Hyperlite Mountain Gear says:
Amongst the lightest and most basic forms of shelter available, tarps create a barrier between dwellers, weather, and critters. But there’s a caveat–an effective setup can take time, and the surroundings can add further complexity to what you have to work with–or without. Enter the UltaMid 1.
Cut and shaped with six strategically placed perimeter tie-outs and requiring just one trekking pole for structure, it pitches fast and reliably every time you use it. With many of the same easy-to-live-with exterior features found on its all-enclosed sibling, the UltaMid 1 , the UltaMid 1 is incredibly light, takes up as much space as a water bottle when it’s rolled up, covers an area of 40 sq ft, and, because it’s built with 100% waterproof Dyneema Composite Fabrics, offers outstanding protection against rain. If you’re into the simple life, the UltaMid 1 is calling you home.
