REVIEWS

"Used for first time on 5 night trip to Glacier National park. The tent was rock solid even in 40+ mph winds." -
WHAT WE THINK
One feature that distinguishes the Durston X-Mid 2 Pro from other trekking pole shelters is its setup process. With just four stakes required, the tent is anchored in a rectangular shape from each corner, making it much easier to achieve a proper pitch compared to other tents in this category. This streamlined design simplifies the setup and ensures a more reliable, stable shelter in less time.
Like many single-wall DCF tents, condensation can be a concern, so I often left the doors staked out and unzipped to improve airflow. The X-Mid Pro 2 includes two small vents above each door, each with a strut to facilitate ventilation. These struts are fixed at one end and secured with a Velcro tab on the other, allowing you to adjust the vents to stay open for better circulation or fully close them in more severe conditions. This design helps reduce condensation while maintaining shelter from the elements.
The Durston X-Mid Pro 2 has proved to be a fantastic option for our long distance trips likewise with shorter, more local adventures. -
