Samaya Radical 3

[eeelip]

Anybody have first hand experience with the Samaya Radical 3 tent? Seems like about the most expensive tent on the market but the weight is insane…

No. But here is another option similar in all specs.  Due to the yen vs the dollar makes it bargain a compared to that tent.  Looks like there is another order window in July.

I have a Locus Gear tent (not this one), and the quality is top notch.

Great find. Will keep an eye out for these as well. We have been using the Eldorado, but it is very heavy compared to these new DCF tents.

I have the Eldorado too.  These tents seem to even pack lighter.  My Eldorado does really well with minimalizing condensation.  What about condensation inside these tents?  Anybody know?

I have Samaya Assaut 2 Ultra and Assaut2 8K.  Both are great, but Assaut 2 Ultra was my main tent on two 8,000 meter expeditions.  Locus Gear-Djedi DCF-B is missing very important information on their web site, which is: Water Column and Breathability.  This is something Samaya does clearly state on their web site.

Yes, I possess tents Samaya 3.0, vestibule & footprint. Also the 2.5 with dyneema vestibule & footprint. They are the best alpine four seasons solutions for dedicated climbers, alpinists & mountaineering. The technology, design & light weight meets at the axis of the products high price. A little heard of young company Samaya located in Annency France for which you may additionally pay import duty. 

Myself, 6’3” 235lbs, big man, especially find the size of the 3.0, the wind sheer load strength, four poles, snow apron, fits me best. However, the smaller 2.5 Tent, 3-poles, dyneema vestibule a wonderful system that hardly weighs anything. Both tents are single wall four season tents🏕️ You won’t go wrong, but remember itis an investment so be dedicated to your pursuits & safety. 
A lot of people like Hilleberg, North Face, Mountain Hardware, MSR all double wall tents. None of which are cheap either. You don’t have to carry 10-12lbs. of tent anymore! Less than 8lbs tent, vestibule & footprint all included Samaya 3.0 is an 8K-range tent that can handle any kind of storm. The Samaya 2.5tent, vestibule & footprint 5.25lbs. Both great architecture, built in pockets, venting, ease of use in the field.
Recommend reading, “Feeding The Rat Expedition Reviews”, for more honest evaluation & approach to manifest your outdoor arsenal strategies. Again it’s a big decision making the financial plunge. One you should carefully save for. You won’t regret this adventure decision. It’s just right as an outdoorsman summiteer.

How do you feel about using a Samaya 2.5 for denali?  It would be for just me, and I'm reluctant to carry up one of my 8 lbs 2/3 person tents.  I would of course be building walls, but snow loading is a concern.  I could also do a Samaya 2.0.  The 3.0 is an option but the weight is significantly more and not sure I'm gaining much over my regular tents (marmot midgard or msr remote).

I would not bring Samaya 2.5 for high camps.  Base Camp--yes.  For high camps, Radical 3 or Assaut 2 Ultra.  If you are interested, I have both of those tents (Radical 3 and Assaut 2 Ultra) for sale, new, original package, tags, never setup.  The Assaut 2 Ultra is a special model, because it also includes Syclone poles, along with the carbon poles.

I'm in US if you want to talk more.
