WOW! What a difference!
This is the new, short pole, solid inner, version of the Durston X-Dome 1+.
It’s FAR more suitable for UK weather conditions. The tiny weight gain is well worth it!
I love the new solid fabric inner with the zippable door revealing mesh.
The thicker floor is a welcome addition.
I love the t-zips (I wish all tents had these).
The pack size is much smaller (similar to X Mid).
The pole ends fit in the fixings now 🙌
The additional guy point to support the Easton carbon pole is essential in my opinion.
After being disappointed with Gen 1, this is a leap forward in my eyes 👏

Love that ❤
I wish it had doors on both sides.
I just finish Lycian Way with Durston X mid 1 and 15d fabric is just joke. Holes are made by just looking at it and I am not saying that with any satisfaction, rather with disappointment.
Ordered mine a while back, should arrive soon I hope! Personally I love a free standing tent so hope to love it…
Can’t wait for mine in a few weeks! 👏
Got home tonight and the fairies had being yipee
Went to order it yesterday and the next batch has sold out! Looking forward to ordering and receiving now they’ve sorted the pole issue
Mine arrived yesterday. Impressive bit of kit and hope to use it on the Cumbrian Way in a week or so. Durston kit never disappoints.
Do you think that the solid version is a better year round version than the mesh inner for use in the UK? Or would you still recommend the mesh version for the summer?
On their website it says 36.5 oz (1040 g)
(Regular version, stuff sacks, 4 stakes), but your video says 1.2kg. Am I missing out on something?
I ordered mine about a month and a half ago and it is supposed to ship in June. What makes this one a Gen2 and do you have any idea if that’s the one I will be getting? I got the X Dome 1+ but didn’t see anything about which generation it was
I find big problem with this tent from Durston….They sell out far to quick and I cant get my hands of one.
The short pole tent is the same size as the standard, just a different pole dimension for better transport on bikes?
i wanna bux one, any suggetions where I cam get it for my bikepackingtrip in August…?
Just got mine out in the back garden last weekend and loved it!
What is the short pole version? Could you suggest a footprint to include the vestibule area?
All that solid fabric on the inner. Isn't that gonna get hot and humid?
UK walkers are hilarious
Very cool, but how did you even get it to the UK? Was it not a pain with the customs and all?
Buongiorno chiedo alla platea un opinione sulla durston in dyneema . Grazie
At a guess, is it a U.K. style, 3 season tent?
Just ordered mine yesterday!! Excited!
How quick fix problem with carbon and tent? Wait gen 3…
Dyneema version coming soon
how do you find the solid inner? I got the mesh but am a bit worried about wind/rain
Great video! I'm buying one next week. Regarding guy lines. If pitch the X Dome 1+ on a very clam sunny day with no wind, but I want to use JUST TWO guy lines “just incase” it gets a bit windy during the night. Without knowing which way the wind might be blowing, where on the tent would you suggest attaching the two guy lines? Or would you not even use guy lines if it’s calm when you hit the sack?
So only the solid inner version comes with the short poles?
Sold out untill April…
