Eureka - Summer Pass 3

We have the Summer pass 3 and use it about 30 nights a year, and just finished our 4th year with it. It's a great tent for its price point. We've slept through many wet and stormy nights with no leaking or getting wet inside the tent. Eureka is a really solid brand. They have great products for reasonable prices. We really like the space inside the tent and vestibules. Most of our trips are paddling trips, so weight isn't quite as important as if you're backpacking, and I know there's lighter (and more expensive tents) on the market, but yeah, we've been extremely happy with the purchase and after 100+ nights in the backcountry it's still not showing any signs of wear. There's also a good amount of pockets and storage options inside the tent which is super hand too.

Canadian here and very familiar with these. The Summer Pass is a good tent. It's the warm-weather version of their Mountain Pass, which is a great budget tent for light winter conditions. The hub design at the top makes it very sturdy and it stands up to wind etc. very well, probably better than a cross-pole design, though to be honest most campers will never end up camping in wind so strong that it would be a problem for a properly pitched cross pole tent. Lots of mesh so it ventilates well in humid weather, which is a consideration in many places. They're not really a light enough tent for backpacking, though they're not egregiously large either - but for canoe or car camping you'd do fine. The Eureka brand is ceasing operations, that's why you're seeing such low prices. Their parent company is still operating, so warranty will still exist, but any warranty claims won't be dealt with in the same way as they used to be, though they'll still be dealt with. Replacement parts will be limited. That would be my only hesitation with buying one of these right now, though honestly if you treat your tent right, the chances of you needing to make a warranty claim are slim. That said, I just bought a Eureka tent this past fall because they're great for the price and I wanted one before they disappeared. I know people that bought two of the same tent at a heavy discount so they'd always have parts. Hope that helps.
