Description

The X-Dome™ 2 is an ultralight freestanding tent developed from our focus on efficient design to be more spacious, protective, and user friendly. It combines our weight efficient and simple X-Mid floorplan with a structurally optimized pole set to provide unprecedented space and protection for the weight. The result is a generously sized and fully freestanding two person shelter that is highly liveable in tough conditions for just 2.8 lbs (1.26 kg). 

Features

  • Optimal Geometry: Our patent pending X-Dome geometry combines our unique rectangular X-Mid floorplan with a freestanding pole structure to enable improved space and protection while making it simpler and lighter.
  • Structurally Efficient Pole Set: A single larger tube can be stronger and lighter than multiple smaller tubes, so the X-Dome pole set modifies the classic dual arch design by combining the dual arches together into a single arch across the top of the tent, while also upsizing this "spine" tubing to be about twice the strength, so it offer the strength of a dual arch tent at a lower weight. This pole set also uses premium Easton carbon fiber to further improve the strength and lower the weight.
  • Spacious: The X-Dome 2 is a highly spacious 2 person tent, including class leading interior volume and a floor large enough to two wide rectangular pads. Headroom is 3-6" taller than comparable tents with a 43" interior peak height and the shape extends this over a larger portion of the tent, while steep walls provide excellent length and useable width.
  • Trekking Pole Supports: Trekking poles can be optionally added to complete the cross bar into an ultra strong extra arch, giving the tent 4-season levels of strength. Uniquely, these trekking pole supports are counter balanced so they directly support the sidewalls from deflection and further increase the vertical and horizontal stability of the tent.
  • Non Sag Polyester Fly: Our tents have pioneered the use of polyester in lightweight tents because polyester doesn't expand and sag like other fabrics, so the shelter dries fast and retains its structural integrity in wet conditions.
  • Large Doorway: The doorway is large thanks to the crossbar (which increases the height) and the angled zipper (which widens the opening). This large door provides easy entry and can be enlarged further by opening the smaller side of the door to fully open the side of the tent.
  • Large Vestibule: The X-Dome 2 has dual vestibules that are large, tall and put the main area beside the door instead of blocking it for improved ease of use. The vestibule has a healthy 21" (0.5 m) of depth at the door zipper which widens further to 26" at the end of the tent, giving room for even the largest packs. From inside the tent you can easily access the vestibule through the main door, plus you can open the smaller interior door to directly access the vestibule space.
  • Doublewall: A full doublewall design with separate fly and inner components avoids potential contact with fly condensation and allows for modular use, including pitching the inner only in fair weather, pitching the fly first to keep the inner tent dry in the rain, and using the fly + poles without the inner as an even lighter shelter (29 oz / 830 g)
  • Dual Vents: The dual adjustable peak vents minimize condensation yet can close during harsh conditions.
  • Full Coverage Fly: A full coverage fly extends low to the ground to block drafts and rain splatter.
  • Magnetic Door Toggles: Magnetic toggles allow the fly and interior doors to be closed operated with one hand.
  • Dual Pockets: The X-Dome 2 has 4 interior peak pockets including 2 smaller pockets beside the doors (ideal for phones) and 2 larger pockets at the ends (ideal for clothes, stuff sacks).
  • Fully Waterproofed Seams: Our seams are factory waterproofed with high precision narrow seam taping to provide a tent that is ready to use out of the box while staying light.
