The Crux X1 Raid SL is the superlight version of the standard X1 Raid. The SL models represent Crux's new signature “expedition” range – available only in gold with a big logo printed on the side. The SL uses a lighter 20 denier nylon face fabric that is laminated with their X-tex membrane, making it the lightest single-wall, condensation-beating tent. Crux only recommend the SL if weight is of absolute importance – for a saving of 250g, you get a tent that will only last half as long as the standard model.
The Lightwave S15 Sigma is the first of a new generation of single-wall tents where it can be truly said that condensation is no longer a problem. It is made from a lighter version of the X-tex fabric launched by Lightwave's sister-brand crux for its range of X1 mountain bivouac tents. The s15 sigma is a simple 2-pole dome with a third short transverse pole to stiffen the structure, increase the internal volume and create a steeper entrance wall/door.
Established in 1977
