"Mainly because of the weight savings- roughly a pound. ... It's incredibly light"
"it's only like 20 ounces or so ... no poles just use straight sticks"
"because of its lighter weight"

"Set up on the X-Mid is by far the easiest of the tracking pole tents"
"pitches in around 3 mins with outer on ... So ideal for random and often wet UK weather"
"I never had a problem setting it up, even with a trail family of 8 sharing camp sites. ... Always room. ... Always rocks."

"quite roomy for a one person tent (sit upright and not touching any walls!)"
"With one person, there is a huge amount of space available."
"Vestibule space next to the poles is large enough for your pack without blocking doorways. ... When solo camping I put my pack in one vestibule and my chair (setup) in the other and can still exit either door."

"Double walls is essential hiking in wet Appalachia where I'm at so I can use it at home too."
"I had it pitched in GUMO a few weekends ago with 50-60mph winds. Took it like a champ"
"I had mine staked down in packed sand during a rainstorm that dropped 1.5”-2” per hour for 3 hours according to a ranger station nearby and it took it like a champ."

"need trekking poles or sticks for for support"
"need trekking poles or sticks for for support."
"This is going to be depend quite a bit on how well you pitch the X-Mid, as often the limiting factor with the X-Mid (and most trekking pole tents) is how well it is pitched moreso than the tents max limits."

"above 50 mph (80 km/hr) has been done quite a few times but is pushing the limits of the tent and getting risky."
"Wind will push the walls in on X-Mid and it becomes very narrow."
"I have an X-Mid which'll do great for through hiking but for rough conditions, I currently use a Terra Nova Pioneer Compact 2 (double poled) weighing in around 2.5kg, so far from ultralight but in the UK we need to be prepared to face strong winds for summit camping."

"I love my X-Mid Pro 2 but have definitely had the experience that a rock or root is hiding exactly where I need to put a stake. And after moving it a little I find a rock or root on a different corner. Of course this only happens when I have my dog along and I’m trying to beat the rain so I’m not breathing eau de Wet Dog all night."
"Rocky or sandy conditions make it difficult at times."
"though it takes some effort to pitch properly as the penalty for an improper pitch is higher than with a Portal."

"The 1 isn't big enough with a dog."
"I love my Pro 1 but it will not fit a dog comfortably"
"although both are cramped for two people."

"The drawbacks are that it doesn't ventilate as well as the BA and tends to have more issues with condensation."
"I've had condensation issues in it once. High humidity. Couple. The worst case you wipe it down with a pack towel and rinse it out the door once during the night and once in the morning."
"the singlewall Pro version has the fly and inner attached so the versatility is less."
