The X-Mid 1 has been developed from the first principles of geometry to achieve the most weight efficient, simple to use, and stormworthy design for a trekking pole shelter. The result is a double wall tent that is incredibly user friendly, capable and spacious while weighing just 26 oz (745 g). As a result, it has become one of the most awarded tents in recent years including awards for best tent from The Trek, Outdoor Gear Lab, Section Hiker and numerous other respected outlets.
So impressed with this tent. Lots of thought has gone into the design. Very compact and light to carry, but roomy (for a 1 person ultra light) and solid when erected. Very simple and quick to erect. Love that you can separate and remove the inner while leaving the fly up. Excellent detailed YouTube vid by Dan Durston on erecting the tent, different set up options and fixing common sagging problems.
If I had my time again, I would seriously consider the 2 person for the ample amounts of extra room and minimal extra grams, but really, the 1 person is quite sufficient. Also, if you want to do a side trip and take a walking pole once the tent is erect (especially if dewy or wet) carrying a 3rd pole should be considered - I plan to now purchase the Durston tent pole for this purpose (it also easily allows the "verandah" option for the tent).
Brilliant. Better than expected. Easy and quick to pitch, roomy with lots of storage . And of course lite weight.
Love my X-Mid 1. Set up was a breeze, even for my first trekking pole tent. Roomy and the various configurations make it so versatile. And of course super light and tiny to pack.
