Lightweight Tipi Tent

[Tyler_White]

Does anyone have any input or experience with the Luxe or LiteOutdoors tipi tents? As far as quality of material and build quality. Leaning towards LiteOutdoors for the very reason he is located in Alberta and would rather support someone local. Thanks in advance.

You may have already looked into this company but "seekoutside" makes lightweight backcountry tipis as well. I have one and it works great; also has stove options for colder weather hunts while still keeping it light weight.

Should find some info using the search function to for all these brands.

Which model do you have?

I have the lite outdoors 4 person model, what I like about it is the snow flaps on it if your in the wind this is the best tent I have, along with ti goat 7.5 I also have the cattle mountain tipi from , aliexpress.com its just like the tigoat model, but cheaper.

I have the cimmaron. Comfy for two people, gear and stove. 3/4 ppl no stove. Has held up well on a handful of sheep hunts with some nasty weather days.

I’ve got the Lite outdoors plateau and it’s an excellent shelter. Tons of room for two guys plus gear with the stove. Well made and like Nimrod said the snow flaps are awesome when the wind picks up.

I have also been looking at the tipi tent and hot tent set up. Looked at seek and love the look of them. But also wouldn’t mine supporting liteoutdoors because it’s an Alberta based company, as long as it is comparable to the seek outside quality. Would the liteoutdoors have enough room for a guy on a cot with 2 dogs in there? Was hoping to be able to fit a cot in for when I’m truck camping but also be able to pack in when desired. Is there anyone around the Calgary/airdrie area with a set up I could come check out. I could supply beer for your time.

I just purchased the isola and stove from lite outdoors. It hasn't shipped yet, but when it arrives I can take some close up photos and give some impressions. I'm just north of Edmonton.

Before purchasing I marked out the floor dimensions of both the plateau and isola with masking tape. Then used a 2x4 as a pole and laid a tarp over. I'm mostly a late season solo hunter that's why I'm giving the isola a try.

I emailed lite outdoors with some questions and they were very prompt and even responded on the weekend. They also informed me that they have a lighter and stronger model in both tents which I purchased. So far they've been great to deal with and there local.

This will be my first hot tent combo. I've used a bivy/tarp, snugpak ionosphere and the black diamond Eldorado in the past. Switching it up depending on the hunt. I looked at Seek and Luxe and figured if LO makes a great stove, might as well give them a shot.

Cheers

Anyone try the lightweight version of the liteoutdoors plateau 5? Hold up as well as the standard version?

[calgarychef]

A bell tent made of the same material as the teepee tents would be the bomb.
More useable floor space etc. I’ve looked quite a bit for that kind of tent but haven’t found one. There’s all kinds of bell tents available in canvas, why not synthetics?

The Lite Outdoors setup comes in a bit cheaper than the Seek Outside models too.
Would really like to get into a Isola with a stove for the 23 season myself.

Quite a bit cheaper for sure, especially with our exchange rate. Always prefer shopping local when I have the option as well

I have the lightweight Plateau 5, the tent is wicked and holds up well in the snow and wind. Use the liner or you get condensation (and will in any single wall shelter)

I only have about 25 days in it but no complaints so far.

I have not heard anything good about Luxe … Seek has a good reputation.

Thanks for the info on that. Think I will go that route then

here are my tents, the white ones are the cattle model off ali express , green is the lite outdoors 4 man, and the brown one is a luxe 4 man, all have stove holes, i also have 4 titanium wood stoves

Argali recently put out a really nice tipi also just another option. I have a seek cimmaron and I love it.

[Bighunterification]

+2 on the Cimarron. We used it this year on a mule deer backpacking hunt. It is a pretty slick tent and was very easy to set up. I have not tried any other Tipi tents so my experience and opinion is limited to the SeekOutside.

Well got my setup today. Needless to say I’m happy.
