Great to finally see a professional review on this tent that I've lusted after for years. Thanks for filming this. I'm still baulking at buying one as I don't like the faff of inner poles ( unlike Crux or MH versions ) and im not convinced about the breathability of that DCF having tried it in the Samaya Assaut 2 . It's nowhere near as effective as eVent when the outer fabric is wet. Other than that it's a thing of true beauty, tent porn indeed ! Atb Andrew
Appreciate that, Andrew. Agree that the inner poles are a minus, but I suppose it would be more weight to add clips or a sleeve. I also have the Samaya Assaut 2 Ultra and would agree the fabric performance is good, but not as good. Different purpose for that tent, though, with the tie-in hard point in the ceiling and such. Maybe a compare and contrast video in the future?? 🤔🤔🤔
I’ve have a Djedi as well and love it. The ‘assault’ style of tent is my favorite even for non-mountaineering activities. In fact, I use it more in the summer than I the winter. Everyone debates the breathability but it has never been an issue for me, even in very humid conditions.
@@alexl8328 I have real doubts about your claims. Can you describe the humid climate, conditions and how you had the tent set up. Honestly, I am curious. I live in a climate and often no matter how open the tent, condensation is just a fact of life.
@@ShortGuysBetaWorks Which is better for four seasons, Samaya assault 2 or djedi? samaya doesn't have a mesh door, so worried that it will be hot in summer.
Haven't used one, but love the stability suggested by the claim of no mandatory guylines. That's pretty rare in a trekking pole tent. ⛺ What do you like most about it? And thanks for watching and the comment! 🙏
@@ShortGuysBetaWorks Apparently, the folks at Locus can no longer get the DCF eVent fabric. Too bad, because, as you noted in your review, the Djedi is remarkably condensation resistant. So, for now, it looks like Samaya is the sole source for a DCF mountain tent.
Any time may be hot in summer if you don't pitch in the shade. A mesh door will help and is better than not having one. Full mesh sides would be better to let a breeze through. But a tent with full mesh sides will never be good in the cold because there is no way to seal them up like a door. Tradeoffs in all things. Where will you be camping (usually) and at what elevation?
@@ShortGuysBetaWorks most of the mountains in Korea are low, so I will usually use them from 800m to 1000m. and I wonder how much it cost to buy a tent
I've had this tent for years, it performs terribly in the rain and humid environments in general. I have had standing water several times in the tent upon waking up.
Fair enough, and I appreciate you adding to the conversation. For me, I live in Colorado which has very low humidity. Second, I prefer high altitude climbing, which gets to even lower humidity 🏔😉Nice to learn how it performs (or doesn't) in different environments.
I do have the vestibule. It connects to the tent very well and has a nice, no-snag zipper. You pitch it with one trekking pole, and I find that it stays pretty sturdy in the rain, but gets wobbly under the weight of snow. Worth taking when rain is the threat, not worth taking when snow is the issue.
@@ShortGuysBetaWorks I’ve got both but mine don’t seem to fit well… probably not pitching correctly? Do you use the existing front stakes or new ones? Also, looks like the Djedi is not available anymore as the fabric has been discontinued.
Thanks Jason for this great review. Thibaud, from the french Alps
You are welcome! 🙏 I. Glad you enjoyed it.

@@alexl8328 The Samaya and the Djedi are both just different level 🦾

Durston X-Mid 2p ia my go-to tent.

An all Dyneema Breathable Hooped Bivi bag modelled on the Dutch Army hooped design please, for us oldies that need to save carried weight.
That's an interesting idea 🤔👍
I love my Djedi. Sadly, they are no longer being made. Glad I got mine when I did.
Big bummer! 👎 I guess this video is now only here to tease people 😉

Max height this tent will work for?
It's 230cm long, or about 7 and a half feet. It is 150cm high at its peak height; just under 3 and a half feet.
hello jason, i enjoyed your video, Is it hot if I use mesh doors in summer?
Any time may be hot in summer if you don't pitch in the shade. A mesh door will help and is better than not having one. Full mesh sides would be better to let a breeze through. But a tent with full mesh sides will never be good in the cold because there is no way to seal them up like a door. Tradeoffs in all things.

@@user-nj1cv7wk7j It changes due to the currency conversion rate. So, whatever I would post would change. But it's not cheap.

Do you use any of the optional vestibules? What do you do when it’s raining and can’t open the door?

@@alexl8328 I use new front stakes, let's me play with the pitch more. Glad I reviewed it in time for no one to be able to get it! 😂
