Changes to Duomid

I also believe he changed the cat cuts a bit so now you can pitch the front all the way to the ground.  Not sure if this is true, but I thought I’d pass along baseless rumor as fact just for the fun of it…..

Email MLD. Ron would undoubtedly have the answers.

I think Ron is away this week, so emails will go unanswered for a while.

From memory, Ron made a few changes about 18 months ago that dropped the overall weight a couple of oz. He also strengthened the tie-out points to reduce the possibility of stress-related damage.

Most important would be to find out how much use the DuoMid has had, and how it’s been stored in between trips.

This thread should give you an idea of what can happen to cuben shelters after extensive use. Note, we’re talking about 200 nights’ use, and most shelters listed on Gear Swap rarely see a fraction of that.

Looks like Ron is never off duty…

We’ve updated most of our products at least by some amount each year this year the main changes to all of the mids are our new much improved silnylon and improved vent design

This is true, I’ve asked Ron few weeks ago before ordering and he confirmed all the edges of the Duomid are straight.
