CARE INSTRUCTIONSFAQ'S:
- Is the CrossPeak 2 good for stormy or wet backpacking conditions? Yes. The CrossPeak 2 is built for serious three-season protection with Dyneema® Composite Fabric that’s naturally waterproof and seam-taped. Its fully enclosed design, reinforced pitch points, and storm-ready profile make it one of the most weather-resistant ultralight shelters for backpackers facing high wind, heavy rain, or sustained moisture on the trail.
- Can the CrossPeak 2 handle wind and shoulder-season storms? Absolutely. Its steep-walled shape and rugged construction are designed to shed wind and resist deformation in bad weather. While it’s not intended for deep winter or alpine snow loads, the CrossPeak 2 performs exceptionally well in the unpredictable conditions often found in spring, summer, and fall backpacking.
- How does the CrossPeak 2 compare to the Zpacks Duplex or Durston X-Mid Pro 2 in weather resistance? Unlike many ultralight tents with open or partial enclosures, the CrossPeak 2 offers full protection with a fully enclosed, seam-taped Dyneema® design. It’s better suited for backpackers prioritizing storm performance and moisture management—especially in exposed or wet conditions where reliable shelter is non-negotiable.
- Does the CrossPeak 2 require trekking poles to set up? No. The CrossPeak 2 uses 3 strong aluminum DAC Featherlite NFL 8.7mm poles that outperform carbon poles with a negligible weight penalty, thus saving weight and simplifying your gear list.
- What makes Dyneema® ideal for weather-resistant ultralight shelters? Dyneema® Composite Fabric is naturally waterproof, incredibly strong for its weight, and doesn’t stretch or sag when wet. This means better tension, faster drying, and less fuss during storms—perfect for backpackers who need their gear to perform when it matters most.

“The inside is spacious and it's a remarkable design both in terms of weight and volume. We got several inches of snow one day that I was testing it and the shelter held up well.”

Been waiting for this tent
“Super easy to set up, feels really sturdy and the quality you'd expect from Hyperlite. It vents quite well and even on the east coast in a humid environment I didn't have any big condensation problems.”
- Will P.
Amazing tent!
“I took this on a summit attempt of Glacier Peak in WA in late June. Ultralight, strong, and well built. Temperatures dropped to the mid-30s one night and we did not notice any condensation inside the tent.”
