What Is It: A six-person, three-season tent by Eureka!

Why It’s Smart:

• Cabin-style vertical walls make it easy to move around within the tent

• Expands to a large size (100 square feet of floor space), but packs down small (9×26″)

• Has two doors

• E! Media Center holds tablets or smartphones so that you can watch them (hands-free) from your sleeping bag

• At it’s peak, the tent is 6 feet 6 inches—perfect for taller campers

• The six poles are made from sturdy aluminum/steel

• Designed to work with an E!luminate system (sold separately), which are two panels that reflect a lantern’s light to really brighten the tent

• Easy to set up

Where to Buy: Available at REI or on Eureka!’s website.
