Durston X-Mid 1P

So you've got 210 denier, nylon, super tough and then you've got a grommet here, sewn in through two layers of webbing. So it's super beefy, rounded e...

I will have no qualms in the future about using this in bad weather, because i don't think i will ever experience that kind of weather again when i'm ...

I really like this tent, it's performed exactly as I've hoped it would and exceeded my expectations in many ways.

I find it yeah it's it's everything that i wanted in a tent um.

If you're willing to use a trekking pole tent, the X-Mid can offer a lot more space/durability/performance for the weight because it doesn't put weight into tent poles. More specifically, it offers more durable fabrics (20D vs 10-15D), more waterproof coatings (>2500m vs 1200mm), dual doors (vs 1), dual vestibules (vs 1), and dual vents (vs none). The next gen X-Mid 1P is also a lot more spacious than the Hornet 1, and more stormworthy with a full coverage fly (extends to the ground) rather than a high cut one, so basically with the X-Mid you get a shelter that is more spacious, durable, featured, and stormworthy for about the same weight because it uses trekking poles. Then the GG One has more of an extreme focus on saving weight, so it's willing to sacrifice more performance, function, space, and durability to achieve that.

Lastly, my head got really cold so I wrapped my EE puffy jacket around my head which worked really well, but maybe next time I’ll just bring a lightweight beanie. So note to self, if the temps are getting below 45ish F, bring the base layers to sleep in. *Earplugs:* I’m so glad I brought these. The wind was pretty strong at night and the sound of it whipping through the trees was surprisingly loud.

I've used my X-Mid 1P for about 300+ miles since Spring of 2021, mostly in the NE and SE of the US. Humid, dew-prone, buggy conditions. I appreciate the versatility of the tent, the ease of set up, and I've set it up in some pretty cramped spaces. My one concern is that condensation seems to build up along the bathtub floor especially along the torso area of my quilt.
