I just ordered a DCF Silex. I have one in Sil with a stove jack but a Dyneema version without a stove will be perfect for about 50% of my use.

I think it's a HUGE advantage in the smaller shelters not for weight, but for the no-sag when wet aspect.

I think the fabric would be a big advantage in the larger shelters too. As of this posting there is one Cimarron slot left to pre-order. That would be an incredible shelter to use when it turns wet.

I already have a DCF Silex and Cimmaron. Both are awesome. Awesome enough that I contemplated getting another when I got the preorder email.

If I could only have one shelter, it would be a DCF Cimmaron.

That sounds like the perfect pair of shelters.

DCF is gonna look a lot less appealing to all but the most wealthy and weight conscious customers when sil-poly becomes more available IMO

Sil-poly has been available for years. I forget the reason, but 5 or 6 years ago I dug into various materials and came to the conclusion that I would prefer sil-nylon to sil-poly for my shelters.

Of course, as I don't remember why, perhaps I would not come to the same conclusion today.

SilPoly is more promotion than substance IMO. The research doesn't back it up

I heard a rumor that a DCF Redcliff will be available soon ?

I'd rather see a dcf twilight! Well, I hypothesize I'd rather see one. We had a redcliff for a bit, but I didn't feel like I lost much usable space going to a dcf cimarron.

@RyanSeek43 are more dcf models in the works?

 

[RyanSeek43]

Possibly. It may not work out with the patterns. We are experimenting with some different things though.

Correct.

 

[406flyfish]

Correct.

Could you elaborate on what month these tents would be for sell?

 

[Dezurtrat]

Correct.

You just made my day! Keep us updated on when they will be available

 

[RyanSeek43]

Should be soon. Probably April. They will be ready to ship instead of the usual 6 week lead time.

 

[406flyfish]

Great. Thank you.

Any thought of using Challenge Sailcloth Ultra TNT as a fabric on those bigger tents? Seems to have no sag, properties extremely similar to DCF, for a very small weight penalty and signifanct cost savings. Just curious! I have a DCF Cimarron from you guys that I love but saw some other tent makers using Challenge TNT and it seems promising, for my wallet at least!

 

[RyanSeek43]

Possibly. We have some here that we are lightly messing with. Its cool.

Sign me up for the first Ch.TNT² (Challenge TNT Tarp). A no sag, ultralight, bomber 7.5'x9' tarp! I may just buy some fabric to sew one the more I think about it.
