The upper crest of ultralight tents doesn't need an unattainable price. The Durston X-Mid one-person tent performs exemplary while being within the budget of most serious backpackers. It's still hard for us to believe that such an easy-to-set-up tent can be so delightful to spend camp time in while also being almost invincible to storms when the weather tries its best to make our nights not so bucolic. The secret is hidden in plain sight: a very well-thought-out pitch-out design using a two-pole offset mid-design and a rain fly made of no-stretch polyethylene-coated polyester.

The engulfing exterior rain fly is one of the most solid features of the X-Mid.

The X-Mid 1 has been developed from the first principles of geometry to achieve the most weight efficient, simple to use, and stormworthy 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 g. As a result, it has become one of the most awarded tents in recent years including awards for best tent from The Trek , Outdoor GearLab , Section Hiker and numerous other respected outlets. Most ultralight tents are designed more as fair weather shelters, and thus compromise stormworthiness 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. With the X-Mid we save weight with efficient design including minimizing seams and maximizing the volume:surface ratio, so we can create a tent that is both light and capable in tough conditions. The X-Mid excels in rough weather with its fly first pitch, full doublewall design, non-sag poly fabric, large adjustable vents, factory waterproof seams, full-coverage fly blocks rain splatter and drafts , stormworthy shape, and protected entryways that avoid rain falling inside. No other tent can claim that list. 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.
