Question:	what is the diameter of the poles? (outer
Answer:	Hi FLYMEI, No, you do not need to remove the prop... But, I got the next size up from what they recommended. What I also did was take some small wire plastic conduit and covered the prop edges to protect the cover from prop edge cutting and tearing.

Water / Wind Block Technology

Excellent Ventilation System

Mesh panels up high improve ventilation and let you enjoy the view; ripstop panels down low offer privacy and wind reduction without sacrificing breathability.

Smooth Zipper, Never Stuck

Extra large #8 zipper on doors and vestibules come with a zipper cuff made of weather-resistant fabric adds protection from the elements to the doors. 2-way zipper make it convenient to get in and out of the tent.

• SIMPLE PITCH: Pitching the X-Mid is similar to pitching a single-pole mid tent. There’s no guesswork with pole locations or pole lengths, because the fly naturally limits the length of the poles. Simply insert them into the grommets and extend until taut.
• INNOVATIVE DESIGN: Innovative design with a diagonal inner inside a rectangular-based fly. This allows the poles to be moved inwards without interfering with doors and living space, eliminating vertical, wind-catching walls and the need for peak guyouts.
• STORM WORTHY MATERIALS: The tent is made of 20d 420T 100-percent polyester with a 2000mm sil/PU coating. Tested under extreme lab conditions simulating 1.5 months of continuous high winds and heavy rains, the fabric still came out above 1500mm.

SIMPLE, SPACIOUS TREKKING-POLE SHELTER

Designed to be the best double-wall solo shelter supported by trekking poles (not included) , the X-Mid is the brainchild of Dan Durston, an experienced thru-hiker and established member of the ultralight community. It aims to solve the common issues seen in trekking-pole-supported tents: Most are single-trekking-pole pyramids, which lack headroom, or overly complex multi-pole designs, which are tedious to pitch. The X-Mid, on the other hand, offers a generous living space with dual doors and an easy setup using four stakes and no guylines. All told, it’s simpler, roomier, and more functional than its competitors—and at just 28 ounces, it’s lighter, too.

INNOVATIVE DESIGN, STORM-WORTHY MATERIALS

The X-Mid achieves its impressive specs through an innovative design with a diagonal inner inside a rectangular-based fly. This allows the poles and peaks to be moved inwards from the edges without interfering with doors and living space, eliminating vertical, wind-catching walls and the need for peak guyouts. The tent is made of 20d 420T 100-percent polyester with a 2000mm sil/PU coating. Tested under extreme lab conditions simulating 1.5 months of continuous high winds and heavy rains, the fabric still came out above 1500mm.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

The peak features 210d black nylon used to form a reinforcing cone, along with a quarter-inch grommet for the trekking pole tip. Vents above each door consist of overlapping panels of fabric that can be propped apart with a strut. In tough conditions, the peak guylines can be deployed, along with extra stakes at the eight additional stake points around the perimeter. The inner uses a unique parallelogram shape to take full advantage of the area inside the fly. In addition to accommodating even tall hikers, this shape provides protected area for gear storage at both ends. It also features a ridgeline pocket, which conveniently holds a headlamp for reading, provides a secure area for valuable gear, and keeps important items in close reach during the night. Finally, the fly uses tough #5 zippers to ensure a long life, even in tough conditions.

PITCHING YOUR TENT

Pitching the X-Mid is similar to pitching a single-pole mid tent. Stake out the rectangle with just one 90-degree angle to guess for the third stake, then insert the two poles. There’s no guesswork with pole locations or pole lengths, because the fly naturally limits the length of the poles. Simply insert them into the grommets and extend until taut.

The X-Mid is made in Vietnam, the epicenter of high-quality outdoor product manufacturing, home to factories that produce tents and apparel for the top brands in the world. The factory that produces the X-Mid also produces some of its top competitors from well-known companies, maintaining the highest level of materials sourcing, construction techniques, and testing with all of the tents it produces.
