Eureka dome tents are designed to handle the wind.That's why their shape is a dome,instead of 4 walls.We all know how the wind loves to hit a surface,so it can push what's ever against it.
There are alot of different Eureaka models of their dome tents.Some small,and some very large for families,and groups.
The great thing about all their dome tents is they keep the rain out.These are far the best,the best waterproof tents on the market,and the tents breath.A tent that don't breath gets wet even without the rain.Condensation from breathing can soak a tent in itself during the night,when it's cooler outside,and warmer inside.A person's breath has mositure,and it catches in the tent fabric,and thus over a period of a few hours,it can start raining in your tent.
The dome tents are great breathers.They come with a rain fly,that pretty much covers the whole tent.If I'm sure the wether is going to be friendly during the night,I use the rain fly only as needed.I like a tent that breaths to a good degree.
Plus,if it's warmer weather I keep the rain fly off.Tents can hold heat,and especially hold heat if it's a calm night with no breeze.
But,if it's a cool night with a breeze..I use the rainfly then.Once you get familiar with your dome tent,you'll know how you want to use it,in regards with the weather.
So if you're looking for a shelter that is really universal to handle all the various weather eleiments,go with the Eureka Dome Tents.You won't be sorry you did!!

Old Eureka Tents
I have an old Eureka tent I'd like to discuss.
Do any of you,or have any of your ever used the older Eureka Equinox?
The brand I'm talking about is the "storm shield".At least I think that's what it was called.
I've had this tent for 20 years,and will have it for the rest of my life.This is why I'm stuck on Eureka's.Their tents are just the best,and if you take care of them they really do last a life time.
If there are any of you who'd like to contribute your thoughts on some of the old ereka tents that are still being used today,I'd sure like to here from you.I know many of us still using alot of these older models.I think it would be interesting to hear from some of you,and get your positive feedback.
The only wear & tear on my tent is from abuse from my end.Little accidents happen,and I've stitched a hole from a tree branch,due to my not paying attention.Other than that,beyond a doubt I still have many,many years use out of mine.
I don't use it as much as when I was younger,but I still use it a few times a year.

What's a good camping tent?
If you're wonder what's a good camping tent out there on the market,you can't get any better of a shelter than a good Eureka Tent.
They've been around for how many years now?
It's really not how long they've been around that makes their tents good.It comes down to the tent itself.It's the best tent with the best bang for your money.
If you want to get rained out,they buy a cheap tent.
Why do tents leak,when others do not?
It's the stitching in most cases,and then the fabric used also that can determine if a tent will leak.Usually even a cheap tent with a rain fly,most the time keeps it out.That's if you just get a light drizzle for an hour,but throw in a steady rain,or worse yet a thunderstorm?..A cheap tent will leak.The seams just soak in that water,because of cheap stitching
You get what you pay for.So asking yourself what is a good camping tent to buy that won't leak?
Go with a Eureka.The stitching is the best,and using it properly is a for sure way to keep the rain out where it belongs.Not inside the tent.
Spend the extra 50 -100 bucks and have a tent that lasts a lifetime,and keeps the rain out.
They also have the best warranty.
I see these cheap tents,and it's like these people have no clue what's in store for them if it rains.Yea,it might keep the bugs out,but that's all it's going to keep out.
They have such a large variety to choose from.From ultra light back packing tents,to large family sized tents that have enough room for an army.We all have our own idea what camping is,and Eureka covers all the ground from no matter what kind of camping you're doing.
In my opinion,being that I'm an older fart now,and have learned from 100's of trips out under the stars,that a tent with a little extra room is a must,even for you young folks.A tent is also used as a storage area for our cloths,and items that we really want to keep out of the rain,or the weather.Even the sun for that matter can wear things out.
I know we try to go as perfect as we can when heading out into the bush,but one luxory is your shelter,and don't hold back on that.Having a castle out there in the woods makes a trip so much better.Who wants to sleep ina coffin sized tent?It gets hot,no room to move around,and what if you have gear you want to stay dry?
It's easier bringing it in the tent,instead of bringing a tarp with to make a supply shelter.Just go with a tad larger sized tent.You won't be sorry you did.
Eureka are the best camping tents in the world,and the best bamg for your buck.
