UltaMid 2 Half Insert

Gooood👍

I bought the ticket, so I took the ride. Own the Ultimid 2, own the full insert, so hence the ticket. Product is overly complicated and heavy. The ripstop fabric/spreader(?) at the top of the tent seems very unnecessary and heavy/bulky. A simple malaria style top would have been better and easier to attach. My Ultimid was from the first batches and did not have loops in the apex. The insert did not come with a cup to put under the pole or even instructions of any sort to have a beer, drink, read and set up in the yard. I had to fabricate a trekking pole attachment system. I am not picky, so it will work. Reached out to customer service and they suggested I send in my mid to have loops put on it. Sounds like a time consuming pain to me. I live in Maine, and want to support Maine/USA products, so I am happy to deal with the little things. For the HIGH cost and MEXICO MADE (found out after I bought it) product, I am disappointed with the experience but have bought into the platform. I could not find another cottage company insert that would fit. I also think a nylon floor would be better for packing size since it is always under the mid. Also there is no mid wall attachment loop, seems like a no brainer since there is a ring on the mid for the full insert and putting it on provides the option for windy conditions. Just my 2 cents. Happy hiking.

Great

Lightweight and spacious. The half insert turns the Ultamid 2 into a palace for 1. The DCF tub floor is tough and gives me peace of mind when pitching on rocky terrain. For the price it would have been nice to have a gear net in the top for your headlamp or a pocket on the side for your phone. Quality construction and have no regrets.

My first night in the tent was great.

But I think you should have a bit thicker material in the inner tent. At least windproof.

I set it up after dark and it took on the nerves to find a way for the guylines on the top of the inner tent through the small and narrow loops in the top of outer tent.
