I bought this tent for the low weight at the price for backpack hiking with my scouts.
It is light and easy to put up and take down. Also compact for backpacking. It is roomy enough for me at 6', but you cannot sit up in it, though this should not come as a surprise to anyone.
It must be staked down at each end to stand up. The poles hold up the arch only. Usually not a problem, but it is not free standing as a pole tent is.
The poles could be better- they are segments with a steel coupler sleeve that hangs up when you slide it through the sleeve. A smooth pole assembly or external poles with hooks would be better.
The main rain fly is permanently attached at the head end pole, and hooks at the foot end of the tent so that you cannot use the long zipper door in the top when the main rain fly is attached. You will have to crawl in the other door at the head end. If you are not very limber, this may be difficult.
It was dry in a heavy dew/ light drizzle, but have not been in a real rain yet. It is a tub floor design.

I've used this tent at least once a week this summer. The first night it was raining very hard in WV and we had a 20 min window to break camp the tent was so easy to set up I had time to cast out a few times. The tent kept me dry, im 6'4" I had room for my pack and boots. My only problem has been when setting up on soft sand the spikes need some help other then that excellent tent. My next two to three man tent will be a eureka

(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:Â
This is a Three-Season Tent, which is strong enough to handle rain in spring, summer, or fall. For high winds, Eureka recommends a 4-season tent. However, they do recommended using guylines to help stay put.When high winds or a storm are predicted, do not count on staking alone to keep your tent secure. Depending on the model, your tent fly has built-in loops or rings at optimal guyout locations. It is important to put in the extra time guying out your tent. Correctly done, it can save your tent during harsh weather.
1. Attach parachute cord to the loops/rings and stake them in the ground three or four feet from the edge of the tent. If staked too close to the tent, wind can cause an upward pull that could dislodge the stakes.
2. Make sure that the top fly is securely attached to the framework underneath. Ties hook and loop closures, or dog-bones and elastic loops are typical fasteners sewn to the underside of the fly for this purpose.
If your tent does not have loops or rings for guyouts, attach guylines 1/3 or 1/2 of the way up the framework on the main sidewalls. This enables the guyline to support the lower section of the pole, while the upper pole can flex the side of the guyout. This will prevent all movement except toward the anchor. The idea is to get the guylines to work together through opposition.

There are no windows to obscure the view without the rainfly, only bug screen.

Yes, the windows will zip up all the way. If you zoom in on the photo you will be able to see the zippers. However, the windows are mesh. Which you can see thru.Details:Â
