Man, I like this guys gear reviews.

I have just purchased this tent and I would also like to add a little comment.... The customer service is outstanding. Customer is king and crap customer service means no customers...... Great vid

I love this tent. The first night of my last hike it poured rain, it was easy to set up in the rain and the inside stayed completely dry. The fly also dries super quickly. The first tent I bought was a bivy style and it felt like a literal coffin. I then went to a 2 person tent. I was a little hesitant to buy this as I did like the extra room of the 2 person tent, and was worried about it feeling like the bivy tent. But this tent does a great job of feeling roomy. I’m only 5’2 though lol even paying a small fortune as a Canadian (exchange, shipping and duty) it was well worth the price.

Agreed 100% - the Xmid is amazing! So glad your channel is taking off you've earned with great quality stuff!

Enjoyed the video, great info, thanks for the thoroughness of the review!

Looks like a great tent!! Just wish there was a 1.5P version. I'm so used to my 3f UL 1.5P leaning tower and love the extra space inside (39" wide) as well as the huge vestibule (which the Durston also has)! I would most appreciate having the sil-poly as well as the top-notch build quality of the Durston. Lots to think about.

Great to see a review with such attention to detail! Thank you!

Great vid mate can't wait to get mine it's en route by the way buddy and I'm sure dan knows you're out there I don't think he realises yet he's like the santa claus of tents I'll be leaving a cookie or two outside the door just in case fingers crossed he drops by peace my brother love from Lancashire UK ❤

This is one of the best reviews I've seen!

Very informative. Thank you.

Thanks for showing something different on the Durston!

I'm using the X-Mid 2, your video was a great review for the 1P!

It is not often that I buy something before you review it. But this tent is an exception. It meets and exceeds all my expectations and your review is spot on. This weekend I set it up the tarp only at first and hung out during the rain. I then deployed the inner and sleep very nicely, and dry out of the box. Thanks for what you do.

Your review style and amount you went out of your way to give to us in this video is sensational. I feel that, and I hope your channel growth matches the effort you put in

Great video, thanks!!

I love how you couldn’t wait for the rain to stop before doing a trial pitch. That’s some upper level excitement—rock on! I love what Durston is doing. I don’t have/need one of their tents yet, but I’m digging their Kakwa 55 pack.

Excellent tent! I own the X-Mid 1 and the X-Mid 2 and couldn’t be happier with both of them.

Great tent! I have a Tarptent NOTCH Li (DCF) and Tarptent sells a peak hiking pole HANDLE adaptor so you can put the handle UP, and not down in the dirt. See If it may work with your X-Mid 1.

I just posted a link to this awesome video in the Durston Gearhead page on Facebook. Love my xmid 1p and xmid 2p. Most bang for your buck tents out there in my honest opinion!
