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.
The Crux X1 Assault takes the 3 pole design of the X1 Strike mountain tent but adds an external porch for storage, cooking and thus increased comfort. The tent has a relatively small footprint so that it will pitch in small spaces between boulders but the addition of the porch means that although the body of the tent is fully self-supporting the porch will need pegging out making it less friendly for use on snow.
