Durston X-Mid Pro 1
The X-Mid Pro 1 is the perfect tent for ultralight backpacking, combining the renowned X-Mid geometry with Dyneema® Composite Fabric (DCF). The result is the most spacious, simple, and storm-resistant one-person tent on the market, while weighing just 485 g.
Unmatched Interior Space
The X-Mid Pro 1 offers more livable space than any other one-person backpacking tent. It’s not just spacious for an ultralight tent—it provides more room than nearly all one-person tents, regardless of weight.
Its exceptional volume is achieved through an innovative design that positions the trekking poles further apart, creating 25 to 50 percent more interior space compared to competitors. The tent features increased usable length, peak height, and shoulder room:
- Floor length of 230 cm with steep end walls, ensuring full-length space even 38 cm above the ground. Suitable for hikers up to 203 cm tall.
- Floor width of 81 cm, accommodating even the widest sleeping pads.
- Ample headroom, allowing comfortable sitting throughout the tent, with enough space for two people to sit together inside.
- Two large vestibules positioned beside the door rather than in front, easily fitting a large backpack and other gear.
User-Friendly Design
Built for real-world conditions, the X-Mid Pro 1 is designed for maximum ease of use:
- Quick and simple setup requiring only four stakes.
- Unobstructed entrance, as trekking poles are placed outside the doorway.
- Tensioned floor stays taut and wrinkle-free for optimal comfort.
- One-handed zippers and interior pockets enhance convenience.
- Magnetic door toggles allow easy opening and closing with one hand.
- Compact packed size of just 25 x 12 cm, smaller than any other one-person DCF tent, fitting horizontally in a backpack for efficient storage.
Storm-Ready Construction
The X-Mid Pro 1 isn’t just ultralight—it’s built for extreme conditions:
- Durable Dyneema® fabric with reinforced seams and an aerodynamic design to withstand strong winds.
- Full-coverage outer tent, unlike many sub-500 g tents, providing complete protection against drafts and splashback.
- Adjustable outer tent height, allowing ventilation control based on conditions.
- Dual peak vents to reduce condensation buildup.
- Zippered doors that block wind and add stability.
- Two storm-protected entrances, along with attachment points for top and side guylines for enhanced stability.
- Up to 12 stake points, allowing reinforcement for extreme weather.
Premium Materials & Expert Craftsmanship
Manufactured in the world’s most experienced DCF tent factory, the X-Mid Pro 1 is built using only the highest-quality materials and cutting-edge techniques:
- Heat-bonded seams for superior strength and durability, outperforming traditional sewing or cold-taped seams.
- Exclusive pre-treated Dyneema® fabric, reducing stretch over time and preventing zipper distortion.
- Diagonal reinforcements that minimize stress on the fabric, preventing premature wear and extending tent longevity.
Patented X-Mid Geometry
Designed from the ground up for lightweight efficiency, simplicity, and storm resistance, the X-Mid Pro 1 avoids common pitfalls of trekking pole tents:
- No complicated setup or mandatory guylines.
- No obstructed doors due to support poles.
- Generous headroom, eliminating the cramped feel of many ultralight tents.
