    Really enjoyed the drone footage and soundtracks. Have added this hike to our list.

    Absolutely astounding! Drone footage shows how incredible the area truly is. And love the tent 😍 How do you find it holds up in SA conditions (berg/Cederberg in winter; wind) or is that the Solid?

      Thanks so much, Edwin! 💪 This area is truly remarkable. I was ecstatic when I saw how well it was captured in the video.
      This is the X-mid 2 standard version. I have yet to use it in the Drakensberg (I have a trip coming up at the end of April), but it has proven to be durable and surprisingly warm when I used it towards the end of winter. I must admit I'm a bit nervous about the potential Drakensberg winds, but only time will tell! I'll definitely keep you updated 🤘 This is the first 2-person tent that can actually accommodate two people comfortably. This was our first hike where we decided to ditch a tent and just take this one as a trial, it worked out perfectly! When I've used this tent solo, it feels like I'm in a palace. I'm really pleased with it. Those winds, though 🌬️, will be the real test!

      I heard it’s actually extremely adept in high winds if you use all the guy lines etc so I’m sure it will hold up in the berg winds! Will be hiking there myself in May so please do provide feedback - always wondered how the mesh inner would cope in our winter (as opposed to going for the xmid solid). Otherwise I’m looking forward to seeing your video on that one after this absolutely exquisite footage 🤩
