The X-Mid 2 has been designed from the ground up using fundamental principles of geometry to create the most weight-efficient and functional trekking pole shelter possible. Its innovative, patented geometry makes the X-Mid 2 incredibly storm-worthy, spacious, and simple, all while keeping the weight to a minimum. At just 35 oz (1005 g), no other tent offers this level of space and protection, which is why the X-Mid 2 has become a top choice on demanding trails. It’s also one of the most highly awarded tents in recent years, earning numerous accolades from BackpackingLight, The Trek, and Section Hiker.

KEY FEATURES OF THE X-MID 2 

• OPTIMAL GEOMETRY – Patented X-Mid geometry with twin offset poles provides best in class headroom, living space, storm worthiness, and ease of pitching.

• SPACIOUS – The diagonal (offset pole) ridgeline increases headroom and interior volume by 15-35% compared to similar shelters.

• NON SAG FABRIC – The X-Mid has been a pioneer of lightweight polyester fabric because it doesn’t absorb water and sag like nylon, so the shelter retains its structural integrity in wet conditions.
