High Peak Hyper Lite

rated 4.0 of 5 stars

This is a good tent, not the best I have used, but otherwise good. I use mine as a 3 1/2 season tent lol It is dry, Keeps the wind off well, and warm inside in the cold. It seems to be a little narrow for two adults but tolerable.

I personally don't see the need or use for a dual door they could save weight by not having it. But for the price I'll deal with it. It is well made and durable that is a big plus for me (I am kind of rough with my equipment) & easy to set up with only one person. It does what it says it does, You can use it without the rain fly.

I know the bath tub bottom weighs a bit more but your sleeping bag will weigh a lot more if it gets wet. I have had that problem once. This is why I won't carry a down fill sleeping bag or a tent without a bath tub bottom unless I have to any more. If you have ever had this happen on day 3 of a 5 or 6 day trip you can see my point.

Over all it does its job good.

We received this tent as a gift. Prior to our campout, we set it up—-intuitive and fast set-up. One of the fiberglass poles did break under the strength of an over-eager teenager but we were able to fix it quick.

On the campout we set it up and three pre-teen boys fit in the tent comfortably. It would be a tight fit for two adults. It rained and snowed lightly on the campout and the tent kept the occupants dry.

The first time I used the tent one 12 foot long tent pole split. I tried to repair the pole, but it broke inside the connection. The pole then split. In the morning, I noticed that the second pole split in a similar manner. I then had to sleep in my vehicle for the rest of the trip. I never had a tent whose pole split, especially both poles. The tent was completely useless.

Love this tent, great material, triple sewn, heavier than what they say. Very dry in bad storms, rain fly is terrific. For the cost it's a great deal.
