SlingFin Cinder Cone 4 Tub Floor

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A useful addition to the Cinder Cone 4P that boosts protection and adds flexibility for changing conditions. Lightweight, simple and well thought out.

SlingFin says: 

The Cinder Cone Tub Floor pairs with your Cinder Cone to provide a clean and dry sleeping area for up to four people. Its full-width tub sidewalls protect against splashback and the floor can be rolled back halfway and toggled in place to provide sleeping space for two plus a generously sized gear storage area.

Our Verdict

The SlingFin Cinder Cone 4 Tub Floor adds practical ground protection to the already capable pyramid shelter. Weighing just 346g, it’s made from 20D nylon ripstop with a PE coating, offering a 1800mm hydrostatic head and a reassuring level of splashback protection thanks to its 25cm tub sidewalls. It clips into the tent’s corners and stays attached for fast deployment. I like that it can be rolled halfway back and toggled in place, making it useful for wet gear storage or cooking outside the sleeping space. The drawcord opening at the centre accommodates trekking pole baskets without forcing the fabric, and stake loops let you tension it out more securely if needed. While it’s only designed for the Cinder Cone 4, it completes the setup nicely and suits everything from wet-weather backpacking to basecamp use. An adaptable, waterproof insert that brings the Cinder Cone 4P closer to a full four-season setup.
