Eureka - El Capitan 3+ Outfitter

I didn’t know tents still came with fibreglass poles, I haven’t had one with them since the 80s. The three I’ve bought since then (North Face, MEC, Eureka) have all been aluminum. You could probably just replace the poles of your current tent if you like the tent enough.

>El Capitan 3 Hands down, the best all-around quality tent I've ever had in my life, and it works in pretty much all weather and temps. I've had it a decade now, regular use, and *not a single fucking problem with it*. Broke my heart when I heard Eureka! was closing shop, but managed to buy myself a little 1-man Solitaire AL at a steal of a price.

For 2 seasons and then it leaks like a seive I'm gonna go Eureka El Capitan, outfitter series, never failed me yet, been immersed in a puddle

I'd just put a tarp overhead. Alternatively, I've been in ridiculous thunderstorms for days in my Eureka El Capitan and my MSR Habiscape and never a drop inside.

I have owned several Eurekas over the years. I still have all of them except my first 3 man, which i gave to my sister(she is still using it, its probably 20 years old, if not more). They get my vote for price and quality. To be fair, i haven't used many other tents because i haven't had to. I currently have a lightweight 2 person, apex 3 person, a 3 person with a large vestibule and now a 6 person as my family has grown.

Eureka El Capitan is a great tried and true canoe camping tent. It’s packs nice and small although it’s a bit tight to get into the bag. For 3 people you’d want the “4man” size.

Cool. I mentioned as OP said he plans to camp in a very wet area. I love my Eureka El Capitan 3 as it allows you zip and unzip panels to choose how much mesh is exposed.

They have different levels of tents. Make sure you get one with aluminum poles and a fly that goes all the way to the ground. I have an El Capitan 3 and love it.
