Covid has certainly thrown some uncertainty and delays in our restock of our products - we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Our high end factory in Vietnam was closed for over four months, but they have resumed production and we are near the front of the line. At this time, we anticipate production to finish in mid-January. We plan to open a presale for the #xmid1p and #xmid2p at that time, with tents arriving to the USA and then shipping customers within roughly 6-8 weeks. That will sell out quickly (within hours or days), so we recommend signing up for the stock notification email list on DurstonGear.com (link in bio) for whichever tent you are interested in. We will send a warning a few days prior with the launch time, and another email when it launches. We ship anywhere in the world. Thanks again for your continued interest and support!

<img src="https://durstongear.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="We've partnered with Lawson Equipment to produce the best guyline possible for a tent. Lawson has been producing a guyline known as Ironwire which uses a Dyneema core for max strength (650 lbs) and a partial Dyneema sheath for max abrasion resistance, while still being grippy enough to hold knots well. No other guylines have that partial Dyneema sheath. Additionally, the Dyneema makes the line sag free and ultra low stretch, so your tent will stand stronger with less deflection under high winds and snow loads. The only downside with Ironwire is that it has never come in a reflective version for night time visibility, which is important for tent guylines. Thus, we partnered with Lawson to add a 3M reflective tracer to create the ultimate tent guyline. We call it Reflective Ironwire and it comes in a 2.0 mm size that performs more like a 2.5mm cord because it doesn't stretch thinner under load like regular guyline. It works great with your X-Mid and the tensioners on most tents. Also makes for a great bear hang cord. Available now on DurstonGear.com.
