Eureka K-2 XT 3 Person Dome Tent Review

The K-2 XT 3 has one window and two doors and a peak center height of 4' 0, which is a little bit less than the average height of the 144 various 3 person tents we have examined With 52 square feet of room inside, it is a tiny bit larger than some other 3-person tents, and it should accommodate you and, up to two other campers during the whole of the 4-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one can make a very good choice for people who welcome spending loads of time outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

A few of the fantastic points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking not too heavy, making them simple to carry. In nearly all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very simple to set up. In calm weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are the most commonly seen of all the other types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the rain to pool on the top. The simplest dome tent should have a rectangular floor, sloped walls two or more poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is generally considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 campers.
