Durston – X-Mid Pro 1 – tent

We are not going to say much about this tent. It has been our absolute personal favourite tent since the first “drop” edition. We have every version of Dan’s tents in our own collection and are thrilled to be able to offer them in our shop.

The X-Mid Pro 1 is the ideal tent for the ultralight backpacker. It combines our maximally weight efficient X-Mid geometry with Dyneema® composite fabrics (DCF) to create one of the most spacious, simple, and stormworthy one person tents on the market – and yet it weighs under 1 pound – that is 485 grams with the silnylon floor.
It is an incredible clever design and a really nice tent to be in. The vestibules are convenient for storage of your pack and dirty shoes. The height is nice, finish is absolute stellar. The tent is pitched with 2 trekking or tent poles (not included).

Plenty of room in a really small package

The X-Mid Pro 1 is a seriously spacious tent with more interior volume than any other 1P trekking pole tent. It’s not just spacious in the context of superlight tents, but actually is more spacious than almost every 1P tent – at any weight.

The X-Mid Pro 1 accomplishes this with its space efficient geometry that moves the two poles further apart to create 25-50% more interior volume than competing tents, including more useable length, headroom, and shoulder room.

The floor length is a generous 90″ which is combined with steep end walls such that the length is still 90″ at 15″ off the ground. The result is best in class useable length (suitable for hikers up to 6’8″), while the 32″ floor width easily accommodates the widest pads with room to spare. You can comfortably sit up throughout the length of the tent while two people can easily sit in the tent together.

In addition, there are dual large vestibules which put the main area beside the door instead of blocking it, and can easily hold large packs and other gear.

The X-Mid design was formed in tough real world conditions where you need a shelter that works, and this elegant and capable simplicity continues in the X-Mid Pro 1.

Our thoughtful design includes an ultra simple 4 stake pitch, magnetic door toggles for one handed operation, doorways that aren’t blocked by poles, large vestibules that put the main area beside the doorway instead of blocking it, a tensioned floor that lies taut and wrinkle free, one handed operating zippers, and dual interior pockets.

The X-Mid Pro 1 also packs smaller than any other 1P DCF tent at just 25 x 12 cm in packed size. Thanks to the absence of poles and struts it packs short enough to store horizontally in your pack.
