QUBE TENTS DRIVER

M2C appears to be aiming the Qubes at recreational car campers and festival campers, so we'd imagine it'll have an audience of folks who aren't worried about having an expedition-level tent built up to survive high-alpine colds and winds.ДЇor that type of customer, the Qube has a primary selling point that the average dome in your local camping store doesn't: its modular, interconnectable design. Perhaps we're just not that modest вЂ“ if we want to stand up while throwing pants on, we can always do so outside the tent.Д«ut if you can think back on days spent camping and realize that all or most of them were in clear, still weather, perhaps storm-ready performance doesn't have to be your first worry. Standing up is nice, but we're not sure it's not so nice that we want to give up the advantages of a dome tent for a broadsided cube. In many compact dome tents, you won't be able to stand at all, and if you can, it may only be toward the very center at the highest point. While the tall, straight sides of the Qube look anything but ideal for a windstorm, they do offer one very clear advantage, rising between around 7 to over 8 feet (2.1 to over 2.4 m) to offer standing levels of headroom in every size of Qube tent, from two- to four-person. The company also says the design packs down easily, unlike a lot of other tents, which can require some technique to roll, pack and stuff back into the carry bag. The clip we watched is sped up, though, so it's hard to tell exactly how quick and easy set-up would be for a neophyte вЂ“ we'd have to actually try it to know for sure. M2C advertises a set-up time of under two minutes, and its video shows an integrated fiberglass-pole structure basically unfolding and erecting into place. The Pod was created purely as a larger, more premium offering, so in attempting to bring price down, M2C created a whole new design, aiming the lower pricing and quick, simple set-up at a broader customer base. A lot of people liked the idea of modular, interconnectable tents but didn't like the Pod tent pricing, which starts at US$625 for the four-person model, as listed today.

QUBE TENTS DRIVER

M2C explains on its website that the main driver behind creating an all-new tent was feedback from consumers. They're also more affordable than M2C's original tents and are proving quite popular on crowdfunding.

Like Pods, these modular tents connect together with tunnels and create larger tent communities. The new Qube tents are quick-setup blocks that offer enough height to stand up inside. The last time we checked in, they were focused on domes, but now they've moved on to Qubes. The social campers over at M2C Innovation are back doing what they do: building modular tents that link up into full-blown campsite communities.
