I'm certain north face makes great winter/snow tents, but that isn't what i want. Looking at coleman or eureka tents atm Where is my fizzy-lifting drink?

kelel01 1 #32 June 2, 2005 I think you need to go take a nap. And after looking at the tents, the second one's taller. I think taller is better. Then you don't have to bend over while you're in there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks up the prices for the eureka tents I could use.. the blue mesa one is 300$ on amazon - ~240 after the 60$. ~150 for the smaller one. I could get a coleman tent for free- 60$ with the 60$ off.

I call it my Taj Mahal. It has a screen room big enough for an ice chest and a couple chairs, plus shoe storage "pockets" so you don't have to track mud/dirt inside. Inside, it's plenty tall enough for most people to stand up in. Also, two interior walls can be hung if for some reason privacy was desirable. Doors on every side, "skylights", etc... It's sweet for boogies etc. Wouldn't want to hike with it though...it's freaking heavy and has a pretty big footprint. All in all I'm really happy with mine.

Mine's just for weekends at the dropzone during the skydiving season, so I've gone for convenience over durability. The poles stay attached to the fabric and the whole thing's articulated kind of like an umbrella. So it's quick and easy to put up late at night after beer...

Being the largest tent manufacturer, you'll often find tents under other names were actually of Eureka design and/or manufacture. Equally important, you'll find Eureka tents have the better cost/performance ratio, are cheaper per cubic feet of space, and are lighter then their competitors $ for $.
