Product Description

Designed to be the best double-wall solo shelter supported by trekking poles, the X-Mid is the brainchild of Dan Durston, an experienced thru-hiker and established member of the ultralight community. It aims to solve the common issues seen in trekking-pole-supported tents: Most are single-trekking-pole pyramids, which lack headroom, or overly complex multi-pole designs, which are tedious to pitch Read More

Unbeatable light weight option

Perfect little tent for a few nights out bikepacking. Easy to set up and pack up, extremely surprised at how well it functions. Dual access, stable in wind and plenty of storage space in the vestibules. Plus you'll be hard pressed to find a dual wall tent in as light weight package, even including a couple of hiking poles.

Brilliant Tent at a superb price

Perfect. A weight, price and quality that matches the best around. I have been through several one man tents over the years. One of my key goals is to reduce the carry weight, maximise internal space and have a tent able to stand up to a Scottish winter. This tent by Dan does the lot! I sleep on a long wide mattress, which often limits which tents I can look at. Also, so often with ultralight tents, they are single skin, where as this offered full double skin. ITs design puts on equal par with a select few others that are at a much higher premium. It is well designed and thought out, loft space above the sleeping area, extra guy lines if needed, and even better, plenty of porch space (both sides) to put bags, boots and cook. Well done Dan! Highly recommended by me.

it has every basic necessities

It is light and compact, but still has every basic thing you want from tents. Materials are pretty good and I did not have any trouble without additional floorprint. It wasn't too hot nor cold. Though I felt it was a bit small, it was my decision to buy 1-person tent, so cannot complain there.

Works flawlessly and very lighweight.

I would also add that my experience with tents has been sharing them with my dad while on hikes and this one feels massive for a one person tent. Love the covered space it gives to protect your stuff from rain on the sides of the tent.

great tent

I used this tent this year on Section A and B of the PCT Late April 2021. I am reporting how the tent performed under a few weather conditions I had set it up in my yard and used it once to sleep out before departure. I carried extra stakes (3) and extra guide lines(2). I also had a ground sheet made of plastic. My first night I had to pitch the tent in the rain at about 3300 feet. Once I had the outer set up I was able to get into the tent, dry off , sleep and eat. It rained overnight and no leaks to report, there was wind, the tent remained stable. I also woke up once another night with ice on the outside of the tent and another time with a light dusting of snow at 4000 feet maybe higher The tent was easy to dry out once the sun came out and I could spread it out for a bit. I saw only 2 others with this tent, both seemed very happy with theirs too. I saw many tents costing 4 to 6 times more using many more tent pegs. Most nights I used the 4 corners, and sometime staked the opening for zipper access

I added a photo of the tent drying out. I stopped using the inter net and bathtub after a few days, next time I will leave this behind to cut weight as there were no bugs in that location. Thank you

Great Tent!

I set up my 1p just the other week. It was easy to set up, and the color is great. I am 6'1", and it fit me just fine. One thing I will make sure and do is order a few more stakes for it, as it only comes with 4 shepherd stakes. That will add a little more weight to it but that is fine by me. One down side is that it is very slick/slippery when trying to put it in the bag. That can be frustrating, but once I figured out the best way to fold it, it wasn't a huge deal.

My favorite 1P tent!

The inner tent may seem narrow but thanks to the size of the vestibules and the transparent mesh, you don't feel constricted at all, a well designed tent!

Great tent thus far!

I meant to share my review, photos, and proposed DIY footprint concept last year and things just got away from me. I ordered the tent in like Feb. or March 2020, but it didn't arrive until July. I had it out twice last year and really enjoyed it. Well made tent although I had only four nights in it under pristine conditions......no rain or wind at all. I am optimistic it will be a very durable and robust tent under more extreme conditions. As a single-person tent I really like that it has very large vestibules and doors on both sides. The photos I wanted to share are of my Tyvek HomeWrap footprint for this tent. I tend to really baby my tents as some of these newer fabrics just seem so fragile that I don't mind carrying a few extra ounces to take good care. My "hack" on the ground sheet was that I cut to just slightly smaller than the tent bathtub dimensions. I installed grommets on each of the four corners of the Tyvek sheet and then used some spare wooden dowel material I had along with some spare shock-cord to create a pretty stellar system to tie the groundsheet to the tent tie-outs. Worked just amazingly and learned I could hook it once I staked out the tent itself, but without having to be inside the tent to do so.
