tent : his shopping guide is made for the Eureka Apex 2XT, some reviews seem to mistake which tent is being discussed. The 2XT features a full rain fly with vestibules that are enclosed. The Apex 2 has a half rain fly and open vestibules.
I had read quite some of the reviews for this tent, here and in other areas, and thought I understood (and could live with) many of the drawbacks, but in use I could not.
The positives:
It is a very easy to setup tent, it really only takes some minutes. Assemble the two poles, place one end of each into a pocket on the tent, insert a pin from an opposing corner into the other end of the pole, then fasten the center point of the tent to the two poles (a loop of material and a dogbone shaped piece of plastic accomplishes this) and finish by attaching the clips from the edges of the tent to the poles. Beautiful.
