Based in British Columbia, Durston builds some of the lightest high-performance backpacking gear on the market, putting it through the absolute wringer of the Canadian Rockies during R&D. Its latest launch packs on a few ounces compared to some of its older shelters but unfurls into a roomier, more convenient freestanding double-wall dome that promises superior storm-readiness. The X-Dome series looks like it could be the ultimate compromise between on-ground camping comfort and low, back-saving weight.
