The X-Mid 2 has been developed from the first principles of geometry to be the most weight efficient and functional design for a trekking pole shelter. Its innovative and patented geometry makes the X-Mid 2 exceptionally stormworthy, spacious, and simple at the lowest weight. No other tent offers this level of space and protection for just 1.9 lbs (890 g / 31 oz), which is why the X-Mid 2 has become one of the most popular tents on demanding trails and one of the most highly awarded tents in recent years including top awards from BackpackingLight, The Trek, and Section Hiker.
Warranty: 2 years
Note - This product does not include poles, it is designed to be used with telescopic trekking poles, although the Durston Z-Flick Poles are available alternatively.
Have used on 4 hikes now. Very big for a 2 person hiking tent. Packs up much smaller than a freestanding tent. Very easy to set up (once you know how) - simply 4 stakes at corners then slide in the poles and extend (lots of good videos on the Durston website).
Excellent in rainy weather as the doors are near vertical which makes getting in and out much easier. Also easy to pack up dry tent inner first. The offset poles means there is a reasonable amount of headroom.
The tub floor is relatively shallow so can get a bit of splashback during rain, especially if there is a bit of a slope which pushes your sleeping mat against a wall - see videos on doing a lower pitch.
About half the price of most other 2 person hiking tents but lighter than all of them (except DCF). So great Ultralight Gear now stocking them!
