When it comes to portable shelter, few designs have been as thoroughly time-tested and proven as those built in the pyramid-style. They’re easy to set up, efficiently spacious, and because of things like physics, incredibly capable of providing sanctuary in all but the most extreme weather.
While the remarkable 1.17 lbs. weight of the UltaMid 2 will be a welcome reduction to any kit’s overall mass, put any concerns to rest that it translates to a sacrifice in durability. The 100% waterproof Dyneema® Composite Fabrics used to build this elegant structure will outlast garden-variety silnylon materials many times over. Get cozy with the idea of unpacking the comfort and security of home, wherever home may be, for years to come. The UltaMid 2 can be pitched high off the ground or tight to the ground. Set up with adjustable trekking poles or suspend from central peak.

Very nice product with high qualty.
Perfect
Haven't had a chance to use this tent but can verify it is SUPER Ultralight and very well made! I love the overall size especially the vestibule area and height. The 1 person insert is large and super Ultralight too. One of the best investments I have made.
Expensive yes, but worth every penny.
I have used this tent now on a number of backpacking trips in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and most recently, Gates of the Arctic N.P. in Alaska. The tent performed flawlessly in all weather conditions thrown at it, including hail, snow and 30 mph winds. Very easy to set up and stake out for either full airflow or to lock down when the winds are howling.
I have the full insert with tub and love the ability to set up and take down even in inclement weather. This comes in handy on rainy mornings while others struggle with their tents and staying dry. The roominess of the tent for one person and full gear is a palace compared to conventional UL “2 person” tents.
I would definitely recommend the optional carbon fiber pole for setup in lieu of trekking poles if you plan to use as a basecamp though on longer expeditions.
Looking forward to many years of use with this winner!
Shoulder season in the high cascades
Light and bomber. Def a little on the bulky side but absolutely worth it and packs smaller the more I use it. Just used it for a week in the high cascades and it handled some serious wind and rain/sleet camped out about treeline. Love this thing.
Took a while to get the hang of pitching it well, but now I find it second nature. Practiced a bunch in the weeks leading up to my trip but obviously everything is differently when you're on the side of a mountain. No issues figuring out weird pitches on tough terrain once I was out there.
Best Ever!
In 20 years of professional guiding and instruction, this is the best shelter I have used. Bombproof security in the harshest conditions. More durable than anything in its weight class. It handsdown outperformed the five other shelters that were out in the Wind Rivers with me this past trip in some of the most heinous conditions! Torrential downpour and 50+ mph winds, mud, snow, talus, krumhotz. The only complaint was that I did not bring a mosquito insert to save weight. This may be the one tent that ruled them all!
