Hyperlite Mountain Gear CrossPeak 2 Freestanding Tent

So thin, so light, so roomy, so well made. Just so good!
I was sure I’d tear it first time I put it up. No way the tub floor would last on anything other manicured lawn? But it didn’t tear, the floor didn’t abrade and leak at the fist sight of a stray stick or loose stone. Dyneema Composite Fabric is tough stuff.
The tent perfectly fits two Nemo Tensor, regular wide sleeping pad with foot room to store our two 50 litre packs. Twin vestibules makes for easy two person access. There are loads of cool design features like built in tub supports in each corner with ultra fine cords that triangulate to the peg out points. Tension straps only at the head end (a couple of inches wider than the foot end) and only on one end of the cross pole. I love the magnetic flap ties and condensation gutters at each end. Admittedly only small weight savings but reflective of a weight consciousness that I appreciate.
The Mexican build quality is excellent as are the minimalist zips, poles and fly mesh.
Easy to pitch and once set doesn’t stretch or sag. I expected the tent to be stable and weather proof, which it was but what stunned me is how quiet it is. On our last night atop a wind blown, Central Queensland sandstone escarpment with trees thrashing all around I realised that the tent doesn’t flap like virtually every other tent I have used.
The tent needs to be folded quite carefully to pack small and some may think that at the price you should get pegs, which is fair. Still it does mean you can research and review pegs to go with a really cool tent.
