The X3 is AlpineForge's flagship 2-person backpacking tent — engineered for alpinists who refuse to compromise between weight and weather protection. Built with a DAC Featherlight aluminum pole system and 30D ripstop rainfly, it handles everything from summer snowstorms in the Cascades to late-season alpine conditions in the Rockies.
The freestanding geodesic design resists wind loading from multiple directions, making it reliable above treeline when gusts pick up unexpectedly. A full-coverage rainfly with two vestibules (7 sq ft each) keeps your boots and gear dry while maintaining interior airflow through dual vestibule vents.
Interior: 29 sq ft floor area, 42 in peak height — enough to sit up and change layers without contorting. Color-coded pole clips make for a 4-minute pitch even in the dark.
