Durston Gear X-Mid Pro 2+ Ultralight Tent
Ultralight and Spacious Tent Design
The X-Mid Pro 2+ is the ideal tent for partners who want a superlight yet stormworthy backcountry palace. It expands the award winning X-Mid Pro design into a larger 2+ size that weights just 19.2 oz (545 g) - making it the world's lightest tent that can accommodate two wide pads. More than just an amazingly light and spacious tent, the X-Mid Pro 2+ is also impressively capable thanks to the Dyneema® composite fabrics (DCF) and X-Mid geometry which is more weight efficient to provide greater stormworthiness while retaining the simplicity and user friendliness the X-Mid tents are revered for.
Features
The X-Mid Pro 2+ is the worlds lightest tent that can fit two wide rectangular pads. It has a generous 52" wide floor with a long length and best in class headroom thanks to the patented X-Mid geometry that creates more volume from two poles.
Dyneema® Composite fabric (DCF) is extremely strong and highly waterproof (8,000mm).
Premium hot bonded construction is a more costly production method than sewing or cold taping but provides stronger seams.
We use a proprietary pre-shrinking process to create a DCF shelter that doesn't deform over time or shrink to create wavy zippers. DCF shelters from most other brands gradually shrink and deform which means they don't pitch as well over time.
We align all stress lines with the Dyneema fibers and/or add DCF tape reinforcement so that the panels are never stressed diagonally (on the 'bias'). Other DCF shelters often put major stress lines diagonally across the fabric to save costs but this deteriorates the material and shortens the tents lifespan.
Ultra-simple pitch uses just four stakes in an intuitive rectangle shape. There is no measuring, odd angles, or mandatory struts and guylines. Competing tents require 6-10 stakes, sometimes mandatory struts and guylines, and measuring or estimating odd angles and pole heights.
Full coverage fly extends low to block drafts and rain splatter, but can also be pitched higher for more ventilation. Other tents trim away the bottom of the fly to save weight but this leaves you more exposed to drafts and rain splatter.
Dual magnetic door toggle system allows both the fly doors and inner doors to be quickly secured.
Optional peak and side guyouts can be used for harsh conditions along with up to 12 stakes around the base.
Vestibules can be collapsed to fit into smaller tent sites.
Dual doorways are zippered, not blocked by trekking poles, and keep rain off the floor even when open.
Dual vestibules are large, tall and put the main area beside the door instead of blocking it.
Dual adjustable peak vents minimize condensation yet can close during harsh conditions.
Dual interior pockets provide convenient storage.
