Eureka X-loft 4 Person Dome Tent Review

The X-loft 4 has two doors and a peak center height of 5' 0, which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 140 various 4 person tents we have studied. With 64 square feet of space inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to three other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one can make an ideal choice for campers who prefer spending loads of time outside their tent getting some air.

Some of the great points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part light, making them easy to carry around. In nearly all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In calm weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most commonly seen of all the various types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the water to pool on the top of the tent. The most basic dome tent should have a rectangular floor, sloped sides two or more poles which cross in the center of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is usually considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

Below you can find 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. Affords you somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Has Gear Loft. It is nice 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 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 70D 190T Nylon taffeta, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to tears and punctures. Also, the material has a 2000 mm waterproofing rating, which is very good for most circumstances.
6. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the whole body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1800mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy downpours.
7. Fantastic Ratings The X-loft 4 has some of the best ratings of all the tents on optimumtents.com
8. Other sizes are available. Eureka has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
9. Low price. It is a great buy for a 4 person dome tent providing this much space. Not a lot of tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $399.95

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 64 square feet, the X-loft 4 is smaller than quite a lot of the 140 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
2. No windows. With no windows it is not simple to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
3. 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, more so on rough terrain.
4. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures site the last time we checked.
5. A tad heavy for backpacking. Even though the X-loft 4, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 10 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
6. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have heaps of qualities to be positive about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
