The X-Mid Pro 1 is the pinnacle of ultralight tent design . Years of experience and tent design combined with Dyneema fabrics create a spacious, stormworthy one person tent that weighs 485g. More than just a spacious tent, the X-Mid Pro 1 is a robust shelter for harsh conditions. It uses ultra strong DCF fabric and combines that with the highly regarded X-Mid shape which optimizes wind and snow shedding.

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.

Setup with your own trekking poles or Durston Z-Flick Poles.

Floor Material

Our DCF floors use a new version of DCF that uses the thicker outer layer only on the underside (where you need it) and not on the top side (where the regular thickness is sufficient) so that it offers similar durability to more common 1.0oz DCF floors while being lighter and packing smaller. We think our new version is more attractive because it is lighter and actually saves weight compared to a woven floor and avoids a big increase in packed size.

Compared to our 15D woven floor, we find durability is similar for the two floor options. DCF has an advantage in resisting tears while the woven floor has an advantage with abrasion but overall durability is quite similar. As such, the decision on which floor to choose mostly comes down to cost and weight. The DCF floors come at a higher cost but enable an extra weight savings of about 2oz / 60g.

Aside from these main considerations, there are a few smaller considerations. A woven floor has the advantage of packing smaller yet and the silicone coating on the bottom can be re-applied in the future if needed, while a DCF floor dries faster and is quieter. Both floors can be repaired with repair tape, but the repair tapes for DCF are color matched to the material so they look better.

Overall, we recommend choosing the woven floor for the best value and smallest packed size, or choosing the DCF floor for the absolute lowest weight and faster drying.
