smd skyscape x questions

Thank you for the link!

SMD no longer sells the "porch" awning for Skyscapes but Ron Moak will send you the drawing/dimensions so you can make one yourself.

The Skyscape X is, IMHO, the lightest solo true tent (i.e. attached floor) available and a very good design. If you already use hiking poles you save the weight of tent poles with this design.

If I had the "disposable income" I'd get a Skyscape X for 3 season use. As it is I'm happy with my T.T. Moment DW solo tent.

Damn! I could have written that review myself. His observations are spot frickin' on, based on my 3 seasons using a Skyscape X. I would say that beefing up the floor with 1.24 Cuben is the most critical improvement that could be made to this otherwise superb tent.

To Myles: Read that review carefully. It will tell you all you need to know about the Skyscape X.

Thanks for all the replies. Yeah, that review was very nicely done, and informative.
Funny about the floor leaking, because as he said, I haven't heard of that happening before. I haven't really came across a bad review, and that is very encouraging. I really like the design, as it is pretty close to what I have now, A TT notch.

I've been pleased with other purchases from Six Moons. My lunar duo is a very nice tent. A bit big at times and I'd rather have cuben, use fewer stakes…I've always liked the Skyscape models. The non cuben models are very reasonable. The x model is very tempting.
For those with a bit less money to spend…

I agree with Eric. Minus the concern you had with the bathtub floor, this is IMHO the top dog for a real "tent." Not as versatile as a fly/inner that is removeable, but for people who do not need the versatility, I really like this tent.

Disclaimer: I have NO direct experience with this tent, whoever I do own a Lightheartgear solo, which is a very similar design. My ideal perfect tent would be a LHG Solo/SoLong6 in cuben. I wish Judy still worked with cuben…

hey all, i am happy to try to answer any direct/specific questions about the smdsx that anybody might have. i think i also need to update the article, a number of design changes have happened since i published that article/review. ah, yet another thing for the todolist. glad you guys found my article to be worthy of sharing!

Thanks for all of the input. I did appreciate all of you info, John. It is looking like the tent is the real deal! I have not found any reviews that said anything really negative.I do wish there were more videos o, it, though.
