Durston Gear X-Mid 1 Ultralight Tent

PINNACLE OF LIGHTWEIGHT TENT DESIGN.

The X-Mid 1 has been developed from the first principles of geometry to achieve the most weight efficient, simple to use, and storm worthy design for a trekking pole shelter. The result is a double wall tent that is incredibly user friendly, capable and spacious while weighing just 28 oz (795 g). As a result, it has become one of the most awarded tents in recent years including awards for best tent from The Trek, OutdoorGearLab, Section Hiker and numerous other respected outlets.

As an incredibly well rounded, spacious, and capable shelter, the X-Mid 1 is the ideal ultralight tent for everything from a long thru hike to a remote adventure in Alaska. That's why the X-Mid 1 has become both the most popular and highest rated 1P tent on all three triple crown trails (Applachian Trail, Continental Divide Trail, and Pacific Crest Trail) according to hiker surveys by The Trek and Halfway Anywhere.

KEY FEATURES OF THE X-MID 1 

• STORMWORTHY - Most ultralight tents are designed more as fair weather shelters, and thus compromise storm worthiness and protection for weight savings such as using lighter coatings that are barely waterproof, extremely thin fabrics, cutting away areas of the fly which leaves you most exposed, and omitting important features like peak vents and guy out points.
  
  
• USER FRIENDLY - Simplicity and user friendliness are a major focus for the X-Mid because the last thing you want in bad weather or at the end of a long day is a tent that is a hassle to use. We avoid complexity and improve the user experience with our focus on first principles design, combined with obsessive attention to detail and extensive real-world validation.
  
  
• SPACIOUS - The X-Mid geometry maximises the space possible from two poles by using a diagonal ridgeline that positions the two poles further apart, while avoiding placing the poles near the edges that would detract from wind performance.
  
  
• QUALITY - The tent is crafted at arguably the best and most experienced tent factory in the world using premium components, full double stitching, double folded edges, and generous bar tacking.
  
  
• PATENTED GEOMETRY - The X-Mid shape has been developed from the first principles of geometry to be as weight efficient, simple, and functional as possible.
