Argali Dyneema 2P and 4P Tents

[Brad@Argali]

We are finally getting around to releasing a Dyneema version of our Absaroka and Rincon tents along with Dyneema half inserts. To all of you on here that have asked for them, I appreciate your pattience as fabric lead times for Dyneema can be horrendous. I have used prototypes of both models a lot over the last two years of testing, including on a sheep hunt last year in Alaska (photo below).

We will be running a 48 hour pre-sale on them on March 6th for those that are interested and I expect they will go relatively quickly. There is a sign up button on the product page for each of these tents. Let me know if you have any questions.

Absaroka 4P Pro Dyneema



Rincon 2P Pro Dyneema





Note that the photo makes the fabric look white-ish, but it is a Dark Grey, or what we call Shadow.

We got to use one of the 2p this summer and that fabric is wonderful.

30 oz for the regular in Silpoly and 22.9 in Dyneema. Roughly half a pound.

What Is the biggest benefit of dyneema the weight savings or is the material better at not absorbing water and not stretching and how will dyneema hold up over time with normal use

No, the Dyneema half insert saves another 4 ounces. so the whole kit saves about 3/4 lb.

The biggest benefit is weight savings, but Dyneema fibers are stronger than steel, so it is incredibly strong even in a lightweight fabric. There are a couple new fabrics emerging that might compare to dyneema, but right now there isn't anything on the market that compares to Dyneema for being super light and strong. Dyneema isnt impenetrable, but is has better strength than most woven fabrics. Dyneema has pretty much 0 stretch to it as well, and for some reason it doesn't attract condensation nearly as much as traditional tent fabrics either. So, benefits are weight, strength and condensation.

Any plans to make the 4 person insert in dyneema?
