    Well I've been sceptical that the X Dome wouldn't be able to handle moderate winds, it's all well and good take a weight on the top but 30+ gusts from the side... ? Well its been well and truly proven its a solid 3+ season tent, especially when the solid inner version come out. A guy took it into the mountains in the Lake District (uk) and put it through its paces in 30-40mph and driving snow. I'm so pleased to be proven wrong or at least had it proven to me i can trust the X Dome. Superb.

    I think that Mr Durston is on to a winner with the X Dome. Another well thought out and designed tent.

I'm personally waiting to see how this will compare to the two man version, before I make a decision

    Haven't even set up my tent once yet and I'm in love with it :) refreshingly practical and simple explanations. I'm about to head off to South America for 6 months and the x-mid 2 will be my home :). One thing you could mention on your website is the import fees, had to pay half the tents value again when it arrived here in Belgium, but yeah that's on me not doing my homework. Still would have bought it anyway tbh.

    • @durstongear
      @durstongear День назад

      Glad you're liking the tent. Yeah there are high taxes in Europe. It is the same taxes that would be included in a higher price when buying locally, but yes it can be a non-fun surprise. We are working on communicating this effectively. We do explain it on our shipping page..

      Thanks for giving it a try. The tax to the UK is high but it is the same tax you'd pay on any tent (mostly VAT) so the difference is just that the tax is paid separately instead of being included in a higher list price.

      @durstongear День назад

      There is high tax in the UK, but it is the same for any tent. You have VAT of about 20% and the UK and Europe have a 12% duty on tents, so on pretty much all tents you do get charged about 35% tax unfortunately. The difference here is just that you pay it separately instead of the tax being included in a higher price (like a local tent).

    Hi, Dan (@durstongear). I just received my X-Dome and can't wait to try it out! Question; will the Z-Flick poles add any storm worthiness, or do you recommend only using trekking poles for those conditions? I love all my Durston equipment. I wish you well keeping up the incredible work and innovation!!

    • @durstongear
      @durstongear 2 дня назад

      Thanks for the kind words. You can use the Z-Flick's to reinforce the X-Dome in place of the optional trekking pole supports, but you should add rubber boots to the Z-Flick poles (get the 12mm size) to make the end larger. That should only be needed in very high winds or big snowloads.

    Question, Why don’t you have the partial solid interior on the door as well (where the head will be)

    • @durstongear
      @durstongear 2 дня назад

      It is so you can see into the vestibule better. When you are cooking or just working in the vestibule it is nice to have that visibility. The head is pretty well protected by the solid fabric on the end, but also we will have a full solid interior option in the spring.

    • @severussnape-bd9fm
      @severussnape-bd9fm 2 дня назад

      Thx for your response. Though I guess if you are working in the vestibule the door would be open so that doesn’t make sense. And also you wouldn’t be on the ground with your head so the fabric would block your view into the tent. To me it looks like it will only add more draft. Looks like a great tent!

      @durstongear 3 дня назад

      Without the trekking poles the X-Dome and X-Mid are pretty similar (assuming they are pitched well). If you add the optional trekking poles to the X-Dome then it is strongest of all. It can do major snow loads like that. We have tested it to 40 lbs on the roof, which is about 180L or 50 gallons of snow.
