Xmid Pro 2

[pattimusprime22]

I guess Christmas came early this year. Received my xmid pro 2 today as I was about to head out to the range. Did a quick pitch and here are my initial thoughts:

• It sets up just as easy as the previous versions. Stake the outer corners in a rectangle and throw your poles in and you're done.
• This thing is light. 20.8 oz for the tent and stuff sack. 2.5 oz for 6 stakes and some extra guyline in a small stuff sack.
• The bathtub floor is more structured than the original 1p or 2p.
• The magnetic toggles to hold the doors open are an improvement over the previous toggles.
• Build quality seems very high. This is my first DCF tent so I can't compare against others.
• Did I say this thing is light?

Looks like a great shelter!

You got lucky to get your order placed, i've been following the Durston releases but haven't been able to place an order and don't want to pay the ebay markup.

After you have used the tent in windy and rain conditions, can you please provide an update on how loud the dcf fabric is? I want to get the dcf version but concerned about the noise when sleeping. Thanks

I had the same concern and at least in the yard it is less loud than I anticipated it to be. I'll report back in a few weeks once I've tested it a bit.
