The X-Mid Pro 2 is the pinnacle of ultralight tent design. It combines our maximally weight efficient and stormworthy X-Mid geometry with Dyneema® composite fabrics (DCF) and a singlewall design to create a tent that is both incredibly light and incredibly capable. The 2024 version weighs as little as 555 g while also bringing unprecedented stormworthyness, simplicity, spaciousness, and build quality to the super ultralight tent niche.

Stakes are not included. We recommend 8 stakes - e.g. a combination of 4 pcs of MSR Mini Ground Hog with 4 pcs of MSR Ground Hog for rough conditions.

SPACIOUS

Until the X-Mid Pro 2, if you wanted a 2P tent for a little over 0,5 kg you had to settle for something cramped, delicate, and/or lacking in weather protection.

The X-Mid Pro 2 changes that. It provides a spacious interior for two adults with a generous 230 cm floor length, ample 117 cm width, steep end walls to maximize useable length, and best-in-class headroom enabled by the unique geometry with a diagonal ridgeline and opposite diagonal floor. It fits hikers up to 193 cm (dual occupancy) or 208 cm (solo occupancy).

Also generous are the dual 2 sq m vestibules which are large, tall, and conveniently place the main area beside the door instead of blocking it.

USER FRIENDLY

The X-Mid Pro retains the user friendliness that the X-Mid tents are highly regarded for. Unlike most trekking pole tents, the rectangle based X-Mid has a simple 4 stake pitch with no mandatory guylines, no measuring or estimating odd angles, and no struts.

Once pitched, the intuitive minimalism continues with magnetic door toggles, doorways that aren’t blocked by poles, vestibules that put the main area beside the doorway instead of blocking it, a tensioned floor that lies taut and wrinkle free, and one handed operating zippers.

The X-Mid Pro also has a remarkably small packed size because of the efficient use of materials, less bulky floor material, and lack of struts which complicate packing up the tent.

STORMWORTHY

The stormworthiness of the X-Mid Pro 2 is excellent thanks to the extremely strong Dyneema composite fabric combined with the high performance X-Mid shape. The X-Mid has the ideal shape for wind and snow because the geometry gives all of the panels slopes that are consistently and moderate. There are no horizontal roof panels to catch snow, nor vertical side panels to catch wind. The tent pitches solidly with just 4 stakes, while peak and side panel guyouts can be added along with 8 extra stake points around the base if conditions warrant.

More than just surviving, the X-Mid Pro 2 keeps you comfortable in tough conditions with it's protected pitch (keeps the floor dry during setup in the rain), protected doorways (keeps the rain out even when open), dual peak vents which minimize condensation, and full coverage fly that can extend low to the ground to block rain splatter and drafts yet can be lifted higher for increased ventilation. Competing tents trim away the bottom of the fly to save weight but this leaves you more exposed to drafts and rain splatter. The X-Mid Pro 2 further enhances comfort in tough weather with its large interior space, and generous vestibules.

QUALITY

In addition to the highest performance design, the X-Mid Pro has industry leading quality. That starts by using premium materials like Dyneema, and assembling them at the most experienced tent factory in the world for DCF.

We use hot bonded construction to create Dyneema seams that are stronger, cleaner looking, and better retain their strength in extreme temperatures. We also use a proprietary pre-shrinking process for DCF so that the shape is more stable over time and won't deform or shrink to create wavy zippers like most other DCF tents. Additionally, we use thoughtful design and reinforcements to avoid stressing the fabric diagonally (on the 'bias') which adds costs but prevents premature degradation.

PATENTED GEOMETRY

The X-Mid shape has been developed from the first principles of geometry to be as weight efficient, simple, and functional as possible.

That includes avoiding all the common pitfalls of trekking pole shelters such as a complicated pitch, mandatory guylines, poles blocking the doorways, and a lack of interior volume.

ACCESSORIES

For all ultralight tents and shelters, regardless of brand, it is a good idea to consider using an additional groundsheet to protect the tent from damage and dirt, thus extending its durability (you can also replace the groundsheet more easily over time). You don't always have to use it, but it is particularly useful as a protection against thorns, dry grass or asphalt and stones. For this purpose you can use either the original Durston Groundsheet or Tyvek (you can adjust the dimensions by cutting).

If you don't use trekking poles, you can use the tent with Z-Flick folding poles.

For field repairs we recommend Durston DCF Repair Kit.
