NEW Durston X-Dome 1+ (2026) – First Impressions After Setup

The Durston X-Dome 1+ (2026 release) is finally here, and in this video I’m sharing my first impressions, setup process, and a detailed look at the design and features of this popular ultralight backpacking tent. I’m reviewing the Solid version paired with the Carbon Short pole set, and I’ll walk you through how to pitch the tent step-by-step — starting with the fly, connecting the inner tent, and finishing with the groundsheet. You’ll also get a close look inside the tent to see the space, layout, and practical features that make the X-Dome 1+ stand out in the lightweight shelter category. Durston Gear has built a strong reputation for smart, functional designs, and the X-Dome platform introduces a freestanding double-wall option aimed at hikers and backpackers who want reliability, interior space, and low weight without compromise. If you’re considering the Durston X-Dome 1+, an ultralight 1-person tent, or looking for a new backpacking shelter for 2026, this video will give you a solid overview before hitting the trail. 👉 Let me know your thoughts about the X-Dome in the comments. ___________ 🌍 More Guides → https://trekwaves.com 📸 Instagram →   / pavotreks   ___________ 🎥 FILMING GEAR: Main Camera: Sony A7C II → https://amzn.to/49UsOUV Zoom Lens: Sony FE 24–105mm F4 → https://amzn.to/3ZO8bnk Wide Lens: Sony FE 16–35mm F2.8 GM → https://amzn.to/46l9MVp Drone: DJI Mini 5 Pro → https://amzn.to/3ZgtU7m Action Cam: DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro → https://amzn.to/3M9l5t0 Tripod: Sirui ST-124 + VA5 → https://amzn.to/4qiMLd0 Backpack Clip: Ulanzi F38 → https://amzn.to/4a7bLOg ⛺ OVERNIGHT HIKING GEAR: Backpack: Osprey Exos 58L → https://amzn.to/4teMiuR Tent: Naturehike Mongar 2P → https://amzn.to/3ZMAuTb Sleeping Mat: Nemo → https://amzn.to/3NWZhRV Sleeping Bag: Naturehike Envelope → https://amzn.to/4tfo1oC 📢 I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases through these Amazon links.
