Mid 1
Awesome tent! Easiest tent to set up I’ve ever had. Plenty of room for me and my gear. Love how lightweight it is.
Light weight and spacious!
Super light weight and for me a giant footprint. Lots of space. Very easy to setup. A little bulkier when packed up. But, willing to deal with that for the amazing low weight.
Love the tent.
Lots of room and sets up easily and quickly!
It rained so hard a nearby creek flashed. The mid kept me dry all night.
Let me start out by saying that it's taken me a few trips to review this shelter because I bought it in summer and hot weather just isn't where it shines. If you are just looking for something to keep the mosquitoes off when it's 100 degrees out, you will be a sad overheated potato.
Now let's say hypothetically that you're a crazy person and you would like to be down in the Grand Canyon while Tropical Storm Hilary hits and not wake up to a bunch of soggy gear, or something along those lines. Congratulations! Your search is over. It actually rained so hard one night that Tapeats Creek flashed overnight a few yards below my park-ordained dirt patch, but in the morning I was still dry and so was all my stuff. Expectations thoroughly exceeded!
The bathtub floor is a fantastic design, and the vestibule, while floorless, is large enough to do a solid job of protecting gear from the elements when paired with a groundsheet. Even a stray lizard (not included with purchase, gotta find your own lizard) knew a good thing when it saw one and kept trying to climb the outside wall.
In all seriousness, this shelter is light as heck and bomber when you get the pitch down. Allow a little time to get it dialed in the first few tries, or you're still going to be fiddling with it while the weather makes like a honey badger and does whatever it wants. And like most ultralight gear, it takes a little babying. I made the mistake of packing it near the bottom of my pack the first trip I used it…
Light and easy to set up
The Mid 1 was lightweight and pretty easy to set up. I like the zipper fly better than some other brands closures, and the fly comes a little lower to ground, too which is better. I think a couple more inches would be even better to keep out wind and rain. The bathtub floor could be taller, it collapses and items roll out onto the screen surround and earth. It would be better to come with strings all around as they are needed. Seemed pretty waterproof through it's first major storm! I stayed dry.
