description Durston X-Mid Solo Overview
The Durston X-Mid Solo is a highly efficient shelter designed for the solo adventurer. It prioritizes weight savings while maintaining enough interior space to feel comfortable.

It is an excellent choice for those looking to minimize their pack weight without sacrificing quality.
help Durston X-Mid Solo FAQ
Does the Durston X-Mid Solo need trekking poles?
Yes. The X-Mid Solo is a trekking-pole shelter, so it normally pitches with two trekking poles rather than dedicated tent poles. That is part of how it keeps weight low for backpacking.
What is unusual about the Durston X-Mid Solo geometry?
The X-Mid uses an offset-pole, diagonal inner layout inside a rectangular fly. That design creates usable headroom, vestibule space, and storm coverage without a complicated pitch.
Is the Durston X-Mid Solo a single-wall or double-wall tent?
The standard X-Mid Solo is a double-wall shelter with a separate inner and rainfly. Durston also sells Pro variants that use different ultralight construction.
How many people fit in the Durston X-Mid Solo?
It is designed for one person plus gear storage in the vestibules. Backpackers who want room for two people look at the X-Mid 2 rather than the Solo.
