Product Description

The Coleman Exponent Krax X1 is a compact, reliable 3-season tent. Ultralight and well ventilated, this solo tent is perfect for backpacking enthusiasts. It features an innovative fly-first design, allowing the tent to stay dry even when setting up in the rain: the fly contains the pole structure and is pitched first, then the inner tent is clipped to the fly. The Kraz X1 measures 94" x 40", with a peak height of 37". The vestibule provides an extra 6.1 square feet of storage space. The fly is made of tear-resistant, coated, UV-protected polyester ripstop; the inner tent uses breathable, non-coated polyester to reduce condensation, with a nylon taffeta floor. The Kraz X1 tent features premium, aircraft-quality aluminum poles that are lightweight and compact yet provide excellent strength and stability. The zipper cuffs sport reflective trims for nighttime visibility; reflective fibers are also woven into the guylines. Compression carry bag included. Pack weight 3 pounds 7 ounces; minimum trail weight just 3 pounds 0.6 ounces.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME tent! Best I've ever had!, September 29, 2009

This review is from: Coleman Exponent Kraz X1 Tent (Sports)

First off, let me tell you I'm a Boy Scout, and I used this on a recent campout. That campout was not your ordinary campout, it rained 2 to 3 inches during that time, which is not very ordinary. However, I was in this tent, and it stayed remarkably dry while other campers had an inch or so of water in their tent.

While we were setting up our tents, it started raining. But, because this tent is so easy and fast to set up, I had it set up before a drop of rain had fallen in it.

I stored my gear in the porch (there's some other fancy name for it, but whatever), and it also stayed really dry.

Speaking of gear, I stowed a bunch of it in a handy little pocket in the head of the tent, which I really turned out loving.

My favorite part about this tent is that the rainfly is an inch or so away from the mesh in some places, so the condensation would stick on the rainfly instead of on the walls of my tent like in my other tent, a mammoth 3 man.

The only thing I don't like about this tent is that you really can't move in and out of it at lighting speeds like in an average 2 to 3 man dome tent, as with this tent you have to go throught the rainfly and the mesh.

Another nice thing about this tent is that when I pack it its bag, there's still room for my ground cloth! Hooray! I love that. However, I did have to make my own ground cloth. That was easy, though.

Since I've bought this tent, they've renamed it, which makes no sense; the old name was better.

Anyywayyy, this is the best tent I've ever had!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Tent for Motorcycle Camping, September 27, 2009

POLES: Nice and light. It's practically impossible to err with these poles and they nearly assemble themselves.

PEGS: A funny thing to comment to on, but I found them to be strong and lightweight. I was surprised with their quality and Coleman includes the correct amount to properly stake out the tent (not always the case with more costly tents).

VESTIBULE: Basically for boots and that's about it.

MESH: Pretty perfect. I like to stargaze and this tent gives as nice an opportunity as you could ever want.

RAINFLY: Although there are advantages to a brightly-colored fly, I really like the color of this one and it works. It also employs my favorite kind of buckles for securing to the tent.

SIZE / WEIGHT: Here is the real beauty of this thing. It's packed size is a mere 18X7 and it only weighs 2 1/2 pounds!

DISCLAIMER: Some of the reviewers over 6ft tend to comment that this tent is too cramped. That may be. I am a smallish adult so it works beautifully for me.

I found this item on another website a year ago and have used it every season since. It's a great light alternative to most other tents, and if you're like me and are willing to experience a little cramped quarters for the sake of dropping ounces, you'll like this.
