High Peak Hyper Lite 2 Person Compact Hiking Camping Tent

I am 6'2" and found this tent to be exactly the right length for me. I spent a weekend looking up at the stars while snug in this tent. It comfortably held my single air mattress. When I lay on my back, with the screen flap closed but the other flaps open, the shape of the tent allowed me to look straight up at the stars. It was WONDERFUL.

The tent went up easily, put it up myself. It packs up easily as well. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a one person tent. Perhaps it would hold two but it would be pretty tight. With the single air mattress, I had enough room to the side to store my clothes and such.

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.

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.

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.
