 *Came with a footprint. *Materials, sewing, and seam taping of floor seemed good quality. *Couple of hanging rings near the peaks inside for lamp, or can string a clothes line between them.  Con's- *Not being self-supported with a frame, can not be used as easily in some situations, on slickrock for example

 I'm used to 2 larger pockets and a mesh gear loft in my MSR Hubba NX 1 person tent, so will try to modify it to match. *Aluminum stakes are a bit short, may pull out in heavy wind. *It is prohibitively expensive for the producer to seam seal the silnylon tent canopy (but not the standard PU-coated bathtub floor), and so you will need to do that yourself, taking about 90 minutes. Make sure to get the correct seam sealant for silicone-impregnated nylon

Scaling down the weight of my solo backpacking kit, so picked this up, as I'm not willing to pay the high price of the cutting-edge Dyneema versions of similar single-wall trekking pole tents. After using for a couple of nights, my first impression is that it sets up fairly easily, but only under ideal conditions where you can get in the 8 necessary stakes.  Pro's- *Very lightweight for the amount of space. *2 doors and vestibules

Light and roomy, good price.

 So with those carbon trekking poles and this Lanchan 2 Pro 10, it's a seriously ultra light package. Now we've got this three Full gear Lan Channel 2 Pro 10 from Campolists.com It was about I think just 150 pounds and that's just under 200. But that included the footprint too, which I think weighs just 150 grams

 It's a huge turn. I mean bearing in mind, this is a sub kilo tent. It's absolutely enormous. I was never expecting it to be this big

 But with this tent being so light with the trekking poles, I can still save weight. even though I'm taking trekking poles, It's just brilliant. Now, there's just two sort of drawbacks. Um, that I think I should point out with this tent

 Look at the size difference. It's Absolutely. and it's just ridiculous. Um, and it's not just the size, it's the fact that there's probably nearly one and a half kilos between the two

2021 3F UL Gear Lanshan 2 Pro Tent - The BEST trekking pole tent!

 I think the lanchan one was about um, 800 something like that, but still 900 grams. For a budget lightweight trekking tent is a good start to me. Then of course with the tent, you get your pegs. There's a little repair kit at the bottom there

 10. Um, in terms of budget. So if you are looking for something super lightweight under a kilogram, which, of course this is, um, and you want a bit of a budget, then I think this could definitely be something worth looking at. It's also very, very spacious

 Uh, it's really large. It's really large in here. Um, I'm not massively tall. I'm five for eight and when I lay down, I have loads of room above my head and loads of room by my feet

 You've got all that ventilation with that nylon mesh just there. And of course, around the bottom there in case you didn't notice. So it is single skin so you might be worrying about condensation so I think the thinking behind it is any condensation would run down and then disappear through that mesh area there so you don't get too wet. One thing to bear in mind folks is that only one half of the inner opens

LanShan 2 Tent Review

OutdoorGearLab

If you're looking for an affordable, high-quality, fully-featured, and adaptable shelter, look no further. The Durston X-Mid 1P is absolutely amazing. The minimalist design, premium materials, functionality, and comparatively low price make it one of our highest-rated ultralight shelters. At full deployment &#40;with the fly and the inner together&#41;, the X-Mid is a double-wall shelter that weighs in at under two pounds, including stakes. We also love that you can strip it down to its bare essentials, removing the protective inner to create a floorless pyramid that still protects well in harsh weather thanks to walls that extend all the way to the ground.
Our favorite design feature of this tent is that the removable inner can be detached and stowed in your pack while you are still inside the fly. Being able to keep your sleep system dry during a stretch of a few rainy days in a row is a huge morale boost. The same goes for set-up since the X-Mid pitches fly-first. We love the dual doors that give you the luxury of choosing your entry, as well as plenty of airflow if the forecast does not call for rainstorms. It's fast, it's light, it's durable &mdash; it's everything you need in a shelter and nothing you don't. Intuitive to use and adaptable to the seasons, we recommend this tent to anyone and everyone.

So basically, the GG One offers very low weight but also gives up a lot of durability/space/function to achieve that, then the X-Mid is heavier at 28oz, but a lot more of a well rounded/all conditions shelter, whereas the Hornet 1 is about the weight of the X-Mid but with protection/durability more similar to the One because it puts a lot of weight into the pole structure. Personally I don't think the Hornet really makes sense if you're a trekking pole user, since the pole is a lot of weight for not much gain in simplicity (you still need a lot of stakes). I'd go with the One if you want the lighter shelter for friendlier conditions or the X-Mid if you want a light but more well rounded ultralight shelter, but the Hornet could make sense if you don't use hiking poles.

 If you're willing to use a trekking pole tent, the X-Mid can offer a lot more space/durability/performance for the weight because it doesn't put weight into tent poles. More specifically, it offers more durable fabrics (20D vs 10-15D), more waterproof coatings (>2500m vs 1200mm), dual doors (vs 1), dual vestibules (vs 1), and dual vents (vs none). The next gen X-Mid 1P is also a lot more spacious than the Hornet 1, and more stormworthy with a full coverage fly (extends to the ground) rather than a high cut one, so basically with the X-Mid you get a shelter that is more spacious, durable, featured, and stormworthy for about the same weight because it uses trekking poles.

