BTW, soon there will be anothe DCF Tarptent.
This time it is a double and still 2 walls. (modular so you can just use the fly if you like)

Any specs on it? I have the Notch Li and am enjoying it. Wish it had a little more room though.

Henry is having some fun flying his drone and the video clip does help in giving a much better idea of its shape.

I have a sil nylon Notch and have considered moving up to a ZPacks Duplex, not just to save weight, but also to get something a little roomier and the performance of CF. However I must admit that I've grown to appreciate the ease of setting up a tent with only 4 tent stakes. The large number of stakes needed for other tents has made me think twice. I think I will stick with my current tent for now.

This is the tent I have been wanting for, well, like forever...a modular DCF tent. I always liked the design of the SS but hate silnylon for the outer wall and I need something more designed for the Scottish weather now I'm moving back to the UK. What is the comparison in usable floor/head space when compared to the Duplex?

oops, I just drooled a little bit.

I'm curious what a Protrail would weigh in cuben... If it could compete with zpacks single wall tents.

It might be competitive weight-wise, but because of it's end entry design vs Zpacks side entry, It would still be an inferior shelter.

This is the floor plan of the SS Li

There is a 3D clip on the product page, under Usable Volume, with two 6' dummies inside.

It depends on what you like.
There are other factors , for example the ProTrail has a relatively small footprint and only needs 4 stakes without guyllines in decent weather.

Well I ordered the SS Li. Now I'm anxiously waiting for the shipping confirmation.

I know you’re going to love it. It’s a 2 person right?
I do have the real double wall inner tent. Maybe that helps stop the sag and no condensation on my bag.
Who knows. I love it. If I remember my earplugs in the rain!

I'm semi-interested in a Dyneema Notch fly if that were to be made available separately(have both inners and a ZPacks Solo cuben floor, already). All else being equal, cost per oz. saved is nearly $35 in that instance, but I'm more interested in it not stretching or taking on water than anything. My Notch fly does not actually need replacing, having no damage, and a seam being resealed plus some silicone spray being the only "repairs" it's received after 6yrs and probably in the neighborhood of 300 nights' use.

I'm at a point where weight no longer really matters, but won't pretend that the idea of a 15oz total shelter system(using the Solo floor) doesn't still have some appeal! That's freaking awesome for what is, to me, a very liveable 1p shelter.
