One Shelter, Set Up Three Ways
The X-Core N is a 2-person double-wall tent built around a lightweight duralumin frame, so the whole package packs down to 2.9kg (6.4 lb). Its front fly sets up three ways -- staked out as an open vestibule, propped up as an awning, or closed all the way to seal the tent against wind and rain -- so one shelter covers open-air lounging and full weather protection. A 20D nylon ripstop fly rated to 2,000mm, a separate mesh inner tent, and a propped top vent work together to shed rain and manage condensation as conditions change.
Details
Double-Wall Build, Detailed Where It Counts
PU-Coated, 2,000mm Waterproof
The fly and floor are PU-coated and rated to a 2,000mm waterhead, shedding rain and staying water-resistant.
Double-Wall Structure
A separate fly and inner tent create a double-wall build that buffers weather and helps manage condensation.
Breathable Inner Tent
Mesh panels on the inner tent move air through the interior, keeping it fresh on warm nights.
Spacious 2-Person Inner
The 210 x 150 x 110 cm (82.7 x 59.1 x 43.3 in) inner tent gives two people room to sit up and stretch out.
Easy Pole Holder
A pole-holder tip seats each pole quickly, making setup easier and more repeatable.
SR Buckle Quick Setup
SR buckles connect and tension the tent fast, cutting down setup and takedown time.
Top Ventilation
A propped vent at the top of the fly circulates air and helps minimize condensation inside.
Interior Mesh Pocket
A wall mesh pocket keeps a phone, headlamp, or small items off the floor and within reach.
Open Mesh Ceiling
Large mesh ceiling panels open the inner tent up for airflow and a clear view of the sky.
How It Works
Three Ways to Set the Front
Front Open
Open It Up for Air and Shade
Stake the front fly out as a vestibule or prop it up as an awning -- covered space for gear and cooking, with a clear view out and airflow through the tent.
Front Closed
Close It Down When Weather Turns
Bring the fly all the way down to seal the tent against wind and rain, with the 2,000mm 20D fly and top vent keeping the inside dry and breathable.

What to Know Before Buying
A 2-Person Double-Wall Tent With a Three-Way Front
A lightweight double-wall tent for two, with a front fly that sets up as an open vestibule, an awning, or a fully closed shelter.
Not a Winter Expedition Tent
The 20D nylon fly and 2,000mm waterhead prioritize low pack weight over the heavy fabrics and bulk of a mountaineering or winter tent.
2.9 kg (6.4 lb) Packed
Total weight is 2.9 kg (6.4 lb) for the fly, inner tent, ground sheet, duralumin poles, pegs, and guy lines together.
A Few Minutes to Pitch
Duralumin poles seat into pole-holder tips and SR buckles tension the tent quickly, so setup and takedown stay fast.
Freestanding, Ground Sheet Included
Pitches on its own with the included ground sheet -- no separate footprint or accessories required.
Standard KOVEA Warranty
Covered under KOVEA's manufacturer warranty per Korea Fair Trade Commission consumer dispute resolution standards.

From the curator
Why we carry it.
Most 2-person tents make you choose up front: an open, airy shelter or a sealed one for bad weather. The X-Core N's three-way front lets you decide on-site instead -- throw the fly open for a lake-view evening, then drop it closed when the wind picks up -- and it still packs to 2.9kg on duralumin poles. That flexibility, in Black or Tan, is why it earns a spot.
