Guide Review - Eureka Zeus 4EXO Tent
The Zeus 4EXO is everything the manufacturer claims. I easily set the tent up by myself in under 10 minutes. It uses three poles, two through sleeves, and one that uses carabiner clip attachments. It is quite roomy inside, and the vestibule makes a nice storage area for shoes and packs. There are numerous vents, which created a gentle cross breeze during the night. This is a 3-season, single-wall tent, and it does not have a rainfly. I have not yet used this tent in the rain, so I cannot attest to how well it stays dry. The floor has a seam so I would also recommend using a ground cloth.
