The X-Mid Pro 2+ is the ideal tent for partners who want a superlight yet stormworthy backcountry palace. It expands the award winning X-Mid Pro design into a larger 2+ size that at just 19.2 oz (545 g) is the world’s lightest tent that can accommodate two wide pads. More than just an amazingly light and spacious tent, the X-Mid Pro 2+ is also impressively capable thanks to the X-Mid geometry and Dyneema® composite fabrics (DCF) which are more weight efficient to provide greater stormworthiness while retaining the simplicity, user friendliness and build quality the X-Mid tents are revered for.

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

Description

Features

Dyneema® Composite fabric (DCF) is extremely strong and highly waterproof (8,000mm).

Silnylon or Dyneema bathtub floor.

Premium hot bonded construction is a more costly production method than sewing or cold taping but provides stronger seams.

Pre-shrinking process to create a DCF shelter that doesn’t deform over time. DCF shelters from most other brands gradually shrink.

We align all stress lines with the Dyneema fibers and/or add DCF tape reinforcement.

Ultra-simple pitch uses just four stakes in an intuitive rectangle shape.

Full coverage fly extends low to block drafts and rain splatter, but can also be pitched higher for more ventilation.

Dual magnetic door toggle system allows both the fly doors and inner doors to be quickly secured.

Optional peak and side guyouts can be used for harsh conditions along with up to 12 stakes around the base.

Vestibules can be collapsed to fit into smaller tent sites.

Dual doorways are zippered, not blocked by trekking poles, and keep rain off the floor even when open.

Dual vestibules are large, tall and put the main area beside the door instead of blocking it.

Dual adjustable peak vents minimize condensation yet can close during harsh conditions.

Dual interior pockets provide convenient storage.

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.
