Featured Product: Cimarron Tent

Posted by Ryan McSparran on 8th Jun 2016

It’s one of our newer products, but the Cimarron tent has quickly become a customer favorite. This versatile tent is quick to set up and performs in a wide range of demanding conditions. Here’s a look at the Cimarron and some of its notable features.

First, the Cimarron tent is unique in its design. Unlike our traditional tipi tents, this tent is a pyramid/tipi hybrid with a rectangular shape at the base instead of being totally round. This does a few important things. First, the rectangle design  and subtle angles create more usable space space, making this a very comfortable feeling tent. The subtle angles also reduce flat-sided wind loading. Next, the pyramid style design makes it very easy and quick to set up.

On a more technical level, the design features minimal bias-to-bias seams. Most Pyramid shelters have four bias-to-bias seams which require guy-out points to stabilize. Our design on the Cimarron results in only two bias-to-bias seams, which results in better stability and performance without using guy-out points. Our bias seams do have guy-out points to maximize interior space.

The Cimarron has two entrances and a max height of about six feet, making it a very functional and liveable shelter. It's easy to get in and out of the tent with multiple people. At 94 square feet, the Cimarron provides a very comfortable living space. This tent can sleep four without a stove, or two to three people with a stove, depending on the amount of gear.

     

     

The best news? All of that space, height, access and comfort comes at a canopy weight of just 2 pounds, 4 ounces! There are multiple pole options, but throw in our carbon pole at 10.4 ounces and a set of stakes at 5 ounces and you have an incredibly roomy backcountry setup for a little over 3 pounds!

The Cimarron is also compatible with our ultralight titanium wood stoves and the optional stove jack can be installed here at the shop. Our medium stove makes a great fit for the size of this tent and we offer a Cimarron/Medium Stove Bundle option. The medium stove weighs in at just 2 pounds, 6 ounces with six feet of stovepipe, making it easy to turn your Cimarron into an all-season workhorse.
