That tent sure checks a lot of boxes. Super interested to see how this one will compare to the tarptent. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I think the sail fabric on the tarptent might be more durable, but I’m not sure. I also am a little concerned by the Durston pole size. But I’m always confused by why tent manufacturers go with certain pole sizes. I guess I’m used to hilleberg and their size matters idea. Excited to see/hear/read the reviews. These two tents are definitely pushing me to want to sell my stone glacier tent and pick up one of these…

I have the SG 2 person tent, and really like it, except the weight. I do like how this durston tent has the ability to use trekking poles to add more stability with wind and snow loads. I have used that on my SG and liked the extra strength it added.

I’ve looked at the SG 1 person tent multiple times, but I just couldn’t get over the entrance and lack of vestibule. This durston tent seems to solve that issue with the side entry.

I don’t know a ton about fabrics and poke size for tents, I like to think tent manufacturers do their testing to stand up to demands.

Still have to wait until Nov for the tent to ship out. Pre order
