Enjoys their recent, slightly larger DuoMid solo; pitched without the center pole it is a palace in bad weather.
Owns a silnylon DuoMid, chosen for its stormworthiness, and at 171 cm doesn't find the living space an issue.
Their silnylon DuoMid still works great, and they experiment with airier two-pole pitches.
Their MLD DuoMid has survived horrendous weather above treeline in Alaska and the Canadian Rockies.
Uses an MLD DuoMid in the UK mountains: superlight and deflects wind well.
Has spent hundreds of nights in a single-wall MLD DuoMid and rarely has a condensation problem unless deliberately pitched very low.
Has used the same silnylon DuoMid for eight years from a Botswana safari to Adirondack canoe trips; it fits them, a 45 lb border collie and a pack, and stood up to 40 mph gusts and snow.
Has had a silnylon DuoMid for four years through sideways rain in Iceland and BC, summer snow in the Bugaboos and glacier ski touring, without an inner, and stayed mostly dry.
Absolutely loves their DCF DuoMid: perfect for one person and a dog, and easy to pitch tight, unlike their earlier silnylon SoloMid.
Has the DCF 0.67 camo DuoMid and is very happy with it; it is perfect for one person and rain has never splashed under it.
Has had their DCF DuoMid for four years; a pyramid can be overkill, but its simplicity, versatility and 360-degree coverage cannot be beat.
Has a DCF DuoMid with a silnylon SoloMid XL inner and an X-Mid 1P; both are really nice shelters, and they took the DuoMid to Alaska.
Of their three tents the DuoMid with inner is their least favorite in practice: the rainbow door, poor inner attachment, need for a pole jack and awkward entry make it less than ideal.
Has used their DCF DuoMid from windy beaches to California mountains and the Icelandic highlands, where it outlasted storms that snapped other tents' poles; tight for two big people.
Finished the JMT in 13 days with the MLD DuoMid and a superlight bivy; mosquitoes were not really an issue inside.
Has used a DuoMid this summer with a SoloMid XL inner net and really liked it on buggy trips.
Has a silnylon DuoMid at 5'10" and has never had a sag problem or a damp quilt, using the mid-panel tie-outs for a tight pitch.
Finds the DuoMid very spacious for one person in three-season conditions, with plenty of room for all their gear even with snow sag.
Their DuoMid is their winter shelter and is cozy in snow, though snow loading encroaches on the interior; condensation is not much of an issue.
Has the regular DuoMid and loves it, but their dog would not settle at night when critters such as mountain goats came into camp, so they are buying an enclosed shelter for trips with the dog.
Has a silpoly DuoMid with a Lanshan 1 inner that gives loads of space and is very stormworthy in unpredictable UK weather, and is not a heavy combo for the protection.
