Description

The Mega Light is a tarp/shelter made by Black Diamond. It has an average rating of 5 stars (out of 5), based on 2 user reviews.

Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Black Diamond Mega Light's SilNylon construction and simplistic design allow it to shelter four backpackers while only adding a mere 2lb 5oz to group weight. Unlike a crammed tent, the Mega Light provides 81sq feet of covered floor space and a roomy 57in height, so you have plenty of room when you need to wait out a storm. Use this Black Diamond shelter on a lightweight summer trip, or pitch it on the snow at base camp and dig out the floor to create a plush kitchen. The only thing that limits the Mega Light's use is your imagination."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"A roomy four-person floorless shelter, the Black Diamond Mega Light is built with lightweight, durable and waterproof SilNylon and comes with a rugged carbon fiber pole and our Pole Link Converter—if you’re already carrying two trekking poles or ski poles, save the weight and leave the tent pole at home. The Mega Light provides 4.7 square meters (50.7 square feet) of coverage, and the floorless design lets you set up your stove inside and have dinner without worrying about spilling on the floor. Add in the Mega Bug for three-season performance. The Mega Light shelter requires seam sealing with SilNet Sealer (not included).

"I have owned many tents. I am 53 years old and have been a backpacker/mountaineer for 33 years. The older I get, the more important light weight becomes.

The Mega-Light with a space blanket for a ground clothe is ideal. It is HUGE; advertised for 4 people (who would have to be very good friends)."

"Myself and my brother used a Mega Light on the Mont Blanc tour last September and I was very impressed. It has bags of room for two people at less than a kilo, took less than two minutes to put up and although condensation proved a problem on two mornings it served us really well. I would recommend this to anyone trekking Europe."
