"Leaks, Tears, and Pole Critique
Writing the first critical review of the Crossbow 2 Four Season, speaking to its points of failure. We will see if this critical review gets left up with the 9 positive reviews. Nice bells and whistles on the crossbow, but in relatively little time the fabric is tearing and leaking, and the pole joints are fusing. At the end of the first season of use (in 2022, 5 months kayaking the coast of BC and Alaska), the web truss tore. Taped it back together, and it has torn in one other place since. Midway into the second season (another 5 months paddling the northwest coast in 2023), water began pooling up inside the tent, and I was using my kayak's bailing sponge frequently to drain the pool I was sleeping in. Note that I've always used a footprint to protect the floor, but despite this, water leaks in from the corners of the tent floor, and no alterations of fly sheet tension and guy-lining to cover the corners has resolved the water ingress, so I infer that the leak begins in the fly sheet. Furthermore, midway into the second season of use, the joints of the tent poles fused together. I had to buy a few new segments and am hoping for no further inseparable fusion issues on the original segments. At the beginning of the third season of use (pack rafting the Stikine River 2024), even light rains found their way into the tent and an entire corner of the floor ripped apart when put under normal tension of the pole setup. It's all taped together to squeeze out one more summer on the water, but considering that I use this tent in the rainforest, I'm anticipating a soggy season. Little pinholes are opening up throughout the floor, again, despite using a footprint and dedicating time to clearing a tent pad at each camp. Additionally, the zipper heads on both doors failed midway into the second season, and I got to use one of the bells and whistles I do admire about this tent--the backup zipper heads. There are some nice design features that the other reviews speak to, but those features don't make up for the failing integrity of the tent fabric and poles, as I the purpose of the tent is to stay dry and possible to setup and breakdown without issue. While I understand that Sling Fin doesn't manufacture "price-point" tents, I still have to factor in the high end cost. I invested in this expensive tent figuring it would last me longer, but in 13 years of full-time transient living out of a backpack and sleeping in various tents most nights of the year, I've had better endurance from cheaper brands, and could buy four of a certain store-brand tent for the cost of one crossbow. Furthermore, the one expensive ultralight tent I've ever bought has also outlasted the crossbow, despite the lightweight material (intentionally avoiding naming other brandnames and trademarked materials in this review, but one could hazard a guess) feeling flimsier. I actually still use the ultralight tent for my winter adventures, desert hiking and freight train hopping and bike touring, as opposed to paddling, because the crossbow hasn't held up to Alaskan summer. If you have plenty of disposable income and use your tent only on occasional outings, the bells and whistles in the crossbow's designs will likely feel wonderful--there are some truly thoughtful aspects of the design that attracted me to this tent in the first place, you can read the positive reviews to avoid redundancy here. But as a year-round, tent-dwelling, dirtbag bum, I need a better value on endurance and cost, not to mention weight. Until I get sponsored as a pro-hobo to test out the failure points of gear, I am seeking better shelter from the storm than the crossbow." (Kevin Danielson).
Ohne diese Kritik würde ich ja sagen: Durstons Dome wäre toll mit besseren, dicken Stangen ohne Kreuzungsgelenke, 6.6. silnyl 30 d mit snowflaps, Hille-mässig angebrachten Stangenclips, und half-solid inner. Dürfte dann auch 1,5 Kg wiegen. Und leichter, aus DCF würde ich wohl auch noch bezahlen.
Würde? Ich glaub der Konjunktiv wäre dann sehr schnell gestrichen:-)
Oder in billiger: das alte Snow Peak Lago (die gelbe Kuppel, Versionen als 1er und 2er) sah im Netz gut aus. Halt ohne Apside(n), aber ich war gerade versorgt. Wird nun seit 10 Jahren nicht mehr produziert. Edit: lesenwerter review, auch die Fotos grosszuklicken ganz inspirierend: https://www.gourmetsportsman.com/2013/11/snow-peak-lago-2-tent.html
