Hyperlite Mountain Gear UltaMid Pyramid Tent

No, the tent does not include poles or stakes. It is designed to be pitched using your own trekking poles or a dedicated center pole accessory, which helps keep the packed weight down to just 1.4 lbs.

Yes, it is built for four-season conditions. The Dyneema Composite Fabric is exceptionally durable and waterproof, and the pyramid shape sheds wind and snow effectively, provided you secure it properly with the reinforced tie-outs.

The UltaMid is a floorless pyramid shelter, which is a design choice that prioritizes weight savings and versatility. If you need protection from insects or a floor, you will need to purchase a compatible insert or ground sheet separately.

It requires a bit of practice to get a taut pitch, especially in high winds. Once you master the geometry of the four corners and the center pole height, it becomes a quick and reliable process.

The dual peak vents are designed to create a chimney effect, allowing moist air to escape. While no single-wall shelter is completely immune to condensation, these vents significantly reduce buildup compared to shelters without active ventilation.

The 85 square feet of floor space provides enough room for four people to sleep, but it will be a cozy fit. It is best suited for groups who are comfortable sharing close quarters or for those who want a spacious shelter for two or three people with extra gear.
