UltaMid 2 – Ultralight Pyramid Tent

A great addition to my gear

Simple enough for a beginner, perfect for an expert

The Hyperlite Ultamid 2 is an exceptional trekking pole tent that combines ultralight design with robust performance, making it a standout choice for serious backpackers. Setting it up is remarkably straightforward. Using trekking poles for support, the shelter’s single-pole (or dual-pole) setup is intuitive and quick, even for those new to this style of tent. The included guylines and line locks are user-friendly, allowing for easy tension adjustments to achieve a taut pitch. With a bit of practice, you can have the tent ready in just a few minutes, whether you're at a windy ridge or a dense forest clearing. When it comes to protection against the elements, the Ultamid 2 truly excels. The Dyneema Composite Fabric, it is not only lightweight but also incredibly waterproof and durable. It shrugs off heavy rain effortlessly, ensuring a dry interior even during prolonged downpours. The tent also performs admirably in strong winds. Properly anchored, it remains stable and secure in challenging weather conditions. I absolutely love the minimalistic design, its light weight and roominess. I'd always used free-standing tents fearing the elements but the Ultamid 2 tent has dissipated those fears.

Awesome Tent

Used the Ultramid 2 along with the Insert with Floor and the Carbon Fiber Pole for a short weekend trip to Duncan's **** in Virginia. This tent is super light, easy to set up and very spacious. My son and I had plenty of room for ourselves and our packs with space to spare. The thin material lets in plenty of light and there was very good airflow. I'm very happy with this tent combo and look forward to longer trips along the AT.
