Eureka Pinnacle Pass 3XTA 3-Person 3-Season

by Eureka

Product Description

Divide the Eureka Pinnacle Pass 3XTA 3-person 3-season tent between three hikers for backpacking, or use it car camping so you and another person can stretch out. Eureka's clip and sleeve design makes for a quick setup. Two large mesh drop-doors make for easy entries and exits without stepping on your partners or their gear. Plus they keep the Pinnacle Pass 3XTA well ventilated, so you don't get any condensation. The vestibules let you store your muddy boots and extra dirty stuff outside the tent, so you won't have to wake up to waterlogged gear. If you're traveling with your dog but can't handle him in the tent, he'll stay nice and dry under the vestibule.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Tent For The Money, November 3, 2006

Easy set up and great performance. We stayed nice and warm in this tent. I thought it would be an issue because of all of the mesh fabric. We always hated being showered in dew in the morning because of condensation, but this tent is so well ventilated that it doesn't become an issue. If you have always purchased cheap tents like us in the past, you will love this tent. The floor of this tent is not like others though - it is the same thin material used on the sidewalls - they do this to conserve on weight if you want to go backpacking. You will need a good tarp under it. Eureka tents are finally affordable - you will not be disappointed with this model.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good price for a good tent, March 19, 2008

Pros: Roomy enough for two + gear. Me=6'0" Her=5'2" Like other Eureka tents, very intuitive, easy quick set-up. I hook a Coleman Zephyr LED tent fan/light ($20 at Chinamart) on the ceiling loop. This was a godsend on warm nights (see ventilation comment below). Decent price $160. This tent has seen a good dose of rain and it is watertight. I did seal the factory sealed seams with Kenyon Seam Sealer 3. Wind is also not an issue. I have great confidence in the strength of the aluminum frame.

Cons: Plastic tent stakes...boo! I use MSR Groundhogs-excellent in the hardest ground.MSR Groundhog Stake (Each) Model 312054
Unzipping the fly is a loooonnnng reach even for me (6'0"). Zipper is at the far corner of the vestibule and dew/rain on the fly will get you wet if not careful. Ventilation is inadequate in hot/muggy weather. In warm weather you may want to leave the fly unzipped on BOTH vestibules. The one vent doesn't seem to do much.

I considered the Eureka Pinnacle Pass 2A but I wanted the vestibules for more elbow room inside. Given the lack of ventilation with the 3XTA, I would give serious consideration to the 2A again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but would try another Eureka, October 6, 2008

I bought the 3XTA after having the Eureka Timberline2 for many years. I wanted something bigger than a 2 man and this does the trick. It is great for 2 people but 3 would be cramped if you start bringing in your packs.
Pros - Easy to set up and light weight. No problems for one person to set up and move around before putting the stakes down.
The mesh is really tight and if noseeums are a problem for you, this will stop them.
Having a door on each side allows each person to get in and out without bothering the other.

Cons - Be careful when setting up as the side with the little triangle window (the "!" logo) really needs to be facing towards the lowest grade of incline. We were almost flat but still had the window at the highest grade. It rained the 2nd night and although no rain got in, the rain slides right down the fly and over the window. This then leads to rain running under your tent instead of the ground tarp. Tent was wet between ground tarp but bone dry between ground and tarp. Glad I sealed everything even after factory tape seal.
Also, I miss being able to open a window without having the world look in. If the fly is open (for a breeze) you have no protection from people looking in. And it is either all or nothing to have it open.
Lastly, the fly zipper is really long. To get out, you have to reach all the way across the open ground to grab it. Tough if it rains and there is mud right outside your door. As soon as you open the fly, you will get rain coming into your tent through the mesh. Since the zipper head is at the ground level, it gets mud and dirt on it so it makes it tough to zip up or down.

Overall, I would probably not buy this again. At least not for my purposes. I'll probably buy a 4 season tent and use this as a back up or for the kids. At least the price was really good. Glad I only spent $161 on it.
