Has anyone seen this?

1 lb 15 oz
Pretty traditional looking tent design rather than a 'mid
Crazy expensive at $1800.00 !
Mar 14, 2013 at 5:03 pm #1965707Its a scam actually!
Mar 14, 2013 at 5:07 pm #1965715$1800!?! What the??
Mar 14, 2013 at 5:12 pm #1965717Its not even that light.
Mar 14, 2013 at 5:14 pm #1965719You can buy three SMD Skyscape X Cuben hybrid tents (550 each x 3 = 1650) and still have almost enough money left over (150) to buy a Cuben tarp from Zpacks (flat tarps start at 160, solo Hex tarp 195).
Not to mention that the Sky X is a full pound lighter. This almost seems like a joke.
EDIT: To show my work.
Mar 14, 2013 at 5:16 pm #1965720That weight includes the two 3/4 length sleeping pads, espresso maker and mini-lantern it comes with, too. Plus, it configures into an external-framed backpack and is completely vegan.
Mar 14, 2013 at 5:22 pm #1965722At $1800 I could buy a cheap heavy tent and pay someone to carry it.
Mar 14, 2013 at 5:28 pm #1965724Yeah, but this tent is made with "virtually indestructible Cuben Fiber." No other tent maker can claim that! ;-)
Mar 14, 2013 at 5:32 pm #1965726There was a previous thread on this that I missed.
Sorry
