Eureka X-loft 3 Person Dome Tent Review

The X-loft 3 has two doors and a maximum center height of 4' 2, which is a little bit smaller than the average height of the 144 other 3 person tents we have studied. With 44 square feet of room inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 3-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to two other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents like this one often can make a fantastic choice for people who appreciate spending heaps of hours outside the tent exploring.

Many of the fantastic points about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances light, making them easy to carry around. In most all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, 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 sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in storms than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the top of the tent. The most basic dome tent should have a rectangular floor, slanted walls two or more poles which cross in the center of the roof. Because of their construction, it is usually considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.

Beneath you can see a list of the tent's pros and cons.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The X-loft can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Has Gear Loft. It is good to see Eureka adding a gear loft in the interior to store some of your things.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is simpler 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 70D 190T Nylon taffeta, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to rips and punctures. Also, the material has a 2000 mm waterproofing rating, which is very good for most circumstances.

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 44 square feet, the X-loft 3 is smaller than quite a few of the 144 other 3 person tents we have looked at.
2. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 70D 190T Nylon taffeta but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
3. A tad heavy for backpacking. Even though the X-loft 3, looks like a small tent, it is not ideal for backpacking as it weighs 7 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
