Dyneema/DCF/cuben tents real life experience

[JeffRaines]

So far I’ve only ever used silnylon/silpoly tents both hunting and just hiking. I’ve always drooled over the lightweight offerings that are in the aforementioned material but it’s always been a little out of reach financially until lately. A not-claustrophobic 2p tent for 23-24oz sounds ridiculous… also like something I’d be very interested in!

For those of you with direct experience - was it worth it? Have you had any issues with wear? I’m not overly hard on my tents. I figure if I take care of anything it had best be tents or sleeping bags/pads because those are sort of important!

FWIW I’m either thinking a Durston X-Mid 2 Pro or 2+ pro. Price and weight is very similar between the two.

Thanks for helping me make financially irresponsible decisions.

I asked this awhile back- good reports.

I bought a Tarptent double rainbow earlier in the year and I almost pulled the trigger on the dyneema version. I think the stats were 6 ounces lighter, under 2# but $330 more.

BTW, Best small tent I’ve ever seen at 2.5#
