COMPLETE Full Comfort Shelter System Under 2 Pounds: The X-Mid 1 Pro!

Dan Durston is Canada's Cottage Gear Guru, and one of the most innovative and popular backpacking gear designers today. His X-Mid tents continue to sell out as fast as they are manufactured - in no small part because every generation improves upon the last. So when he sent me the X-Mid 1 Pro I decided to see what a 100% Durston shelter would be like: I got the Z-Flick poles (in lieu of trekking poles), and finished off the set with the recommended tent pegs (DAC J-Stake set) and cordage (Reflective Ironwire). All in, this shelter weighed only 28 oz. (793 grams)! 0:00 Durston Gear 0:30 Small Shelters 1:03 Durston Tent Accessories: Z-Flicks Poles, DAC Stakes, Ironwire 1:45 A 28 oz.
