Liteway says:
The first framed tent in our gear range: fully freestanding dome tent - X2 TENT.
It represents an outstanding balance in weight and interior volume - 970 g (full set with a frame), an absolutely ideal solution for two hikers with a small amount of gear or for a solo hiker with a large amount of equipment.
A fully freestanding tent, under perfect weather conditions it does not require additional fixation to the ground, but if necessary it can easily be fixed with 4 stakes to the ground and 6 storm guylines.
Tent setup is very simple and requires minimal time. Please note that the left pole of the frame must be installed first (the place is marked with a label with number "1").
The height at the top of the tent is 110 cm, which allows comfortable sitting inside and, for example, cooking meals.
The double entrance consists of two layers: mesh fabric and the main tent material, which can be opened independently from each other and are equipped with a two-way zipper. The doors can easily be opened with one hand and, when open, are fixed with a magnetic fastener.
The frame of the tent is a perfect combination of weight and strength. The 9.02UL Ultralight Poles by Yunan from a top South Korean manufacturer of aluminum tent poles. The full set also includes a repair tube for quick repairs in harsh field conditions.
Two internal pockets on the side walls near the entrance allow you to store essential items and keep them close to you. And a quickly removable double pocket-shelf at the peak above the head for drying clothes and gear.
Full set includes specifically designed footprint with a weight of 105 g only.
Seams of the shelter are non-sealed. For seams sealing we recommend sealant based on silicone, which is included to the set.
Setup
- Lay out the tent on the ground
- First insert the left pole (section) of the frame into the special sleeve (marked with a label with a number "1") all the way to the end and secure the other end of the section in the small pocket located in the corner of the tent
- Repeat the same steps with the pole (section) on the right side (marked with a label with a number "2")
- If necessary, fix the tent to the ground with 4 stakes
- In stormy weather, secure the tent with an additional 6 storm guylines with Lineloc adjusters
- Open the ventilation window (please note that single-wall tents require special attention to ventilation under certain conditions
- For additional ventilation, install the elastic cord at the entrance
