X-Dome 1+

Bought the X-Dome so as not to rely on stakes and really loves it so far; expected to miss two vestibules but the shape works well with all their gear inside. Chose aluminium poles for rough handling, and picked it over the Scarp for more space, no stakes needed and a lower price.

“I thought I would preffer the two vestibules over the strange shape but actually it works out pretty well and I like having all my stuff just with me.”

Found the X-Dome a fine tent but worried about the poles and connectors, and struggled to hook up the top pole alone in wind when tired. Did not like the 1+ layout with a single door and went back to the simpler two-vestibule X-Mid 1.

“I found the xdome a fine tent but I was paranoid about the poles and connectors. I found it quite a challenge on my own in windy conditions to hook up the top pole.”
