The Durston Gear X-Mid Pro 2 Shelter (a hybrid single/double-wall tent) is a 21-ounce, 2-person, dual-vestibule, dual-door, side-entry tent made with 0.55 osy Dyneema Composite Fabrics. Its two most unique features are its ease of setup with only four stakes, and its livability (interior volume)-to-weight ratio. • In this video, we take a detailed look at setting up the X-Mid Pro 2, analyze its design and engineering for high winds, evaluate its livability, and answer some common questions about its design and performance in wind, rain, snow, and more. • We also discuss the Durston X-Mid Pro vs. Tarptent Dipole 2 Li. • Timeline: • 0:00 Introduction • 0:28 What features make the Durston X-Mid Pro unique? • 1:10 How to setup the Durston X-Mid Pro? • 10:31 Are the stock tent stakes strong enough to tension the X-Mid Pro in loose soils? • 12:17 Best 4-Stake Pitch: Tarptent Dipole 2 Li vs. Durston X-Mid Pro? • 13:16 How to pitch the X-Mid Pro in high winds and stormy weather? • 15:20 How to stabilize the apex poles for maximum wind resistance / how to measure and use the apex guylines? • 16:08 What happens when broadside winds perpendicular to the ridgeline on the Durston X-Mid Pro? • 17:07 How effective are the mid-panel guyline tie-out points on the Durston X-Mid Pro? • 19:25 How to stabilize the ridgeline of the X-Mid Pro using four guyline tie-out/stake points - (1) corner stake; (2) mid-panel edge shockcord stake point on end walls; (3) bottom of zipper stake points on side walls; and (4) apex guylines. • 20:26 the Achilles' heel of the Durston X-Mid Pro 2 - broadside winds - inability to stabilize the pole apexes - why? vs. the Tarptent Dipole 2 Li - the limitations of asymmetrical design • 21:28 Is the X-Mid Pro big enough for tall people? • 22:05 What's the best way for two people or couples to sleep in the X-Mid Pro 2? • 22:48 How large are the vestibules on the X-Mid Pro 2 with the doors open? • 23:18 How much room is there for gear storage in the Durston X-Mid Pro 2? • 24:37 How condensation resistant is the Durston X-Mid Pro 2? • 25:42 Bathtub floor performance • 26:25 Winter and snow-loading performance • 27:10 Hail storm performance • 28:57 Does rain enter the tent when the doors are open? • 29:51 Does heavy rain splash under the side walls? • 30:21 Does the X-Mid Pro 2 fit two wide (25-inch wide) sleeping pads? • 31:04 Do trekking pole impede entry/exit? • 31:54 Is there any disadvantages to the 15D silpoly floor on the X-Mid Pro 2 vs. a Dyneema Composite Fabrics tent floor? • 32:58 Conclusion final thoughts! • ** Learn more • see our written review and detailed photos here: ** • https://backpackinglight.com/durston-... • ** Tarptent Dipole Li 1/2 Review Video: ** • https://backpackinglight.com/tarptent... • ** Tarptent Dipole Li 1/2 Written Review: ** • https://backpackinglight.com/tarptent... • ** Dyneema Composite Fabrics / Ultralight Shelter Resources: ** • Podcast: https://backpackinglight.com/podcast-... • Q A Video: https://backpackinglight.com/choosing... • Forums discussing hail risks and damage (holes) with Dyneema Composite Fabrics shelters: • https://backpackinglight.com/forums/t... • https://backpackinglight.com/forums/t... • ** Help us keep this channel AD-FREE ** • Backpacking Light disables YouTube advertising on all skills, trip, and gear videos.
