Zpacks - Offset Duo

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 think it's important to consider your size. If you're both slender and average height a 2-person is fine. My wife and I use a small 2-person from zpacks and it's plenty of room for ultralight. We're both about 6 ft tall. I carry everything to reduce her weight. Packs stay under fly flaps outside. My bro in law is almost 7 feet tall and when we hike we use a much bigger tent for 2. I'll take tent, he takes stakes.

Camping Gear covers so many areas, but I assume you mean your sleep kit and mess kit. Ultralight Backpacks: HMG (Hyperlite Mountain Gear), Z-Packs, Gossamer Gear Traditional Backpacks: Osprey, Gregory, Deuter is ayt Tents: Durston Gear, HMG, Z-Packs (Budget Tents: 3F UL Gear / Naturehike) Sleeping Bag: Western Mountaineering, NEMO, Feathered Friends, Therm-a-Rest Budget SB's: Naturehike) Sleeping Pad: NEMO, Therm-a-Rest, Sea to Summit (Budget: Naturehike) Pillow: Sea to Summit (Budget: Naturehike) Stove: MSR, JetBoil (Budget: Naturehike) Water Filtration System: Sawyer Squeeze, Lifestraw Sorry, but The North Face doesn't really excel in this area. The only exception is their Summit Series Line; they've leaned more towards streetwear, in my opinion. Plus, they've pulled out of local distribution in the Philippines. Just in Case you're asking about clothes and shoes, too easy. Arc'teryx, Outdoor Research, Norrona, Patagonia, Mammut, Rab (Budget: Decathlon, Naturehike, Ukay) Shoes: Salomon... and second, Hoka. (Budget: Same Brands but Ukay)

DCF tent from Zpack. I have been thru some big storms with these and no failures if guyed out well.
