This ultralight Dyneema® fabric pyramid tent is elegantly designed, ruggedly built, and falls into a very interesting space spec-wise. At 21 oz for the canopy and able to be pitched with linked trekking poles, this tent is light enough to be considered for UL solo trips, yet big enough for four person summer trips, or two person hot tent trips.
Handmade in Grand Junction, CO.
Dyneema® will not burn or propagate a flame however it does have a lower melting point. Due to the lower melting point, we recommend you do NOT use anything that inhibits sparks from moving away from your tent such as a rain cap. We also do not recommend burning duraflame logs, or real pitchy wood or accelerants that can create a lot of soot. Use a spark arrestor. For the Cimarron a slightly longer stove pipe is not a bad idea (such as 6.5 or 7 ft) .
When using a wood stove in your Dyneema® tent, please be aware of the potential risks of heat damage. Dyneema, while incredibly strong and lightweight, is not heat-resistant and can melt or weaken when exposed to high temperatures. Prolonged heat from a stove or chimney, or direct contact with sparks or embers, can cause irreversible damage to the tent fabric, compromising its integrity and performance.
To minimize risks:
Always use a stove jack and heat-resistant barriers where the chimney passes through the tent.
Maintain proper clearance between the stove, chimney, and tent walls.
Monitor the stove constantly and ensure adequate ventilation.
Dyneema® tents are a significant investment, and heat damage is not covered under warranty. For your safety and to protect your tent, we recommend exercising extreme caution.
The Cimarron is a rectangle based structure and is therefore easy to pitch.
