Comments about Eureka Apex 2 XT - Tent: This is a great little tent! Just took it out on a three day trip and it performed great! It was very windy but it held up well. It is easy to put together and to take down. All zippers worked well; no issue with them snagging on the tent fabric. The vestibules are awesome! I love being able to have my gear close by and keep it out of the rain or keep dew off my pack. I even liked the burnt orange color. I was afraid it was going to be like the gold color used in the 1970s, the kind of gold that makes you go "yuck"! But it is a nice, warm color. For the money this is a great tent. I would be willing to pay a little more if it came with aluminum poles instead of the fiberglass. It was all the other positive comments about this tent on this Campmor website that really sold me on it. The comments are very helpful.

Comments about Eureka Apex 2 XT - Tent: I've used this tent to backpack all over, from the Rockies to the Applalachain trail, and have accumulated weeks of nights in it. It is very large for a two person tent, and well built. For the price, you can't beat it. I've never had an issue with it leaking in the rain. Simple to setup and take down, packs away easy. If you are a Boy scout going to Philmount, you can't beat this tent - mine has seen two treks to Philmount and is still in perfect shape.

Comments about Eureka Apex 2 XT - Tent: I have had this tent for about six months and have used it in temps from 35ºF to 110ºF. It has held up to being strapped to my motorcycle in all kinds of crazy ways, set up in sand, rocks, dirt, over sticks, under trees dropping all kinds of gunk and bugs... still looks brand new.

Comments about Eureka Apex 2 XT - Tent: This is a great tent! It is super easy to get setup. The only complaint I have is with the fly. I am a tall guy and the flaps on both sides don't open very wide at the tops, which makes it a little difficult to get in. Don't get me wrong, as I like the general design of things and the vestibule on either side of the tent is nice. Other than that, no complaints at all about this tent!

Comments about Eureka Apex 2 XT - Tent: Used tent on 4 day kayak camping trip to Georgian Bay Ontario. Weight not issue when paddling. Packs small and setting very simple. By myself so plenty of room in 2 XT. Ventilation great. Great value for the price seems very well made.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Images shared by Mark Setup on Georgian Bay  (1 of 1 customers found this review helpful) Was this review helpful? Yes / No - You may also flag this review Pros

Comments about Eureka Apex 2 XT - Tent: This is a great 2 person tent. It's very roomy and very comfortable. There are plenty of places in the vestibules to shelter your gear from the elements. The only negative I can say is the heavy weight, which is mostly carried by the fiberglass poles. A set of equivalent aluminum poles will convert this tent from an great car camping tent into an awesome backpacking tent.

Comments about Eureka Apex 2 XT - Tent: I really love this tent. Easy set up and plenty of room. It's turning out to be one the best tents I've ever had for two people. I use it exclusively for my wife and I when we go on weekend trips. Set up consists of a few clips, two tent poles, and about 2 minutes. We're both about 5'10", and there is plenty of room for the two of us. Adding in packs/gear can get a little crowded.

Comments about Eureka Apex 2 XT - Tent: Although I didn't purchase this tent from Campmor (I found it essentially unused on [@]), I'm a frequent Campmor shopper and wanted to add my $0.02 to the reviews for this item.The Apex 2 XT is a excellent design for an inexpensive two-person backpacking tent. Perhaps just a tad heavy for a long hike, this tent is an excellent bargain, nonetheless. The way the rain fly and vestibules work together is simply brilliant. The inside of the tent is fairly large for a small two-person tent. My twelve year-old son and I are able to get some gear inside as well as stash quite a bit under the vestibules on either side of the tent.Dual exits mean that no one has to climb over anyone to get up in the middle of the night or early in the morning.What an absolutely brilliant low-cost tent!

Q:
The specs here say the Apex 2XT is 7'6" long. After viewing some review videos, I came across a review from a gentlemen my same height (6'4"). He said he barely fit and showed his feet touching the wall of the tent while he was laying in it. Are the specs posted here (7'6" long) correct?Asked on 2/21/2012 by Kainius from Kingston, NY2 answers
A:
A measure of the interior length of the Apex 2XT is 7'Answered on 2/23/2012 by Steve from CampmorA:
The 7'6' measure is the actually floor measure but since the walls of the tent are slanted, teh head space may seem smaller than the stated floor measurement.Answered on 2/23/2012 by Betty
