Consumer Feedback: Read Amazon Consumer Reviews on the Eureka Scenic Pass 3XT Tent
Who Would Buy This: Those shopping for a lightweight, dome-style tent for up to 2 campers with gear or up to 3 campers without gear.
Pros:
At just 6 lbs 11 oz, the 3XT Tent is light enough to take on backpacking adventures without straining your back. The light green fabric color is elegant and blends nicely into most camp site scenery.
Quick and easy assembly – Setting up the Scenic Pass 3XT Tent on your own takes just a few minutes. The tent includes DAV Pressfit aluminium poles which are lightweight and durable. The use of tension clips helps make attaching the tent fabric onto the poles very quick.
Inside, the tent has a 48.75 square ft sized floor area with a centre height of 51-inches. It’s rated for 3 people, but we’d recommend only two so there is plenty of space to fit gear.
Two doors and two vestibules on either side of the tent give you good access and storage options. Each vestibule has 13.81 sq feet of storage space, which is ideal for two campers. Additionally, four storage pockets give you plenty of space to store smaller items, plus a gear loft in the centre of the tent which can hold about 10 lbs.
One of the doors has a no-see-um mesh panel which improves air flow for keeping cool. The mesh panel is fully adjustable so you can have as much privacy as you want.
The full-sized rain fly keeps you protected against heavy rains, making this a tent geared for murkier weather. Additionally, the polyester bathtub floor keeps the ground dry and waterproof.
Cons:
One drawback is that this is heavier than many other 3 person backpacking tents so hardcore backpackers may want to opt for a lighter tent.
The centre height of the tent is average so taller campers may find it a little too cramped.
Guarantee: 1-year warranty.
Summary
We were impressed with the Eureka Scenic Pass 3XT Tent. It’s durable, lightweight, very quick to assembly and has very good ventilation. Unless you’re a hardcore backpacker who needs to pack a very lightweight tent, add this to your shortlist of dependable 3 person tents.
