    If you were shopping for a winter tent right now (as I am) would you favor the Slingfin Crossbow or the ArcDome Ultra? I’ve narrowed it down to these two.

    My use will be winter in the Rockies, mostly solo but sometimes with another person. Some use possible outside of winter and outside the Rockies but that is not my top priority.

    The ArcDome is lighter and $200 less expensive. The Ultra fabric is intriguing. But being a first iteration makes me pause a little…

    Crossbow looks well thought-out, but a little more complicated. Seems like people like their Crossbows.

    Both seem designed for what I’m looking for… And I know I just need to pick one and try it, then learn. But this can be fun too.

    Anyone want to help me off the fence? Which would you try?

    What are the respective weights for your use as you interpret the specs?

    59 oz, ArcDome

    67 oz, Crossbow

    Seems to be everything minus stakes and bags.

    No experience w either. However as you say the crossbow seems to be overloaded with features; and imo I would be cautious jumping in with Ultra TNT quite yet

    That said: the ArcDome because weight

    How about the Djedi, if you can plan ahead?
