Hyperlite Mountain Gear UltaMid Tent

No, the tent does not include poles. It is designed to be pitched using two trekking poles connected with an accessory pole strap, or you can purchase Hyperlite Mountain Gear's custom carbon fiber poles separately.

The pyramid shape is exceptionally stable in adverse weather because it sheds wind effectively from all directions. When pitched tautly using the eight perimeter tie-outs, it creates a highly secure, storm-proof shelter.

The UltaMid 2 is a single-wall shelter. While it offers excellent protection on its own, it is a modular system, meaning you can add a separate mesh insert or floor if you prefer a double-wall setup for bug protection or added moisture management.

The dual peak vents are positioned at the highest point of the tent to allow warm, moist air to escape before it condenses on the walls. While single-wall shelters will always have some condensation in humid conditions, these vents significantly improve airflow compared to non-vented designs.

Yes, it provides ample floor space for two people to sleep comfortably. Because it lacks a central pole, the interior feels very open, though you will need to be strategic about gear storage if you are using the tent without an insert.
