While this premium quality gives the X-Mid a higher cost of production than any comparable tent, the X-Mid 1 is priced lower simply because we sell it to you direct with only a modest markup.

We’re not aware of any other trekking pole tent that uses full double stitching and true double folded edges. It is assembled at arguably the best tent factory in the world using premium components (e.g., YKK AquaGuard zippers), laser cut fabric panels, full double stitching, double folded edges, and generous bartacking. In addition to the highest performance design, the X-Mid boasts the highest quality. Once pitched, the user friendliness continues with large doorways that aren’t blocked by poles and easy one handed operating zippers. Unlike most trekking pole tents, the rectangle based X-Mid offers a simple 4 stake pitch with no mandatory guylines, no struts, and no measuring pole heights. The X-Mid is also highly user friendly thanks to obsessive attention to detail and extensive real world validation. It excels in wet weather thanks to a fly first pitch, full doublewall design, no-sag poly fabric, large adjustable vents, factory seam taping, a full-coverage fly (blocks rain splatter and drafts), and protected entryways (rain won’t fall inside).

The X-Mid 1 is spacious, easy to pitch, and highly stormworthy for only 1.75 lbs (28oz / 795 g). Now redesigned for 2022, the second generation X-Mid 1 is also substantially more spacious. The X-Mid is exceptionally capable and stormworthy, while anything lighter is smaller, lower function, and/or using less durable materials. Awarded one of the best backpacking tents by OutdoorGearLab, The Trek, and Section Hiker, the patented X-Mid TM is developed from the first principles of geometry to achieve the most weight efficient design for a trekking pole shelter.
