weatherproof7roomy5condensation1light1

Uses an MLD DuoMid with their dog and finds a single-wall floorless shelter like it absolutely perfect for that.

positiveroomy

Enjoys their recent, slightly larger DuoMid solo; pitched without the center pole it is a palace in bad weather.

positiveroomy

Owns a silnylon DuoMid, chosen for its stormworthiness, and at 171 cm doesn't find the living space an issue.

positiveweatherproof

Their silnylon DuoMid still works great, and they experiment with airier two-pole pitches.

positive

Their MLD DuoMid has survived horrendous weather above treeline in Alaska and the Canadian Rockies.

positiveweatherproof

Uses an MLD DuoMid in the UK mountains: superlight and deflects wind well.

positivelightweatherproof

Has spent hundreds of nights in a single-wall MLD DuoMid and rarely has a condensation problem unless deliberately pitched very low.

positivecondensation

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.

positiveweatherproofroomy

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.

positiveweatherproof

Absolutely loves their DCF DuoMid: perfect for one person and a dog, and easy to pitch tight, unlike their earlier silnylon SoloMid.

positive

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.

positive

Has had their DCF DuoMid for four years; a pyramid can be overkill, but its simplicity, versatility and 360-degree coverage cannot be beat.

positive

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.

positive

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.

negative

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.

positiveweatherproof

Finished the JMT in 13 days with the MLD DuoMid and a superlight bivy; mosquitoes were not really an issue inside.

positive

Has used a DuoMid this summer with a SoloMid XL inner net and really liked it on buggy trips.

positive

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.

positive

Finds the DuoMid very spacious for one person in three-season conditions, with plenty of room for all their gear even with snow sag.

positiveroomy

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.

positive

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.

mixed

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.
