Inner-only pitching for warm, settled nights
Durston says:
Simple Pitching of Your Inner Tent
The Stargazer Kit enables easy pitching of your 2025 X-Mid 1 or 2 inner tent (does not work with pre-2025 models nor Pro series tents). It uses matching buckles which clip to the existing buckles on the peaks of your inner tent while grommets makes it easy to add your poles. Peak guylines are included and easily adjust with cord tensioners that match the rest of your tent.
Pitching -
To use the Stargazer kit, start by staking out the 4 corners of your floor so it lays taut in its parallelogram shape. Then buckle the Stargazer adapters to the two peaks with the matching buckles.
Then one peak at a time, extend your pole so it is 2-4" (5-10 cm) taller than the inner tent peak, insert the pole tip into the grommet, and stake out the guyline. The guyline should be aimed approximately in line with the ridgeline. Orienting the guyline in other direction will twist the inner and decrease space.
Use the provided tensioner to snug up the line and repeat at the other peak.
Our Verdict
At just 25g, the Durston X-Mid Stargazer Kit is a neat addition for 2025+ X-Mid 1 and X-Mid 2 tents, letting you pitch the inner on its own without the fly.
You keep full bug protection while opening the shelter completely to airflow, which makes a lot of sense on warm, dry nights.
The setup is straightforward, with adapters clipping to the inner peaks and your trekking poles supporting the structure through the supplied guylines.
It is definitely a fair-weather accessory, with less stability in wind, but the tiny weight makes it an easy option to carry when settled conditions are expected.
