While I haven’t tested or seen any of their products in person, the tipi tent raised a lot of red flags for me.
When I was shopping around for a new tipi tent 3 years ago, I saw a ton of various off-name Chinese brands sold for cheap. They all looked very similar and sold for around $100-$150. When I saw the new tipi offering from peax, I immediately thought they looked suspiciously like many of those Chinese brand offerings.
I’m sure the Peax tipi is a lot better than the cheap China offerings, but that’s likely a case of better QA/QC. Is it worth the cost over other well known quality brands, up to you. I can tell you after going through a few tipis that it’s tough to beat the Slumberjack tipi, and I still own one as a beater tipi with added stove jack. For less than $150 after adding the jack, it’s still going strong. When I decided to drop more coin on a larger and higher quality tipi, I went with a seek outside. Just my thought.
Here’s a pic of the Chinese offerings that look a lot like the Peax version:
