Durston
Dan Durston created the first iconic X-mid in collaboration with MassDrop and this tent has since become one of the best tents in the whole lightweight backpacking community. With the introduction of the pro version, which are made of Dyneema, these became even more ultralight.
Besides tents Durston Gear also have backpacks that are truly well designed and use superior materials (in all the right places, light where possible, strong and sturdy where needed). Besides making great products, Dan is also very active in the ultralight community, always open for suggestions, gives feedback and answers. Overall such a nice company 😉

We have the original X-Mid from the Massdrop collaboration, and it’s still one of our all-time favorite tents (though the Pro version might have edged it out 😉). The concept is brilliant—light, compact, easy to pitch (it’s just a square!), and surprisingly spacious.

The Durston Z-Flick tent pole zet de standaard voor in hoogte verstelbare tentstokken (wandelstok vervanging), omdat het niet alleen de lichtste verstelbare stokken op de markt zijn, maar ook de stijfste stokken in de buurt van dit gewicht. Ze zijn compatibel met bijna elke tent en de enige stok met traploze hoogteverstelling. Elke stok die lichter is, heeft een vaste lengte en is waarschijnlijk veel minder stijf.
The X-Mid Pro 1 is een ideale tent voor de “ultralight bikepacker” die echt wat aan gewicht en pakvolume wil besparen. De tent combineert de specifieke X-Mid geometrie met Dyneema® composietstof (DCF) tot een van de ruimste, eenvoudigste en stormbestendige eenpersoonstenten op de markt – en toch weegt hij minder dan 1 pond – dat is 485 gram met de silnylon vloer.
