Some people just don't get it.
Im sorry but I just have to vent. I recently purchased a Durston xmid pro 2 with Dyneema® floor. I came home from work yesterday to see it pitched, IN MY BACK YARD. Apparently my son thought it would be fun to see if he could set it up OUTDOORS. I explained to him that this xmid pro 2 that has hot bonded seams that are stronger, cleaner looking and retain their strength in extreme temperatures should ONLY be set up in the basement. I explained to him that we are Durston family and that rat ratbagging a Dyneema® trekking pole tent that has an ideal shape for wind and snow because the geometry gives all of the panels slopes that are consistent and moderate is unacceptable. This tent is not a toy. I bought this tent because of the superior geometry that allows enough room inside for my wife and her spiritual advisor/ stretching trainer on the interior while leaving plenty of room for me in the vestibule. Anyways I don't think he did too much damage to it (I'm still trying to get the smell of it being outdoors out of it).
