Amazon.com Product Description

Lightweight and compact, the High Peak Hyper Lite two-person tent is ideal for hikers and backpackers who want to stay light on their feet. The tent is made of 100-percent polyester, with a polyester flysheet and polyethylene floor combining to keep the tent dry and warm. The Hyper Lite also features two separate entrances, so campers don't have to step over their tentmates to exit the tent. Most importantly, the tent measures only 20.5 inches long when folded and weighs 6.6 pounds total. As a result, the tent fits easily in a hiking pack. Other features include inner tent pockets for gear storage, a ring-and-pin system for easy setup, and no-see-um mesh walls for convenient ventilation. The Hyper Lite measures 7 by 3.75 by 5 feet (W x H x D).

3.0 out of 5 stars It's alright, June 22, 2008

This review is from: High Peak Hyperlite 2-person Tent (Misc.)

I bought the tent to use on small trips in the Adirondacks. Considering the price it was a fairly good deal. It is easy to set up and dismantle in just a few minutes. The full rain-fly is nice as well. There are a few problems, however. The tent is rather small for two people with equipment typically carried while backpacking. If you have a large pack, you'll have to leave it outside- or hope it fits in the vestibule. My boyfriend is a little over 6 feet tall and he had to sleep at a slight diagonal due to the dimensions of the footprint. The vestibules themselves are usefull for leaving small items outside (while still having them protected), like dirty boots. My main concern with this tent are the fiberglass poles. I set the tent up once to see it before using it. I used the tent once after that and the firberglass was actually bending, not just flexing, but creased. The third time I set it up, one section of pole broke. No unecessary force or strain was used that would have caused it to break.

It's not very compact thought I suppose it could be, but is fairly lightweight. The tent itself is nice and the fly kept moisture out. I would suggest purchasing aluminum poles if possible, as they are sturdier and more lightweight. I give this tent a 3 because it would be great for solo trips, had the poles been a better quality.

I completely agree with the previous review. It's a nice little tent if you're not very tall. Two people can sleep in it but there's no room for any gear whatsoever, and the fiberglass poles split after only one season of mild use. I have found it very difficult to find poles that will fit this tent in most outfitters and have resorted to purchasing aluminum poles on-line so I can continue using the tent. Given the hassles I've had with it, if I had it to do over I'd spend more and buy a tent made by a more well-known manufacturer.

Good buy for the price. Survived heavy thunderstorms and winds with minimal seepage. vestibule added feeling of extra security although small for 2 persons and not so light as the name would have you think.
