I shouldn't open these threads, let alone read them.
As I get older and less supple, I have become increasingly disenchanted with what are excellent tents, but simply too cramped for me. Like others, I have owned, and moved on, a range of excellent shelters in the search for something suitable for my solo use. Currently using a Hilleberg Unna which is spacious, breathes very well, and is storm worthy, but without a meaningful vestibule, and not light.
I followed the X-Mid 1 story but decided it too would not suit. Unfortunately, the X-Mid 2 has come along and seems to offer a lot. Like NNW, I would like to see a solid top on the inner, but this may actually increase condensation on the inner. I HATE condensation.
I would also like separate poles, rather than faff around re adjusting my walking poles to pitch the tent - no biggy.
Do we see the dual doors as being a structural weakness on the 2 P ?
So - how far away do we think a different inner might be ? A long way, judging by the posts in the thread.
Drop ships X-Mid 2s on Sept 11, so I think I need to make a decision smartly. What's the old saying - "get thee behind me Satan - and PUSH"
