The Crux X1 Raid is a simple and lightweight single-skin tent that can sleep two people. It's a conventional two pole, Bibler-style bivvy tent with a design that makes it great for serious high mountain use. It uses Crux's unique X-Tex fabric which uses a coating with activated carbon, this introduces a new and revolutionary means of managing condensation that's greatly superior to conventional breathable membranes.
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.
