Snow Peak's Landlock X Arrives in the US, Stove Not Included

The first major update to the two-room Landlock in nearly 20 years costs $1,999.95. Burning wood inside it takes a stove and fly cover sold only in Japan so far; there, the pair runs about $3,285.

Snow Peak's Landlock X went on sale in the United States on September 21, 2026, for $1,999.95 at Snow Peak stores and snowpeak.com, the company said. It replaces the Landlock, the Japanese brand's long-running two-room shelter, after debuting in Japan in June; Gear Patrol calls it the first significant update to the design in nearly two decades.

The idea is the same: one large shelter with a living area at one end and a sleeping room at the other, for four people. What changes is how it goes up and how it lives. The new frame, made with pole maker DAC from its high-strength DA17 aluminum in a slate-gray finish, stands on its own earlier in setup and is built to handle more wind. There are more ways in, a skylight in the roof and large mesh panels for light and airflow, and Snow Peak says the inside offers about 10 percent more room on the same footprint, roughly 20 and a half by 13 and a quarter feet. The redesigned inner tent sleeps two or four and can hang at either end of the shelter. Korogi, a U.S. dealer, lists the whole package at 56.2 pounds.

The headline feature for cold-weather campers is a chimney port: Snow Peak built the Landlock X to take its wood-burning tent stoves. That is still a future option in the U.S. The company says its tent stoves are scheduled to arrive here in early 2027, and it has not announced a U.S. date or price for the stove made for this class of shelter, the MK Stove.

In Japan, the MK Stove went on sale January 11, 2025, at ¥390,500 including tax. Co-developed with the South Korean stovemaker Wood & Burn, it has large heat-resistant glass on both long sides to watch the fire, loading doors at each end, room for three or four splits of wood and an optional guard for cooking on top; Japanese reviewers put its weight around 26 kilograms, about 57 pounds. At today's rate of about 157.7 yen to the dollar, its price works out to roughly $2,476.

Using the stove inside the Landlock X also requires the Landlock X Fly Cover TC, a cotton-blend outer layer that covers the whole fly to hold heat, cut condensation and help protect the shelter from sparks. Snow Peak Japan lists it at ¥127,600 including tax, about $809 at the same rate. Together, the stove and fly cover come to about $3,285 at Japanese prices, on top of the tent.

Those conversions use the October 27, 2026, exchange rate and Japanese prices, which include Japan's 10 percent consumption tax. They do not include shipping, import duties or U.S. sales tax, and they are not U.S. prices, which Snow Peak has not set. Wood stoves inside any tent call for a carbon monoxide alarm and the maker's instructions.
