uncle-devMaybe but not soon. From a design perspective, some of the choices that are made to optimize a tent for 1 person aren't necessarily optimal for two person. What I mean is that 2 poles is the obvious way to go for 1P, but it might be worth going to a 3 or 4 pole design for two hikers if there is an elegant way to do this. I have some ideas.
The bottom line is that the X-Mid layout works really well for a small, light 2P tent. Something with a 45" wide inner floor, decent headroom, maybe 33oz. But for a generously sized 2P tent (50-55" wide floor) I think a fundamentally different design is the way to go since there's only so much headroom you can get out of 2 poles. Imagine a 6 person tent with just 2 trekking poles and it should be obvious why more structure would be advantageous. As the space needs go up, you have to add some complexity to address that, but only as little as necessary.
So if the X-Mid 1P sells well enough, I could see a 2P version following before too long since I have that design pretty far along (perhaps this winter). Then further out would be a more generous sized 2P tent with a totally different geometry.
ArcticmarineI can't even imagine how that would work.
Actually if you had three and then pitched two side by side and then put the third one upside down in between the first two.....
