The time has come for me to upgrade to the tent I’ve been trying to chase down for the past year. I originally had a Hilleberg Nallo GT 4, which was spacious, 4 season ready, but far too much for me to use solo as plans have changed drastically on riding companions, and for the best. I’ve been searching for a Nallo GT 2 ever since and it’s waiting for me at my next rest stop. I bought this Eureka tent for Phase 2 down to Mexico, as it’s lightweight, easy to setup, and durable, based on multiple reviews that I found on the internet.
It’s been used about 45 days in the field, with no damage, I’ve since lost all the crappy pegs it comes with and replaced with proper aluminum ones, and I’ve freshly sealed all the seams. It allows enough room for me to stuff my Exped SynMat mattress inside of it, and still have my front panniers, handlebar bag in, and the remaining bags under the fly.
Here’s the specs:
- Simple two pole tunnel design sets up in seconds.
- Interior mesh panels and High/Low venting ensure all weather comfort.
- Full coverage fly with vestibule storage space, a real bonus in an ultralight tent.
- Lightweight aluminum frames.
- Armatech polyester fly fabric for improved durability from damaging UV rays.
- FLY: 75D polyester 1500mm coating
- FLOOR: 70D nylon with 1500mm coating
- FRAME: 9 mm aluminum
- Taped seams
- Weight: 2.12lbs minimum 3.5lbs maximum (thats with all the components)
I’ve never used a groundsheet so its got a bit of stain from the dirt but whatever. If I don’t sell it I’m considering using it without the fly for tropical climates as its nice and compact and airy.
I’d like to get $80 for it. It’s a wonderful tent for backpacking, cycling, or solo camping. It can put up with some of the most blustery conditions as written about earlier on in this trip. Contact me if interested.
