After deciding the X-Dome 1 was not for me (nice concept, good pitch, but I will wait for the 2p) I find myself in the market for a replacement. The issue I always seem to have is that for a larger guy (both height and width :) using a thicker pad, the nominal online measurments listed don't really accurately reflect how much room one actually has, ie regarding 84", 86" lengths, etc.
Using a 78" Topo Luxe 4" 30" wide pad (previously) and now using a 78" Neo Loft 4.5" 25" wide pad, I'm trying to decide which of the above models would work the best. I am in Florida and while I love the lightness and simplicty of a Single Wall DCF tent, I am looking at Double Wall options due to the constant condenstation issues we have down here. I am also leaning towards one of the trekking pole tents (X-Mid 2, DiPole 2) as I do suspect I will be picking up an X-Dome 2 whenever they become available next year.
I haven't completely ruled out a Single Wall version, as I suspect the Pro/Li version of any of these will offer more internal space on all axis' due to not having a net inner. And, having a nice light single wall to go along with the Double Wall X-Dome 2 that I plan to buy later does appeal to me as well. But Double Wall just seems to be the common choice around here due to condensation as mentioned.
So, of those in the subject, which would lend itself better to keep from toe box rub or face in the netting :). I am a fan of Dan and the X-Mid series, And did have a 2 Pro I regret selling tbh, but I do find interesting the DiPole Strut setup, which somewhat expensively re-creates what we used to do in scouting back in the day with the old "use a stick to prop up the side guy-outs" trick to gain more intenal space on those ole cheap Eureka A Frames lol.
