The freestanding, four-season Eureka High Camp tent provides high camp comfort for two in Everest-like conditions. Designed and tested by renowned expeditionist Eric Simonson of International Mountain Guides, the five-pole rectangular dome tent is distinguished by such features as a narrow footprint that's ideal for high-altitude use, a 43.27-square-foot area that sleeps two comfortably, and Eureka's tough StormShield technology, which combines breathable, moisture-repelling materials with a tough, reinforced construction that resists wear and tear.
The rectangular dome tent includes a full-coverage fly. As a result, the tent is a terrific choice for both long mountain expeditions and quick ascents of your nearest mountain range.
The High Camp is built with a pair of twin-track, side-opening doors that feature high/low venting for ample airflow to the interior. The tent's venting system also includes both a bottom venting vestibule and top roof vents, helping ensure that the interior doesn't turn musty and stale overnight. The tent's pair of vestibules, meanwhile, includes a fly rod that creates enough headspace to ensure a dry tent entry and room for plenty of gear. And expeditionists will appreciate the clear view window in the front vestibule, which gives them a look outside while lightening up the tent interior.
Finally, the High Camp sets up easily, with a shock-corded, freestanding frame made of 9 and 9.5mm DAC aluminum with a post-and-grommet assembly. Other features include a full-coverage fly, 12 interior pockets for keeping essentials close at hand, four gear loft loops, and a flashlight loop. All Eureka tents carry a lifetime warranty.
The 43.27-square-foot floorplan sleeps two comfortably and stands 3 feet 8 inches tall. Specifications

Although the exact year is unknown, Eureka's long history begins prior to 1895 in Binghamton, NY, where the company still resides today. Then known as the Eureka Tent & Awning Company, its first wares were canvas products--most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for 19th-century American frontiersmen--as well as American flags, store awnings, and camping tents.
The company increased production of its custom canvas products locally throughout the 1930s and early 1940s. The company even fabricated and erected a series of IBM "tent cities" just outside Binghamton, housing thousands of IBM salesmen during the company's annual stockholders meeting, which had outgrown its previous locale. With the advent of World War II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide. Ultimately, upon the post-war return of
