Zpacks - Offset Duo

Why not look at Tartpent Dipole 2 Li and Zpacks Offset Duo? Much better space around the head and feet for avoiding condensation. I love my X-Mid Pro 2+, but I’m 6’3” and prefer not to share it with anyone taller than my 5’6” wife.

The X-Mid (non-Pro) has the advantage of being a double-wall tent, so even if you brush against the walls, you won’t get wet. However, when it comes to height support, I find that Durston tends to overestimate. I'm 198 cm tall, and only X-Mid Pro 2+ is usable for solo use. I definitely wouldn’t go for the one-person X-Mid 1 if you're around 193 cm or taller. As for solo tents, the now-discontinued Zpacks Offset Solo was the only one that really works for me. A friend of mine, who’s 195 cm, uses the Tarptent Dipole 1 and says he can sleep comfortably in it, but considering the weight, I’d personally lean toward the Zpacks Offset Duo, X-Mid Pro 2+, or even the standard X-Mid 2 for solo use. If you want a tent for two people that can fit a tall person, get Zpacks Offset Trio.

I use the Zpacks Duo. (22 oz) It can be trekking pole tent or you can use the freestanding poles which add an extra 10 ounces to the carry. For me the 10 ounces is worth it most of the time because it’s a perfect pitch every time and fairly easy to set up. It is a little more expensive than most, but worth it. I thru hiked the entire Appalachian Trail with one and it’s still going strong.
