I am very wary of carbon fiber poles.. Recently bought a tarptent and the carbon fiber poles snapped together, during normal use, shattered and put several carbon fiber splinters into my finger. Cost over $3000 to have the finger operated on and the fibers removed.
Not sure yet. Need to take it out on a trip before I can tell you that. I wouldn’t get rid of my x-mid. I just think I’d have to decide whether I needed a freestanding tent for certain trips. Harder to set up the x-mid on platform camping areas.
Polyester doesn’t stretch out and absorb as much water when wet. Tent companies haven’t been using polyester because there wasn’t a lightweight version of it until recently.
This is the best explanation of this product. Thank you. 🙂 I am ordering one.
Thank you! Glad it helped!
Nice tent. Lots of breathable mesh. Great for air flow definitely not a 4th season tent.
I love it! I want!
I don't really backpack much these days but this looks like a solid piece of gear.
Unique and brilliant presentation man! Outstanding content
Appreciate it!

Dan Durston has a video explaining why these carbon fiber poles are actually stronger than aluminum.
Is it good enough to give up your xmid for?

I think I just need to recover from whatever health issue or mental issue I’m having and finally try it out. Got the tent at launch.
I get it. I’ve been dealing with some burnout this year. Hard to stay motivated.
Why PU not nylon?
