Hyperlite Mountain Gear - UltaMid 4

Thanks for sharing. Don’t see a lot on Litefighter which in this day (of easy youtube reviews) it might be a little concerning, but the specs seem to be pretty nice, either way. Nowadays, I’m pretty fond of my HMG Ultamid 4, since it’s so light and versatile.. and I sure love to cook in the same place as I sleep. I have extensive experience with Bibler (Eldorado), TNF Westwind, and many of the venerable Moss Tents from 20-30 years ago (bought by MSR). Interestingly, one will often pay more $$ on EBay for a good conditioned Moss tent than they were ever sold for when they first came out. They were the only manufacturer whose tent fly seams never required seam sealant due to the type of thread that they used. But based on what you’re looking at, Kuiu might have some good offerings to compare to as well as the top lines of all the major tent makers. My sense is that once one is committed to a certain level of quality and durability, most of the tent makers will have some tent model which should be “pretty good” at what your going to use it for. Yet I have a hunch that Hilleberg seems to be in their own category, but don’t have any personal experience to corroborate that. And I’m sure someone can still find one of those TNF/Eureka ECWT designs out there which appear to be as strong as a tent could get, I’d suspect.
