Solitude Peax teepee questions

[Schoolhousegrizz]

I'm wondering who has this teepee and what you think of it? I heard problems that it doesn't seal to the ground well. How is condensation? How is it with two people and a stove?

I don't have it but my impressions of it are meh...The short door seems a little wonky (I really like the full zip door on my Cimarron) and the footprint looks "round", which kills some floor space. It also seems like an expensive tipi for what it is.

For Made in US, look at the Seek Cimarron. For not, look at the Argali.

Condensation is 95% where/how you pitch it and 5% design.

Thanks!! I have a SO 8 Man. Love it but it struggles in bad wind. Wondering if the trekking pole design in the Peax really helps.

The cross-support pole system really stiffens it up. A buddy has one and we used it with the Peax Titanium Stove during our Idaho Spring Bear hunt. We had some moderate wind and weather and the Solitude did just fine. Inside for space was not bad with two guys and a stove.. I'm 6'1" and it was roomy enough. We were out 7 days. I'm wanting to get one for myself.
