Eureka tents have made the history books over the years for a number of reasons. Their biggest claim to fame is that Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to climb Mt Everest, used a Eureka tent on his Himalayan Expedition to Nepal in 1960. Eureka was also the main tent supplier to the All American Mountaineering Expedition that climbed Mt Everest in 1963.Eureka Camping Tents Review - Timberline, Draw-Tite
The American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna in 1978 also used Eureka tents.
Eureka first started manufacturing tents in 1895, in Binghamton, New York. Since then they’ve remained at the forefront of new developments in the tent industry. In 1959 Eureka was the first to design a practical outside frame tent called the Draw-Tite. The company was also the first tent manufacturer to design an umbrella tent which combined the spaciousness of a cabin with the ease of having a unique umbrella frame. Other developments have included: The Timberline, a self supported backpacking and mountaineering tent; and the wrap-up bathtub floor system on all of its tents.
Eureka has had a long association with the military; during WW II they manufactured hundreds of hospital ward tents, and in the Vietnam campaign they produced liners for Quonset huts. Eureka is still one of the major suppliers of tents and accessories for U.S. military personnel.
