Eureka Kohana 6 Person Dome Tent Review

The Kohana 6 has two doors and a peak center height of 6' 0, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 122 different 6 person tents we have examined With 83 square feet of space inside, it is a lot smaller than some other 6-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you and, up to five other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents like this one often can make a fantastic choice for people that like spending loads of hours outside the tent exploring.

Many of the great things about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking lightweight, making them easy to carry. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In good weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are the most commonly seen of all the different sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in the rain than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the water pooling on the roof. The most basic dome tent should have a square floor, sloped sides a couple of poles which converge in the center of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is generally considered that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 people.

Down below, you can find an account of the tent's strongest and weakest points.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Kohana can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Eureka has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 150D polyester oxford , which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to tears and punctures. Also, the material has a 2500 mm waterproofing rating, which is very good for most circumstances.
6. Breathable. The Kohana's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the warmer months.
7. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the entire body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 3000mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy rain.
8. Other sizes are available. Eureka has also made this model available in Other Sizes.

CONS

1. Sensitive to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Kohana may not do best in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would want to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not roomy. With a floor area of 83 square feet, the Kohana 6 is smaller than quite a lot of the 130 other 6 person tents we have looked at.
3. Lacking in Headroom. With 9% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some campers.
4. No windows. With no windows it is not simple to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.
5. Only one room. The Kohana is designed for 6 campers, some other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.
6. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 150D polyester oxford but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
7. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have heaps of things to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
