New Durston X-Dome for Alaska hunts??

[mtwarden]

DCF tents are definitely spendy, especially free standing tents. The Djedi mentioned above is north of $1000, the Saor I mentioned is $800+ (add shipping too), the Samaya mentioned earlier also north of $1000.

Even the Hilleberg Niak (non dcf) is right at $1000 anymore.

Yeah I was actually surprised the HMG wasn’t >$1000.

Yeah I was thinking all the prices are pretty close, it’s just does a guy want to save weight or have a solid tent for bad weather, guess it’s good we have options.

X-Dome 2

The X-Dome 2 is an innovative and lightweight two freestanding tent. It is remarkably spaciousness, stormworthy, and simple to use for just 2.7 lbs (1.25 kg).

For the price Im really debating an X-mid 2p or the X-dome..

I already have the X-mid 1p and was impressed.

Yeah having a hard time spending over $800 for a 1 man tent... but I want lightweight, and freestanding is sure nice... still undecided though. I'm a pretty skinny dude, I might go with one of the single trekking pole tents with an inner.

@B_Reynolds_AK and @6.5x284. I just posted a review of the Samaya 2.0 tent in the sleep system forum. Let me know if any questions...

Bringing this thread back up to see if anyone had anymore feedback on the x-dome 1p+ ?

I am planning on taking an xdome 1p solid to the NWT for a late August sheep/moose/caribou hunt. Will leave a review when done.

Following as well for feed back. For what I need the X dome really looks great.

After 10 days in the Alaska Range (in a Hille Anjan2), I would really want to get my X-dome out in some wind for testing before bringing it on a hunt in AK conditions. It’s been great in the some blustery FL & GA conditions, but that isn’t AK.

I recently got back from a quick 3 night trip for goats here in central BC. The first night was pouring rain and some hail into the next morning. Wind was high with some big gusts. The rest of the time the weather was really good. The x-done 1 plus held up great, though I must admit I was very much awake hoping a failure would not occur. I will defiantly sleep better next trip having experienced some weather in the tent. I should add this was the new run with a solid inner and extra guy out points.

My sheep partner used the 1.5 X dome on our recent trip, he was super impressed with it. We had a couple days of hard wind and rain and it did great. I like how it ties out from the corners. I don’t think it folded as much as my hhnx did in the wind.

I need to replace my hhnx, next season I’ll be going with a Durston X dome.
