Large sil-nylon tent suggestions?

[lwtickner]

Any suggestions besides tipis for large sil-nylon tent? I've seen the courthouse and warbonnet tsunami. Looking for more of the like

I bought the Courthouse this year. It's pretty awesome. Take's up very little space when packed up and could be easily compressed to take up even less space.

 

[lwtickner]

Are you back packing with it at all?

 

[Fitzwho]

It’s definitely not a backpacking tent. If you split it between 2-3 guys or a llama it would be manageable.

Two poles and lots of stakes is what gets you.

Have you considered sil-poly tents? Many companies are going that way because sil-poly doesn't absorb water and stretch like sil-nylon. Fabric strength and tear resistance used to be a concern for sil-poly, but newer ripstop sil poly is now on-par with sil-nylon.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't think I've heard of it. I'll check it out. Any tent off to of your head to look at?

The Arctic Oven Nunatak Apex is in the same ballpark.

FYI sil-nylon sags when wet.

Sil-poly does not

The Argali line of tents are sil-poly.

Which tent did you end up going with?

I ended up with a peax tipi. Not what I was after. The new hybrid snowtrkkr is what I'll prolly go with now that it's released

That new hybrid from Snowtrekker looks awesome, I want one!!!

The Oware 11x11 pyramid is a great shelter if it's big enough for your needs.

The Pomoly Circle 6 worked out fairly well for me the past year. Might be one to keep in the short list.

I have a fair amount of experience with hot tents, having both used a wall tent for years and a smaller Seek Outside Redcliff for a handful of seasons as well. Don’t get me wrong; that Seek tent is excellent for what it is, but when it that sil-nylon gets wet, it sags to the point that it’s no...

How's the headroom? Can you stand up fully in it?

I think the peak is 6'6", so most should be able to stand up in it. The circle top is right at about 6', so you'd have whatever that pi-r-squared for a 6' diameter circle worth of standing room. Not enough for jumping jacks, but plenty for most of us

I'm 5'11" so should have room! Thank you

SO Redcliff is a great choice. A buddy has one and it has a ton of room. Haven't been in a Courthouse though.

How is the Pomoly Circle 6 in heavy snow and strong winds?
