Cuben fiber enclosed tent makers

So you are looking for a double wall tent only not a single wall tent and does it need to be free standing?

It does not need to be free standing but i do like the mesh inner for bug protection and a little sense of security. Not sure I'm ready to go to a 100% only tarp yet.

so a single wall is o.k. with you?

Yep, just prefer one with a floor. Am I chatting with a bot right now?! I might be losing my mind.

:)

I have the MLD duomid with a solo innernet – so a true cuben double wall, fully enclosed tent (i have both the single and the double inner for flexibility).

ZPacks makes the solplex, the duplex and the triplex, as well as all the hexamid shelters……

Yama mountain gear, HMG echo, six moon designs haven, deschutes, etc etc.

Most of those tarps can be paired with a net inner to make a fully double walled tent….

Does that help???

Well both MLD and HMG sell innernets with a floor that go with their cuben tarps and mids to make a fully inclosed shelter and so does Zpacks and so does YAMA MOUNTAIN GEAR which also sells a cuben single wall tent with floor or separate inner.

Most of the systems are modular and can be used with or without an inner which is nice. I have an HMG Ultamid with a Bearpaw inner and an MLD Solomid XL with inner. I also have an old school Gossamer Gear SpinnShelter with an Alpinlelite (now Yama) inner net.

If you want sold as one peice SMD Skyscape X fits the bill. I also think Terra Nova has one.

I have the TarpTent Moment DW right now which is billed as double-walled but I have the mesh inner. I really like this tent but it weighs about 38 oz with one included pole.

I'd like to switch to something with a similar setup (think outer wall + mesh inner) that uses a trekking pole (or two if necessary) and is made of cuben so it weighs considerably less.

I'd probably then get the Moment DW's optional solid inner and crossing pole and use it for winter camping should I choose to get into that.

>I'd like to switch to something with a similar setup (think outer wall + mesh inner)

so you do want a double wall, but one that uses a trekking pole instead of tent poles is now what you are saying correct?
Well as has been stated many companies several of us have posted all sell cuben outer wall and separate inner nets that use trekking poles to set them up.

Steve,
The TT Notch is a "Moment DW W/O the arch", using two trekking poles instead of the arch pole.

The Notch weighs a little less than the Moment DW with a comparable inner tent.

Thanks Eric. I was thinking the Notch would be great as a replacement to what I have but how much lighter can I get by going cuben while maintaining the comfortability of the TarpTent? Maybe it is only a few ounces and not worth it.

A Moment done in Cuben would save you around 6-8 oz but cost you at least twice as much.
A good example is the Terra Nova Laser Ultra 1 (Cuben) at 550g (RRP £800/$1250)
The same tent in silnylon ,called Laser Photon 1 , is 720g (6oz more)(RRP £400)
The reason why some Cuben tents are so light is the same reason why my shorts are lighter than my long pants.

This is the TN version :

Put some vents in it (there is a hint…), extend the fly to the bottom of the pole and use proper stakes, press the + button on the size (the TN is smaller than the Moment, about 5" less headroom) ) and you will find that the weight will get a lot closer to what you have already.

Maybe one day H will get in to using polyester. ;)

In addition to the tent makers listed, Big Sky International also has a cuben option which they call "Let It Por" fabric.
