Hyperlite Mountain Gear says:
Our legendary four-season, four-person ultralight pyramid shelter.
The UltaMid 4 has the dimensions to accommodate a group of four, serve as a basecamp shelter, or provide protection for packrafting, alpine expeditions, or bikepacking gear. When it comes to portable shelters, 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 22.4 oz. weight of the UltaMid 4 will be a welcome reduction to any kit’s overall mass, you can put any concerns to rest that it translates to a sacrifice in durability. The Ultamid 4 can be pitched high off the ground or tight to the ground. Set up with adjustable trekking poles or suspend from the central peak. UltaMid Inserts, Ultralight Stake Kit, and UltaMid Carbon Fiber Tent Pole sold separately.
