cancan wrote:choosing tents is so hard... after a foggy weekend of waking up damp in the Bivvy decided a 1 person tent was in order, narrowed it down to the Nemo Hornet, contacted a friend with one and he loved it then another friend chimed in about his tarptent and then I switched to the Moment DW although still couldnt work out best way to carry the poles on my drop bar gravel bike... then found the X Mid, it offered all the benefits that I liked of the Moment (manly duel door and double vestibule but with the advantage of using carbon poles that break down smaller... but Amazon AU price is now $380 plus 2 poles werent cheap, then the Nemo went on special for 20% off.. in the end I ruled the Nemo out, buying it because its on special when it doesnt tick the boxes didnt add up, Then I found some poles from Intent in NZ which are only NZ$45, slightly heavier than others but end of the day not enough to stress about and my partner is currently back in NZ for ease f getting them home, although $9 delivery to Canberra v $6 Auckland easier to have them sent here ... so jumped on Amazon and noticed gift voucher at checkout, jumped on my banks rewards program and 3% discount on Amazon gift cards... it all adds up so order placed delivery tomorrow they reckon, now to plan the next weekend trip... will be nice to be back in a tent after the last 3 years of being in a bivvy.

Do you recall the dimensions of the new 1p? I had a look at the Facebook page but couldn't find the post.
I'm very interested as I found the original 1p a touch narrow, but the 2p is overkill for hiking solo.
Also eagerly awaiting the xmid pro!

Just cut Dan's comment on the thread here.

I make it feel roomier by putting the loops on the mesh doors over the tent door toggles, once I’m inside for the night. This stretches the sides of the mesh inner out wards and is much more pleasant.

There are walks where two poles aren't really necessary or just don't work that well. Then an X-Mid means you're carrying an extra pole just for the tent.
I'd sell you my almost brand new X-Mid but the shipping would probably be too expensive.
