Love the light weight but without straps and if you are using the poles for more steep and aggressive climbs it is the strap that gives you so much support and transfer while using them in different fashions and circumstances.

Those look like a branded version of the Komperdell FXP poles without the spring retraction. That's absolutely the Komperdell Powerlock 3.0 locking mechanism on the pole. Komperdell makes all their carbon for their poles in house rather than outsourcing to china. Same with all the other parts, all made in Austria which is great. So props to Durston for going with Komperdell for OEM'ing his poles. I use their Carbon FXP Approach Vario which is very similar but a little more versatile. I wonder if Komperdell will honor the warranty on these, which is very good.

I've got a set. They're light for sure, but there are some things I'll need to get used to. They don't have baskets on them from the off, so I'll need to get some. The size is a bit awkward for me. On one hand I could collapse my other favorite poles (the Cascade carbon fiber poles sold through Costco) which fit perfectly on a backpack, but these are either too long when left assembled, or too short without any way to affix them to a pack (other than stuffing in a pocket). It's a bit vexing. I didn't think cared about a strap, and generally don't, but there are times when I'm reaching for things and I'd like to be able to let go of the pole without having to try to hold it by pinching it between my knees or tucking it under an arm. Easy enough remedy, but it wasn't something I'd given any thought to until I started using them. They're beautiful poles, and well engineered. There is a point of contention though, and I'm sending data to Dan about this; if I get some updates I'll expound on that a bit, but for now I'll leave it as is. I suppose this is always the plight of early adopters.
@GearGarden8 күн бұрын
Yeah I actually agree! I do wish there was an easier to to collapse them for putting them in your pack as far as disassembling goes, so traditional poles for sure win in that way, but I will say these do benefit setting up a trekking pole tent faster! So I’d recommend these for people who double up the usage for that for sure! I would love some straps on these too, just to be able to have the option! Thank you for all your comments and for tuning it! I appreciate you!

Thx for the vid! We've been enjoying the Icelines...super rigid and just feel good to carry. Only minor issue we've had is dialing in the screw tightness on the flip-locks. Our poles were slipping/collapsing a bit at the tightness the screws were set at when they arrived. We could also twist the two sections. No biggie, just had to find the right screw tighness without over tightening.

I think a good thing to mention is to just spend the 30 bucks or whatever for the lifetime REI membership. The reason being is the no questions asked 365 day return policy. That way you could try out many different things if that's what you want to do and return it if you don't like it. Tents, sleeping pad (especially), shoes, backpacks etc. I once even return the backpack on the very last day because it developed a squeak that I couldn't stand.

Your Durston pitch isn't a bad pitch at all, but it's lending to the concerns/space issues you have. Getting the fly higher will give you quite a lot more space and ventilation. It'll allow you to pull the inner up higher as well and put more separation between the fly and inner. Looks like you have it pitched closer to storm mode. With all that said, I bought an X-Mid2 up front (because I like to camp with my dog) and the gram weenie in me finally demanded I get an X-Mid1. I have to say that the delta between the 1 and 2 in pack size and weight is miniscule, and the incredible amount of space you get for that tiny weight delta is MASSIVE. My recommendation is to get the 2; you can always skinny pitch it which will take up less space than most 1p tents. Durston 'doors'. You can go full 'stargazer mode' which is basically just a mesh tent if you want. You can also pull back both flaps on both sides if you want to leave it wide open. Good video man. I appreciate you getting that up!
@GearGardenАй бұрын
Thank you!! I have the stargazer option as well and love it! So the 2 footprint isn’t to massive? I thought about it but my 2 person gossamer is HUGEEEE. So I was scared to get a 2p durston too. But then the space would be so ideal
@dangerpudge1922Ай бұрын
@@GearGarden the floor will obviously be larger, but the floor of the 2p will fit inside the fly of the 1p with room. Being able to choke down either or both of the vestibules makes it pitch smaller than most normal 1p tents due to having to pull the fly out. I have a couple tents, and one is a Gatewood Cape/Serenity Net Tent combo; it's a very small tent and a TINY interior footprint, but I set it up right next to my X-Mid2 and honestly when you account for the space needed for the guy lines, the little SMD tent was actually taking up more space. After I got my 1p, I opened the box and honestly thought they'd accidentally sent another 1p. Now to be fair, there is indeed a difference in both pack size and weight, but it's not enough to truly concern yourself with and I can't ever imagine it'd make enough of a difference in packing or hauling to notice. The inside... man, it's just SO MUCH NICER to have all that room; I can have my doggo AND all of my gear inside the tent. Think about the interior of the 1p extending all the way into one of the vestibules. That's about what you get if you were to choke down just one vestibule of the 2p. Anyway, thanks for making the video, man. That's so much more work than most folks understand. Know I'm not baggin' on you at all, and I sure hope you didn't take my comments as critical. I've just 'found out' from my own progression through these. LOL

@@dangerpudge1922 not at all! I appreciate this type of input because then I can spread the word as well! So you’re telling me I can put the 2p inner durston in the 1p fly?

@dangerpudge1922Ай бұрын
@@GearGarden that wasn't exactly what I was getting at; the placement of the poles would be in the way for a 2p inner. What I meant was that as you're sitting in your 1p, imagine that one of the vestibules is just part of your inner with no pole in the way. That's pretty much the same as what it would be to have a 2p semi-skinny pitched. You sort of alluded to it probably without realizing when you mentioned that you could open both doors and regain lateral space in the 1p that you'd have in the GG.
