REVIEWS
"Only had 1 experience with this so far: a 5 day thru-hike in the Lake district, but the tent performed perfectly for me, can't wait to get it out on more trips."
"Just used this tent I. Yellowstone for a 7 day backpacking trip. Endured all kinds of weather with no issues at all"
"I wanted to upgrade to something smaller and lighter weight than my Tarptent Double rainbow and this tent has totally fulfilled and exceeded my expectations." -
WHAT WE THINK
The Durston Gear X-Mid Pro 1 Ultralight Tent has quickly become a firm favourite in the V&P office. The tent holds up well in windy conditions and rough terrain, making it a great choice for those seeking a durable shelter that can withstand some wear and tear on the trail.
The X-Mid incorporates an offset design that greatly improves the interior space. By positioning the inner tent at an angle to the rainfly, it maximises usable space, creating a much more comfortable living area. While this design isn’t exclusive to the X-Mid, it’s the feature we appreciate most about the X-Mid Pro.
Its quick setup, roomy interior, and superior weather protection make it one of the top choices in the ultralight tent category. Although it comes at a higher price point, the performance and features justify the investment. -
