Amongst the lightest and most basic forms of shelter available, tarps create a barrier between dwellers, weather, and critters. But there’s a caveat–an effective setup can take time, and the surroundings can add further complexity to what you have to work with–or without. Enter the UltaMid 1 . Cut and shaped with six strategically placed perimeter tie-outs and requiring just one trekking pole for structure, it pitches fast and reliably every time you use it. With many of the same easy-to-live-with exterior features found on its all-enclosed sibling, the UltaMid 1 , the UltaMid 1 is incredibly light, takes up as much space as a water bottle when it’s rolled up, covers an area of 40 sq ft, and, because it’s built with 100% waterproof Dyneema Composite Fabrics, offers outstanding protection against rain. If you’re into the simple life, the UltaMid 1  is calling you home.

Home sweet home

Just wrapped up a thru-hike of the Colorado Trail and utilized this as my shelter. It served me very well for this trip and I look forward to more adventures with it. Key takeaways - ultralight, low volume, storm worthy, quick drying, simple to setup, plenty spacious for one, cleverly featured, and just all around awesome! Highly recommend!

Bikepack versatility

I think I found the perfect bikepacking shelter . Paired with a bivy for inclement weather or a bug bivy for summer , the versatility is key here. Very quick pitch (I use dursten poll thst fits in my frame bag easy) . This packs down super small to fit in sleep kit handlebar roll or on a fork leg .

I’m looking forward to taking this to Iceland this summer and parts of the Colorado trail . I’ll even consider carrying on ultra races if weather is iffy, for a peace of mind not having to rely on town shelters . Awesome shelter for bikepacking .

Quick, ez setup. Small footprint.

Switching from a shaped tarp to a solo mid for the balance of my 2024 PCT hike. Paired with an ultralight bivy, this tarp offers better coverage than my tarp at a very slight weight penalty. I’m 5’10, 180lbs and have plenty of room inside on a 3” pad. Peg the 4 corners with the mid square and the trekking pole lifts the mid perfect every time. The vestibule guy line needs to be a little longer and I’m not sure why HMG sewed in bug netting for the ridge vent on an open tarp.

4.5 stars.
