I remember when you looked at this years ago. At a glance; translucent = too hot for summer, lots of mesh = too cold for winter. But you have used it for years and liked it. I will take your word for it. Thanks Luke

@briandoolittle3422 5 днів тому

How often do you spend significant amounts of time in your tent in the middle of the day? I'm usually hiking during the time where direct sun heating up my tent would be an issue. DCF tents cool down fine in the evening when there is no longer high mid-day sun on them.

Naturehike makes a tent with the same design called the Cloud Wing 2. Probably a knock off of this design. Cool to see the original.

Awesome review, thank you. On the back of the tent that is not a guy line connection, it is where the fly gets connected to the tent pole to hold the fly off of the tent body. Hence the little ball on the other side of the loop. 🙂

With something like this I would just worry every second about any source of damage and worry is not recreational 😁 This is nice for through hikers to whom every gram is counted and noticed -

@luluwan5212 11 днів тому

$2400 for a tent, I think I'm buying a RBM hot tent. I carried a Sierra Designs on my AT thru-hike in 1998; it weighed about 5 pounds total. But brand new it only cost $180 and to this day is still 100% waterproof and reliable. Weight savings is nice, but there's a limit on your comfort as well that a pound or two extra could surely cure: it's a tradeoff.

What is so compelling about this tent that you would be so willing to spend over $2,000?

@better.better 7 днів тому

never mind titanium, you can replace the aluminum stakes with carbon fiber stakes (I got mine from Dutchware Gear) you can save weight by ditching the storage bag. important note: DCF (Dyneema Composite Fabric) is not invincible no matter what the sales brochure says. it can be punctured by twigs and stakes and it can wear out from abrasion. Dutchware primarily focuses on camping hammock supplies, but there's a lot of crossover products, such as the carbon fiber tent stakes, tarps, and down quilts, and an entire section devoted to DIY, so if you wanted to make your own DCF tent, or bags, packs and pack covers, rain gear, or whatever, you can get it there and certain fabrics you can get printed. I bought a Silpoly tarp from them printed with my own camo design for example.

Super Cool, I have never heard of it. I used to work in an outdoor store in the late 90's, Sierra Designs had this class workers in the industry could take, including a test. If you passed it, you were entered into the "8000 Meter Club", which gave you a Prodeal, a frisbee, t shirt, and some other swag. I still have the frisbee (shirt wore out long ago). I got a Alpha CD 4 season hybrid tent and 0 degree down bag with the Prodeal, think I paid less that $400 for both cobined, which was about 60% off.

@Im_With_Stupid 11 днів тому

It was a proof of concept from back when DCF and carbon fiber were big deals, not something they intended to produce. The design was nothing special, only the materials, and backpackers already have better and much lighter options with trekking pole tents that are coming in under a pound and can practically fit in a jacket pocket.
