New Durston x-dome pre-orders opened and it looks like the tent I've been looking for these last 2 years. I'll be ordering asap.

I'm so pleased I didn't settle for something else. This ticks all my boxes and then some. The perfect tent? Just maybe.

Silpoly is a good blend of weight, waterproofness, and doesn't sag or absorb water like silnylon. The big design difference here is a clip-in inner tent with a fly using external poles that is truly freestanding. I.e. you can pitch this fly first with nothing but the fly. That's really handy for rain. I expect a solid inner for winter eventually. Also looks like the body is offset a little from the fly for a nice sized vestibule. Dan's autism for shelter design is very powerful.

I stopped watching as soon as I saw it. I'd never get a tent that'd be useless because the cross pole snapped.

I'd think that I should've trusted my instincts and got a trekking pole tent like the Lanshan 2 person (1060g) or X-Mid 2 person (1005g). The X-Dome 1 is 985g), so all very close.
It looks like an excellent tent, but I'm just sick of dealing with poles. I do like that the xdome is very spacious for one person, but I'd get a 2 person tent that weighs the same just for more space and if there happens to be someone else.

I've got one of these for using with my gf to replace my old shangri-la 3. The X-mid seems like a cool tent and look forward to when we can get out to try it for real, sadly it didn't arrive in time for our last trip. It is quite large and I'm interested to see how 'sensitive' it is to less than ideal pitching spots.
On trekking pole shelters, I've exclusively used then for my solo shelters since 2015 and for three season stuff they can't be beat.

That was a prototype and not the finalised product with poles built to spec. Dan even commented as much on the video you're referring to.

If you're sending prototypes to testers who are going to make public reviews, you make sure the quality is top-notch. It's like you're submitting closed alpha material to an open beta.

Different tents, even if they look very similar.
Arc Dome Ultra is a true 4 season tent, and heavier as a result. XDome is "3 season plus" which, for anyone doing real 4 season stuff (ie alpine treks) is not encouraging.

Maybe for UL. If you're okay with a 4 lb tent, you can get it for $100 new. I got mine at a thrift store, perfectly clean like it was never taken out of the bag.

I got mine on a black friday sale. At full price they are quite expensive, but there are a few reasons I think it's worth the investment for a beginner.
It's super lightweight for the amount of internal space - I replaced my 1 man tent with the 2 man copper spur and am carrying less weight. This will make your hiking more enjoyable and you'll be happy to go more often. It also has lots of quality-of-life features, like internal pockets and colour-matched clips for setting up the fly. It's very idiot-proof to set up.

The only thing to consider is that anything "ultralight" is probably going to be less durable. If you are the type of person that is a bit rough on their gear, I would start off with something less expensive and a bit more durable. The Copper Spur feels like it could tear if you don't take care of it well.

I believe in you, and it is a fantastic tent, so go for it.

that's not the reputation that zpacks used to have. I think the x-mids are roomier than the zpacks equivalent tents.

I got a 6lb tent complete with rain fly, footprint, stuff sack, and all poles I use. It is three man and while it is big and heavier than the sub 4lb ones I see, it is very very room for me, my dog, my gear, and an extra person. I sometimes get jealous of manlets because they can fit in the 1/2 person UL tents for 3lbs, but I do not fit in those at all. The extra 2ish lbs to fit comfortably is worth not waking up being in a claustrophobic sarcophagus. If I backpacked for more than 3 nights yeah maybe I would be more into shaving weight

or I could buy once and not cry at all. the main thing you're paying for with zpacks is the low weight, not that it's less likely to fall apart than a durston tent. I'm not a thru hiker, so I don't need a sub-1lb tent. that's the point.

You are not remembering properly, he said they work best when it’s cold and DRY, as in low humidity.
Goretex jackets are great for skiing or mountaineering, but they aren’t breathable in rain, which is what 98% of people with one use it for.
It’s retarded to spend so much on a jacket that doesn’t even do the thing it’s supposed to do when you are using it, the “scam” is that the companies selling the jackets don’t tell you they actually aren’t breathable in the rain.
