"UPDATE Short Version: I’ve since taken this tent for its first mountain camp and unfortunately the crossbar snapped in wind as I was setting up. I managed to get it up with a guy line on each corner, and had just put the first trekking pole support in when it snapped. So I had to bail
Long Version:
These were unexpected strong winds that arose on what was previously a tame, breezy day, due to a very sudden change of wind direction causing a downdraft from nearby cliffs toward my pitch. I didn’t take my wind metre as I wasn’t expecting anything exciting, wind-wise, and there were no storms or weather warnings forecast, so I don’t know what those wind speeds were, but the tent poles were bending inwards considerably under the strain and would not have lasted long even if the crossbar hadn’t snapped. The poles also came undone on one side where the drag of the tent fabric leaning inwards had pulled the pole sections apart I would not recommend using this tent directly in the path of strong winds (which I realise is easier said than done in the UK mountains due to our unpredictable weather and unexpected changes of wind direction). Once the wind got up, I knew it wasn’t going to go well but as I was only 2-3 km from my car and knew bailing was an option (unlike on a multi-night or long-distance hike where I’m far from safety and bailing might not be an option), I continued anyway for research purposes, as the website currently describes this tent as having ‘unprecedented stormworthiness’. So I wanted to see how that would play out I just don’t think that tents with thin, lightweight poles are suited to our crazy and unpredictable UK weather in the mountains, where wind can be severe and unexpected. This is my second pole tent that has snapped in wind (the other being my MSR Hubba NX, on a sunny march evening) I think the X-Dome is a great tent for fair weather or tamer bad weather, or a nice sheltered area as shown in this video, or woodland camping. My issue is that for mountain camping, you often just don’t know what you’re gonna get, weather-wise [...]
Dan Durston antwortet auf ihren Kommentar: [...] I do appreciate feedback on how I describe the tent. I added a FAQ a few weeks ago clarifying that is not a 4-season tent and not as strong as a heavier tent. I also revised the wording just now so that where it says "unprecedented stormworthiness" it clarifies that is "for an ultralight freestanding tent". I do think it is stronger than other comparable ultralight tents (e.g. double wall tents around 1 kg) but it is not comparable to a Hilleberg for strength. Hopefully that can more accurately describe the tent. [...]
