Home  » About Eureka!




Eureka! has been manufacturing quality tents since 1895; becoming known over the years as an innovation leader in the outdoor industry. Eureka! was the first to introduce a practical external frame tent (the Draw-Tite) in 1959, the first to design an umbrella tent that combined the roominess of a cabin tent with the convenience of an umbrella frame, and the first to use frame clips to ease set-up and enhance air circulation. Recently, Eureka! developed the patented High/Lowä venting door and low venting fly.

Superior craftsmanship, attention to detail, and product innovation are just some of the reasons Eureka! has enjoyed a first-class reputation for over 100 years. This is why climbers like Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to climb Mt. Everest in 1960, trusted Eureka! tents on this Himalayan Expedition to Nepal. Eureka! was also the sole tent supplier to the All American Mountaineering Expedition that climbed Mt. Everest in 1963. And in 1978, Eureka! was with the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna every step of the way. In fact, Eureka! tents have accompanied all the North American “first ascents” of Mt. Everest, including the first Canadian woman in 1986 and the first American woman in 1988.

Even if your idea of an adventure involves considerably less risk, it’s good to know that Eureka! is made to meet the challenge.
