I've been eyeing off a Durston tent for a little while now and will be pulling the trigger sooner rather than later. Though I'm finding that I'm feeling overwhelmed by the options, and am not sure which one is best for me. All options seem to have their drawcards and disadvantages.
I plan to use it for a 10-day hike in South America (Huayhuash to be specific), and after that, it would be mostly Tasmanian and New Zealand trails. I was originally attracted to the X-Mid 2 Pro with Dyneema fabric for its waterproofing (very handy for Tasmania), but I'm put off by its durability, as I often find myself camping in gravelly places. X Mid 2 was also attractive, though the extra weight is of course a consideration.
Any suggestions or opinions would be great!
