Durston X-Mid Pro 2
$1,399.95 – $1,599.95
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 509g while also bringing unprecedented stormworthyness, simplicity, spaciousness, and build quality to the super ultralight tent niche.
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.
Setup with your own trekking poles or Durston Z-Flick Poles.
Included; Tent, Stuff Sack, Stakes

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.

I researched this to purchase to death. I’ve spent 5 nights in my tent now and love it! Being a single wall tent you need to be prepared for condensation and manage it. I carry a wettex cloth, have managed to pitch it under or in amongst trees, and I’m learning how to pitch it for greater air flow. I’m happy to trade ultralight weight and a clever design, for managing condensation. The off-set poles are genius and make getting in and out of the tent a breeze. The vestibules are huge and great for gear storage, and cooking if it’s raining. As a glasses wearer I appreciate the mesh pockets as I’ve somewhere safe to put them. It’s a great investment in my tramping.
