About Eureka
Though the exact year is unknown, Eureka's long history begins prior to 1895 in Binghamton, New York, where the company still resides today. Then known as the Eureka Tent & Awning Company, its first wares were canvas products--most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for nineteenth century American frontiersmen--as well as American flags, store awnings, and camping tents.

The company increased production of its custom canvas products locally throughout the 1930s, and in the 1940s, with the advent of World War II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide. Ultimately, upon the post-war return of the GIs and the resultant housing shortage, Eureka turned its attention to the home front during the 1950s by supplying awnings for the multitude of mobile homes that were purchased.

In 1960, Eureka's new and innovative Draw-Tite tent, with its practical, free standing external frame, was used in a Himalayan Expedition to Nepal by world renowned Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person documented to summit Mt. Everest only six years earlier. In 1963, Eureka made history during its own Mt. Everest ascent, with more than 60 of its tents sheltering participants from fierce 60+ mph winds and temperatures reaching below -20°F during the first all American Mt. Everest Expedition.

For backpackers and families, Eureka introduced its legendary Timberline tent in the 1970s. Truly the first StormShield design, this completely self-supporting and lightweight backpacking tent became one of the most popular tents the entire industry. Eureka tents have also traveled as part of several historic expeditions, including the American Women's Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I in 1978 and the first Mt. Everest ascents by a Canadian and American woman in 1986 and 1988. In recent history, tents specially designed and donated by Eureka sheltered Eric Simonson and his team on two historic research expeditions to Mount Everest, this time in a quest for truth regarding the 1924 attempted summit of early English explorers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Tent--with One Caveat November 16, 2006
I shopped for months before I bought this tent, and I have few regrets. Our first outing, the overnight thunderstorm and winds were epic in their proportions: 2 inches of rain blew through the forest within 3 hrs. Here in Florida, that's standard issue for summertime. I had sealed the fly seams, and the rain didn't penetrate our tent. But we weren't entirely dry, and here's the "caveat:" Eureka says you can "leave the window and door open" during rain because of the door/window "hooded fly." Don't do it if the rain is blowing because it will blow *under* the hood, through the no-see-um mesh, and dampen your sleeping bag.

Don't get me wrong: The rain penetration was not due to any manufacturer's defect; on the contrary--I opened the door and window zippers just a little for ventilation (it was 80 degrees during the storm). But I paid the price.

Buy this reasonably priced, roomy, features-laden tent and enjoy it as we have. Just don't open the window or door zippers during a heavy storm.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tent in heavy rain August 27, 2006
I bought the Eureka Tentragon 9 the summer of 2006 to go camping at the Outer Banks in North Carolina with my daughter. We found it easy to set up with very large windows, easy zippers and excellent in the rain and wind. The first night we had a huge thunderstorm and it withstood strong winds and heavy rain without any leaking. I have had many tents in the past and found this one "the best". Even my daughter mentioned how great this tent was. I would highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tent so far! August 23, 2006
In the three weeks I've owned this tent, I have tested it three nights, once under heavy rain, and it did not leak. I like the high quality of the tent as well. Seems like a good balance of features and cost.

Because the poles are so long, it is tricky (but not impossible) to set up without help. However, with two people, it was a snap. I doubt anyone's going to go camping alone in a 9 x 9 tent anyway!
