We’ve got something extra special lined up for our 24th Collective Reward gear giveaway. One lucky Bikepacking Collective member (it’s not too late to join!) will receive an UltaMid 2 Ultralight Pyramid Tent courtesy of our friends at Hyperlite Mountain Gear. Weighing in at just 1.17 pounds (534g) and made in the USA from 100% waterproof Dyneema® Composite Fabrics, we’ve been hugely impressed by the super light, super spacious UltaMid 2. In fact, it even earned a place in our 2016 Bikepacking Gear of the Year Awards. Along with the UltaMid 2, the winner will also receieve a set of Ruta Locura 710 carbon fiber tent poles that conveniently break down into four sections for packing. The retail value of this giveaway is $820, and we’re thrilled to be able to set one of our supporters up with this shelter to enjoy for years to come.

Cass put his UltaMid 2 through the wringer, sleeping in it during countless nights in a wide variety of environments and conditions. From a multi-week bikepacking trip through Bolivia and Peru, to route scouting in Georgia’s Caucasus Mountains, to a riding through the expansive Salar de Uyuni salt flats, he thoroughly tested the UltaMid 2 for his long-term review (read it here).

According to Cass, “The UltaMid 2 is hands down the best tent I’ve tried. Not only is it a refreshingly fun shelter to camp in, it’s both versatile ridiculously light – especially given its generous headroom, cavernous living space, and the fact that it’s hardy enough for genuine 4 season use. The latter is something that can’t be said of all ultralight shelters.”

From Hyperlite Mountain Gear, “When it comes to portable shelter, few designs have been as thoroughly time-tested and proven as those built in the pyramid-style. They’re easy to set up, efficiently spacious, and because of things like physics, incredibly capable of providing sanctuary in all but the most extreme weather.”
