Prior to my Cimmaron purchase I also considered the 3 you have listed.The three tabs on my phone that I keep going back and forth on are the SO Silex, Tarptent Notch, and Durston Xmid 1. I really like all 3 of these with the Silex having a slight advantage being able to get a stove for it. Any thoughts?
after more research & considerations for my desired use & hunting conditions,
I opted to go floorless for the combination of weight, size, versatility. I opted for the Cimmaron over the Silex for the added
height & room after talking to a couple Silex users. I like to be able to move around & sit up away from my sleeping bag vs crawling around inside & on top of my sleeping bag. Also a bit more room to run a stove.
Also the Stove Jack option
as well as the ability to add a full or half nest is a bonus. Very versatile shelter for
1-2 people. I like the idea of putting a ground sheet down for my sleep system & having a floorless area for dirty boots, fire wood, Gear, & a warm stove.
I can use this shelter in a lot of different scenarios from truck camping with the wife, to Week long wilderness hunting, solo or
2 guys, with or without stove or nest.
ultimately a good investment.
I also have a DST tarp if I decide to go super light & move camp daily.
The DST can also be used as an awning
For the Cimmaron.
This system will cover all my needs.
