I am looking to buy a two person Mid. I have checked out the offerings from MLD and Bearpaw and like them. Are there any other cottage companies that offer a quality 2 person Mid I should look at? I am looking at silnylon rather then cuben to hold down the cost, so I am nixing the Zpacks Hexamid.
Jan 29, 2013 at 9:13 am #1948406There's also SMD, Oware and Locus Gear which can all make mids or mid-type shelters.
There's a few companies that offer tipi style tents like Seek Outside, Kifaru and Ruta Locura.
Then there's a few non-cottage options like Golite and Black Diamond.
There might be some others too that I'm forgetting.

The SO LBO is sort of a mid hybrid, it depends on how you configure it. We do manufacture larger tipi style tents as well.
