SIMPLE, SPACIOUS TREKKING-POLE SHELTER

Designed to be the best double-wall solo shelter supported by trekking poles, the X-Mid is the brainchild of Dan Durston, an experienced thru-hiker and established member of the ultralight community. It aims to solve the common issues seen in trekking-pole-supported tents: Most are single-trekking-pole pyramids, which lack headroom, or overly complex multi-pole designs, which are tedious to pitch. The X-Mid, on the other hand, offers a generous living space (now 30% larger) with dual doors and an easy setup using four stakes and no guylines. All told, it’s simpler, roomier, and more functional than its competitors—and at just 28 ounces, it’s lighter, too.

INNOVATIVE DESIGN, STORM-WORTHY MATERIALS

The X-Mid achieves its impressive specs through an innovative design with a diagonal inner inside a rectangular-based fly. This allows the poles and peaks to be moved inwards from the edges without interfering with doors and living space, eliminating vertical, wind-catching walls and the need for peak guyouts. The tent is made of 20D polyester with a 3500mm sil/PEU coating. Tested under extreme lab conditions simulating 1.5 months of continuous high winds and heavy rains, the fabric still came out above 1500mm.

PITCHING YOUR TENT

Pitching the X-Mid is similar to pitching a single-pole mid tent. Stake out the rectangle with just one 90-degree angle to guess for the third stake, then insert the two poles. There’s no guesswork with pole locations or pole lengths, because the fly naturally limits the length of the poles. Simply insert them into the grommets and extend until taut.

THE NITTY GRITTY

The peak features 210d black nylon used to form a reinforcing cone, along with a quarter-inch grommet for the trekking pole tip. Vents consist of overlapping panels of fabric that can be propped apart with a strut. In tough conditions, the peak guylines can be deployed, along with extra stakes at the eight additional stake points around the perimeter. The inner uses a unique parallelogram shape to take full advantage of the area inside the fly. In addition to accommodating even tall hikers, this shape provides protected area for gear storage at both ends. It also features dual ridgeline pockets, which conveniently hold a headlamp for reading, provide a secure area for valuables, and keep important items in close reach during the night. Finally, the fly uses tough #5 zippers to ensure a long life, even in tough conditions.

A LEADER IN OUTDOOR GEAR

The X-Mid is made in the epicenter of high-quality outdoor product manufacturing, home to factories that produce tents and apparel for the top brands in the world. The factory that produces the X-Mid also produces some of its top competitors from well-known companies such as MSR and Mountain Hardware, maintaining the highest level of materials sourcing, construction techniques, and testing with all of the tents it produces.

Durston Gear Z-Flick (Pair)

This tent has been great! The design is very clever. It feels roomy enough for me as one person and the vestibules keep it from feeling claustrophobic. It’s held really well in rain and wind. Goes up and packs up quicker than any other tent I’ve had.

It’s a pain to set up on rocky or sandy surfaces and I do feel like it has a pretty big footprint which is often the case for trekking poles tents. I wish there was a way to just have one vestibule in the 1p version because I never use all that space outside of the net.

Awesome!

Tent as described. I'm really surprised and happy! Ultra light, and looks durable. Directions could be more detailed, but it´s not a problem at all.
I ordered the tent to Germany. Shipping was very quick, I mean it took only 5 days with FedEx (Standard!).
Annoying was the extra tax (~100€ ca. 110$) for selling to Europe/Germany. But in the end it´s worth the total amount.
I would by again at KAVISO!

As advertised....

Just completed my first hike with the X-Mid 1P without issue. I did actually use the additional guide lines just because the ground was so soft. I see no need to continue my backpacking tent search - this will due fine for one person camping for the foreseeable future!
