The Forte SQ 2XT from Eureka is a 3-season, side entry tent of unmatched strength and stability thanks to its proprietary Sequoia A-frame + spreader pole configuration. Lightweight and efficient, the Forte SQ 2XT offers ample interior space for two full-sized adults to sleep comfortably in the backcountry. Equipped with a large front vestibule and a smaller rear vestibule accessible via a rear vent, the tent provides a dry place to keep your pack, without crowding your sleeping space. Thanks to a bathtub floor that protects against splashing and standing water as well as a full-coverage rainfly, the Forte SQ 2XT will keep you dry in even the heaviest downpours. The tent's new extended ridgepole provides more interior space with a generous 3-foot+ ceiling height and multiple vents, windows, and a large door keep the air fresh. Finally, Eureka's standard pin-and-ring, pole-to-body connection is fast and reliable, for simple and hassle free setup.

  • Front and Rear Vestibules: The vestibules provide extra protected-space to store gear without sacrificing room within the tent. The rear vestibule is easily accessible through a rainbow zip in the back wall of the tent.
  • Interior Pockets: 4 interior storage pockets keep essentials organized and close at hand within the tent.
  • Access and Ventilation: One large side-entry door offers easy tent access while 4 vents and 2 windows keep the air moving and fresh. All entry points are covered with no-see-um mesh for optimum insect protection.