So I am planning to hike the JMT and a lot of others recommend a trekking pole tent.  I would love to try one out and was considering either the X-Mid 1 or the Gossamer Gear the one.  Even something lighter or another budget option.  I currently use the Nemo hornet 1p and never used trekking poles.  Also is there any benefits to the other options other than weight?

Best Ultralight Tent of 2022 - GearLab

 Then take a second and just make sure that it looks good. What do you have that you can go ahead and insert the first pole? You can insert it either through the vent or through the door and there's a grommet at the peak that you can insert the tip into insert that pole and get it nice and taut. You can give it a good extension once you've done, that there should be a line of tension going to each of the four corners. So this is great because it's a setup that, even if it was really windy, it wouldn't be a problem to fish this tent

 So you've got 210 denier, nylon, super tough and then you've got a grommet here, sewn in through two layers of webbing. So it's super beefy, rounded edges, it's not going to cut through, and it's all reinforced with this 210 denier nylon and then below that you've got a buckle here and that connects to the inner with this grosgrain. So you can adjust that to make sure your enters at the ideal tension you [, Music, ], 

 Angled ends and it's on a diagonal, that's the fire into the tent. So you get these great vestibules! You put a ton of stuff there, they're, nice and tall. You could toss a pack in the corner. You could have you cook here

 So you should see at this point that you've got attention on this one and this one, and if you get that that means your rectangles pretty good, I like to add one more little snake at the main door that I'm going to be using to hold that Small side of the door in place at that last pull and you're, basically ready. If you wish you can deploy the peak guylines, [ Music ] the extra packs up into this nice short package, because it doesn't have any struts. So it's designed packed short enough. That will store horizontally in any pack

Durston X-Mid 1P - Ultralight Tent

 My test setup was on a mildly windy day. The tent was solid but made a fair amount of flapping noise. I might need to practice getting a better pitch. But this was minor

 First the good. This is light and small. OK - it is a few ounces more than the claimed 1.7 lbs but very close

Delivers what it promises

Hello, everyone: this is a review of the drop X, mid 1p, designed by Dan Durst on a dual door: dual vestibule, trekking poles supported single person, shelter that weighs twenty seven point: nine ounces. This is not a sponsored review. I bought this during a recent drop sale when I was having a crippling identity crisis about whether I was always going to take my hammock one solo, hiking and liked it enough to do a full review. It comes with eight titanium, Sheppard hook, stakes which are nice and light, but which I augment with some sturdier stakes for out in the field

 I am able to compensate with these huge vestibules to give you an idea of how I fit into this I'm about 6 foot, even so, laying back and centering myself pretty good on this I fit pretty well I'd say this tent is probably good for people about 6 and under any more than that, you're really going to be pushing it for me at about 6, even it's about perfect and that's good. I don't really want to like carry a shelter larger than what I need. So, for me it strikes a really good sweet spot and if you are a taller person - and you don't mind having your head kind of up in the mesh like this you're not going to have a problem because there's about five inches of good space in between This Internet tent this outer so you're, not gon na, have an issue with hitting condensation the inner can fit wide pads. Although the best thing I can show for context is a Nemo switchback which is 20 inches to show how I fit on the pad I've stacked

 I also liked the unique design that offsets diagonal on the inside is just great those two huge vestibules for someone like me that likes to spread out gear. It'S wonderful! It'S not the lightest tent on the market, but though extra ounces, you're getting a ton of functionality and comfort and overall usability that no other tent can really offer you at the same price in weight, and that's really the overall impression that I get with the x-men. It'S not going to have the best specs in every department, but when you add everything up, it really cleans the field people. I wouldn't recommend this tent for our people over six feet

X-Mid 1p Ultralight Tent Review

I'm considering hiking the AT in the spring and would like to avoid having a perpetually damp quilt, at least as much as possible. Appreciate the feedback!

 Obviously a Hilleberg tent would perform better in a storm, but for its intended use, the X-mid is the best designed tent on the market. Condensation is a non-issue with the tent because of the steep angled walls. Moisture that builds up will just run down the wall and drip off the edges. 

anyone with some experience with single wall tents in a Scandinavian climate? I'd love to hear some experience before i waste all my money on a duplex  


i'll be camping next to lakes/rivers, on grass without trees so i fear condensation will be a huge issue, but is it a complete deal breaker? Do i have to go for a heavier dual wall tent like a hilleberg?

single wall tents possible in very wet climates? (Norway)

**Expected temps:** as low as high 20s in the Smokies/surrounding areas, very warm nights in mid-atlantic around height of summer

**Baseweight:** ~8.5lbs for 2.5szn currently w/ X-Mid 1P (preferred), ~7lbs for summer currently with Borah solo rectangular tarp, would ideally be <7.5lbs with this thing
