The Cinder Cone elevates the pyramid category with superior ventilation, livability, and setup. It excels everywhere from ambitious ski touring objectives to river trips to ultralight backpacking. The Cinder Cone hits the sweet spot for an ultralight, spacious, and reliable shelter that disappears into your pack when you're on the move.

Slingfin's main goal was to create the best-pitching pyramid on the market. They borrowed a reinforcement technique from the parachute industry called Radial Seam Tape, in which we insert a strip of polyester webbing inside all four corner seams to eliminate bias stretch, creating perfectly tensioned side panels and maintaining structural integrity when the nylon elongates in wet conditions.

Another goal was to make the best ventilated pyramid available. Our dual upper thru-vents and large low vent provide more airflow than peak vents, and our novel Perimeter Pull Vents allow the bottom edges to be pulled up in the center, creating a chimney effect when paired with the upper vents that minimizes condensation.

Finally, to make the Cinder Cone the easiest pyramid to set up, they added a Dyneema "Quick-Pitch" cord from corner to corner. The Quick-Pitch cord sets the correct distance between the corners, giving you a perfect pitch every time and avoiding the dreaded "Rhombus". If you've set up a mid before, you get it. The Quick-Pitch cord can be easily unclipped when the tent is in use.

The ALUULA™ top cap reinforcement has the best durability of any lightweight fabric on the market and allows the Cinder Cone to be set up with ski poles, trekking poles, a kayak paddle, a carbon I-pole, or anything else you can dream up. To set up the Cinder Cone with ski poles or trekking poles, use two of our SlingFin Voile Straps to strap your pole handles together.

The Cinder Cone can be paired with the Cinder Cone Mesh Body for a luxuriously spacious ultralight summer backpacking shelter or with the Cinder Cone Tub Floor for sleeping on wet ground in bug-free conditions.
