In addition to being ultra-light (just 1.3 pounds!) the 4-person sports a spacious 85 square feet of floor space plenty of room for spreading out gear. If set up properly, the HMG UltaMid is dryer than a double wall tent as it ventilates better and any moisture drains out. When camped below timberline I often hang the apex off a line tied between two trees so there is no center pole and even more room . very luxurious. Early season in the Winds is buggy and the mesh insert (1-pound) will keep the mosquitoes out. In addition to both winter and summer adventures in the Rockies, I have used my HMG UltaMid on expeditions to Mongolia, Patagonia, and Alaska. After three years of heavy 4-season use it is still going strong. Look for it in the Winds this summer.
I second Hyperlite! Forrest gives the stats correctly....From Greenland, Patagonia, Canada, Colorado and soon India.... Rain, snow, WIND...mine is still going strong!!! Check them out!!! hyperlitemountaingear.com/h…
