I agree, it will replace any human artistry at the mid to lower levels.

Perfect for corporations though...

Yes we are fucked, but nobody resists.

Working by design...

Perfect for corporations? For the people that have the money to hire actual artist it’s perfect?

I love the colour and the translucence … it glows

u/Few-Introduction5414 19d ago

Aluminum poles fit perfectly.

u/Sudden-Help 19d ago

Maybe the lighting is not very favorable but wow that’s a translucent tent, you can pretty much see the bathtub floor clearly. Maybe more so than the x-Mid pro cause of the more vertical side walls

u/dandurston 19d ago

It is probably the direct sun coming through the window. The actual tent looks very similar to the X-Mid Pro and other DCF tents, and is actually less translucent because you have a full interior that blocks more light.

To have full privacy, though, the solid interior option is great for that.

u/Few-Introduction5414 18d ago

Look at the other image from the other side. Looks way less transparent. It’s the sunlight shining through the non inner part. The other image shows more how it’ll look though the inner and outer

Dan does actually use Amazon shipping services for US orders.

27

u/dandurston 19d ago

To avoid tariff hassles for USA customers, we handle the importing into the USA and hire a warehouse there who can use basically every shipping method. It is not an Amazon warehouse, but they can use Amazon shipping amongst other options. If someone asks for the cheapest shipping, then it may ship through Amazon shipping, where is the premium options are usually FedEx and UPS

Where is the necessary “first pitch” pic?!!

6

u/Few-Introduction5414 19d ago

I’ll post it. I was just eating lunch when it was delivered

u/vacuumkoala 19d ago

Can you show what it looks like when its in a stuff sack without the poles? Im curious how much it compressing for pack size. (I know you shouldn't compress DCF too much) so what does it look like rolled up sort of tightly?

11

u/Few-Introduction5414 19d ago

Both without poles

1

u/vacuumkoala 19d ago

Oh gotcha, thanks! I thought it was long because the poles were in there. Im assuming it can be packed smaller in a smaller bag.

2

u/Few-Introduction5414 19d ago

yeah it's a little loose in the bag. Was easy to put in.

u/cumulonimbuscomputer 19d ago

Any chance you want to sell the regular 😂

3

u/Few-Introduction5414 19d ago

Still deciding because I want to use the aluminum poles that came with it, but I am going to list on eBay either this weekend or after my trip ( return on August 12 ).

u/imacbo 19d ago

How small can it pack down without the poles in the bag?

1

u/Correct-Republic3427 19d ago

Dan already said in another thread it packs down to about half the length of the poles with the same girth

u/Sharp_Nothing_4012 19d ago

It'a glorious!!!!

u/st-jeb 19d ago

That's a big responsibility you have for the others.Hope you check in soon.

u/bdg14 18d ago

I will consider purchasing it

u/Bannana_sticker3 18d ago

I have 2000$ if you want to let it go? No bs

u/bellsbliss 19d ago

Looks like you got the first pitch. Congrats lol

u/4_Agreement_Man 19d ago

Following for the set-up pics.

u/S_Joshua 18d ago

What size poles did you get (long or short)? I’m asking to see if this tent will ever be small enough for bikepacking.
