Eureka! Suite V4 tent wins Field & Stream's “Best of the Best" Award

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (September 7, 2010) – Eureka!, a leading camping equipment company, today announced that after rigorous testing and evaluation by Field & Stream’s expert editors, the new Suite V4 tent has been awarded the “Best of the Best” title. The Suite V4 is featured in the September 2010 issue of Field & Stream magazine, which is currently on newsstands.

The “Best of the Best” award is given annually to the best and brightest new products that are deemed critical to a hunter’s success in the field. Forty-seven Field & Stream testers in eleven states and provinces evaluated more than 250 pieces of sporting gear in order to award the best hunting products introduced in 2010 with the “Best of the Best” distinction.

“We’d like to thank the team at Field & Stream for selecting the Suite V tent as a recipient of the ‘Best of the Best’ award,” said Mark Hrubant, brand director for Eureka! tents. “This award recognizes the Suite V4 as one of the most innovative tents on the market and validates that Eureka! offers a variety of tents built for any camping experience. Eureka! tents enable any outdoor adventurer to find the comforts of home outside, whether they are family car camping, or avid hunters and fisherman.”

Eureka! Suite V tents have a unique pole structure that provides maximum headroom at the front of the tent, enabling campers over six feet tall to walk upright into the front door through the front vestibule area. These three-pole V-shaped dome tents with fiberglass frames offer expanded living space inside for improved livability, and all within a smaller V– shaped footprint. They feature two large D-style doors with mesh roof and four windows for airflow, and a fly that can be configured in multiple ways including use as an awning. The Suite V4 measures 9′ 6” x 7′ 3” and is 6′ 2” high, weighs 20 lbs 8 oz. and costs $239.90. The Suite V6 measures 14′ 3” x 9′ and is 6′ 9” high, weighs 26 lbs 12 oz. and costs $319.90.
