The CrossBow is back in stock and shipping now!
Despite its weather worthiness, the CrossBow's minimum weight can get as low as 3lb 15.6oz by switching the WebTruss out for the included DAC twist clips (4lb 2oz minimum weight with the WebTruss), and weighs only 5lb 2oz all-in, including enough stakes and guylines for all the external guy points.
With a breathable nylon canopy and numerous venting options, the CrossBow Four-Season protects its occupants against spindrift and dust while keeping condensation to a minimum. The CrossBow Four-Season is perfect for backcountry ski tours, alpine climbing, and river trips of all varieties. Because of the dust-proof canopy fabric and excellent wind resistance, the CrossBow Four-Season also makes a fantastic tent for desert camping.
Want a breezier experience in warmer weather that still provides bug protection and ample strength? The updated CrossBow Mesh Body accessory swaps out your ripstop inner tent for an airy mesh one that's still compatible with both the WebTruss or DAC twist clips, making your CrossBow a true year-round quiver killer.
Thanks to the WebTruss, the CrossBow pitches easily in high winds. Unlike pole sleeves, which can lead to pole breakage during the pitching process in windy conditions, the WebTruss allows you to fully set up and tension the pole structure before clipping the tent body to the poles. This system provides much more strength for the weight than traditional clip-style tents. With internal guyline compatibility and our OutRigger attachment, the CrossBow can be further strengthened against harsh winds or snow loading using the included guylines and your own trekking poles.
The CrossBow can be used with a footprint, which can also be used to set up the CrossBow without the tent body for an ultralight fly-only pitch.
