The Durston Gear X-Dome Pro 1+ tent has been debuted by the backpacking gear brand as a featherlight piece of equipment that's engineered to transform the needs of adventurers. The tent weighs in at 780-grams thanks to its Dyneema construction that will save ample weight in a pack and also ensure it can withstand even the harshest conditions. The tent comes in at around half the weight as other models on the market, but is rated to deliver even more impressive waterproof capabilities and non-sagging integrity.
The Durston Gear X-Dome Pro 1+ tent features enough space for a solo traveler with a comfortable area for sleeping and the right amount of space for gear to maximize shielding from the elements.
