The first night we had a huge thunderstorm and it withstood strong winds and heavy rain without any leaking. We found it easy to set up with very large windows, easy zippers and excellent in the rain and wind. I bought the Eureka Tentragon 9 the summer of 2006 to go camping at the Outer Banks in North Carolina with my daughter. Just don't open the window or door zippers during a heavy storm.ģ0 of 30 people found the following review helpful. Buy this reasonably priced, roomy, features-laden tent and enjoy it as we have.
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 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. I had sealed the fly seams, and the rain didn't penetrate our tent. Here in Florida, that's standard issue for summertime. Our first outing, the overnight thunderstorm and winds were epic in their proportions: 2 inches of rain blew through the forest within 3 hrs. I shopped for months before I bought this tent, and I have few regrets.
