Eureka Jade Canyon 4 Person Dome Tent Review

The Jade Canyon 4 has four windows and one door and a maximum center height of 7' 0, which is 21 inches bigger than the average height of the 140 other 4 person tents we have examined With 64 square feet of space inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, up to three other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents like this one generally make a good choice for people that welcome spending plenty of time outside of their tent exploring.

Many of the cool points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking not too heavy, making them easy to carry around. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In good weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the different sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing rain to roll off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the water pooling on the top of the tent. The simplest dome tent will have a square footprint, slanted walls two or more poles which converge in the center of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is usually considered that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Jade Canyon can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Plenty of Headroom. With 21% more headroom than similar-sized tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Eureka has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your gear.
4. Has awnings. The awnings shelter the sides of the tent.
5. More than one window. With 4 openings it is easier to keep the tent cooler on a hot summers night.
6. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 75D 190T StormShield polyester taffeta, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to tears and punctures. Also, the material has a 2000 mm waterproofing rating, which is pretty good for most circumstances.
7. Breathable. The Jade Canyon's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the summer.
8. Plenty of Positive Reviews The Jade Canyon 4 has Tons of great Reviews
9. Remarkable Ratings The Jade Canyon 4 has some of the best ratings of all the tents on optimumtents.com
10. Available in other sizes. Eureka has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
11. Low price. It is a great deal for a 4 person dome tent providing this much room. Not a lot of tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $349.95

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Jade Canyon may not do well in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would want to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not spacious. With a floor area of 64 square feet, the Jade Canyon 4 is smaller than quite a lot of the 140 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
3. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you will have to store them inside the tent.
4. Rainfly does not wholly cover the tent. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it might not protect against heavy downpours.
5. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 75D 190T StormShield polyester taffeta but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
6. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Jade Canyon 4, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 18 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
7. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many things to rave about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
8. Storage Space. Due to the size of the tent, one cannot store a lot of gear inside..
