If you're a solo backpacker, you may have heard that a 2-person tent is more comfortable and a more popular choice over a 1-person. That said, the Durston Gear X-Mid is known to be one of the largest 1-person tents out there. So should you choose the Durston X-Mid 1P or the 2P? In this video, I cover the merits and drawbacks of both, and which I would choose if pressed to do so.

I love my xmid 2 which is perfect for myself and my large dog (70lb standard poodle who is all legs), plus it comfortably fits my pack and whatever stuff I I like to unpack in there too.

The 2P is definitely the right fit for all that! I'm glad you love it!

Love the real talk. I could si feel your frustration in that montage. 😂 Sorry to laugh at your pain. I'd laugh if it was me too. But not until a few days later.

Haha, don’t apologize- I was laughing as I was editing! It’s always much funnier in hindsight- all those struggles in the moment are!

Watching this despite owning both the 1p and 2p X-Mids haha. I went with the 2P Solid for shoulder seasons, winter camping (awesome with just the fly!), and whenever I have someone with me who doesn't have all of the gear. I went with the 1P Pro as my main tent for summer, since here in Alaska, most of the hikes require you to climb a literal mountain lol. I think if I could only choose one, I'd just stick with the 2 person! Oh and as you mentioned, the width of the NON Pro is ideal because it fits the two wide pads :) Thank you for the video!!

Thank you! Durston makes addictive gear! I can't wait to get my hands on a 2P Solid for snow and desert conditions. I also realized today that the Pro 2+ has the same measurements as the regular 2P, which is nice for those wide pads!

Can you fit 2 people in the xmid 1/2?
@WanderingSwitchback
@WanderingSwitchback 3 дня назад
Yes, my wife and I have used two wide pads in it together. You’d want to share any two-person tent with someone you’re already close with!
