Description

The Crux X1 Assault is a two person single-skin tent, an external porch version of the X1 Strike, featuring a sheltered entrance and small cooking area. Like its siblings, the X1 Raid and X1 Strike, it uses their new X-tex fabric which they say has significant improvements and advantages over the existing PTFE-type breathable membrane fabrics that are currently used in most other single skin tets (ie condensation build up in mild conditions).

The Assault is built around the same pole configuration as the X1 Strike (2 diagonal poles in external pole-sleeves + 1 internal pole at the head of the tent), but also features a small porch. The Assault thereby addresses one of the vulnerabilities of single-skin tents by providing full protection for the actual tent door. The porch, made of translucent Cuben fabric, also offers a useful covered storage area. As on all the X1 models, the guy points loop around the poles themselves, taking stress directly off the seams.

Covered porch area.
Third pole for extra headroom.
Central roof vent.
Mesh panel in door.

Please note that this tent no longer has a "doughnut" tie-in point. This is not because it is not a good idea, but that Rab own the patent to it.
