Start with Taiji 1 for a solo sleeper, Taiji 2 for a pair whose pads fit its floor, and Taiji 3 for two campers wanting more room or three campers after a layout check. The shared attraction is a frame-supported design with connected but detachable inner and fly for simultaneous pitching. The main buying differences are usable space, headroom, complete carrying load and campsite footprint. Do not rely on the retailer's Taiji 3 body copy calling it a two-person tent: its title and brand capacity record need to be read together with the dimensions.

Included components and inner variant must be confirmed. ² Dimensions transcribed from retailer diagrams; not a guarantee of usable sleeping-bag clearance.

Taiji 1: a shaped solo floor
Taiji 1's floor is not a 110 cm-wide rectangle. The retailer diagram gives a maximum width of 110 cm and narrower 70 cm ends along its 212 cm length. This matters when you plan where to place a pack or use a wide rectangular pad. The listed 95 cm inner peak is lower than the other Taiji sizes, so compare it with your seated height on an inflated pad. Choose it because the actual solo layout works, not simply because the name contains “1”.
Taiji 2: practical access, but check wide pads
The current retailer drawing gives 210 × 130 cm for the inner floor and 115 cm inner height. Two 64 cm pads use almost all that width. The brand record instead lists 215 × 135 × 120 cm, so selecting the larger dimensions and the retailer's lower weight would create an unverified hybrid specification. Confirm the supplied version. The written two-entrance design is useful for shared access, but it does not create extra sleeping width.
Taiji 3: deliberate extra room
Taiji 3 lists a 220 × 210 cm inner and 125 cm inner peak. Three 64 cm pads total 192 cm, leaving 18 cm nominally across the width. That is a stronger starting point for pad fit, though wall shape and sleeping-bag clearance still matter. For two people, the extra space may be the reason to choose it. Check its 245 × 330 cm outer diagram and allow additional anchor space before booking a small platform.
Read the weight column carefully
The retailer minimums are 1450, 1760 and 2260 g. The brand separately lists Taiji 1 at 1870 g total and Taiji 3 at 2800 g total, while Taiji 2 has a 1950 g minimum-trail figure with specified core components. These labels have different scopes and have not been matched to each current retailer variant. No valid complete-weight comparison comes from treating them as interchangeable.
Best for / Not ideal for
| Model | Best for | Not ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| Taiji 1 | Solo trips where external-pole setup and attached inner/fly pitching matter | Buyers needing maximum seated headroom or a verified storm rating |
| Taiji 2 | Two-person trips prioritizing linked inner/fly pitching and cross-pole structure | Two wide pads with generous side clearance; a guaranteed sub-2 kg complete kit |
| Taiji 3 | Two campers wanting more indoor room or three campers after a pad-layout check | Solo weight-minimizing trips or small platforms without footprint confirmation |
Frequently asked questions
Should two people always buy Taiji 2?
No. Taiji 3 can be the more suitable comfort choice when two pads and gear make the smaller floor restrictive.
Is Taiji 3 automatically stronger because it is larger?
No. Capacity is not a structural rating, and no matched wind test was established.
Are these 2026 versions?
The checked pages do not establish explicit 2026 generations. The Taiji 1/2 vent update mentions pre-2023 designs, which is a different claim.
