously the designers have stayed in tents before and know the nice little things that make them stand out a great tent a good tent. The tent is really easy to set up - it took me about 15 minutes to set everything up the first time after reading the instructions. I've pitched many tents in my life and this one had some nice features that made it possible to go faster. The poles of the tent connect very easily to the bungee inside, as is the case with most modern tents. The yellow poles are for the sides of the tent and the blue poles are for the top of the tent. Note that you need to secure the bottom of the tent to complete the tension so the tent will hold its shape. Pegs are not only needed to prevent the tent from being blown away by the wind. A raincoat is also useful when tied to something or kept away from the tent with stakes. The tent comes in a nice zipped bag with an adjustable shoulder strap for easy portability. The bag has two main zippered pockets, one for raincoat and pegs (which have their own pocket in the bag) and one for the tent, poles (in their own pocket in the bag) and a hanging pocket for the inner tent. Everything fits perfectly in the tent bag and it was easy to pack everything in after setting up and taking down the tent. I didn't have to redo anything. Assembly instructions are sewn into the tent bag, which is very practical. The rain cover forms a vestibule on each side of the tent where there are doors to keep things dry outside the tent and to make it even easier to protect yourself from the rain inside the tent. The rain cover also has vents that can be closed or opened to let fresh air in while keeping the rain out. Lantern out and lots of bags. There are 6 mesh pockets inside the tent plus a detachable hanging bag which itself has multiple pockets and a floor with a semi-rigid insert to help maintain its shape. A hanging bag hangs on both sides of the tent, allowing the bag to hang at your feet no matter how you tilt your head.
