UltaMid 2 – Mesh Half Insert with DFC Floor

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Lightweight, protective, and adaptable, the UltaMid 2 Mesh Half Insert enhances comfort on any backpacking severe adventure.

Hyperlite Mountain Gear says: 

The one-person room inside the UltaMid 2 shelter for protection agains bugs and moisture.

The UltaMid 2 Half Insert with a bathtub-style Dyneema® Composite Fabrics floor is ideal for solo adventurers, providing bug-free comfortable sleep on one side of the tent. Use the other side to protect and store all of your gear on dry ground or on our Ground Cloth if moisture is a concern. The Half Insert is also an excellent option for separating filthy gear from your somewhat less filthy sleep system or clothes. UltaMid 2 Tent, Ultralight Stake Kit, and UltaMid Carbon Fiber Tent Pole sold separately.

Our Verdict

The Hyperlite Mountain Gear UltaMid 2 Mesh Half Insert with DCF Floor is a versatile addition to the UltaMid 2 shelter. Designed specifically for solo adventurers, this insert provides a bug-free, dry sleeping area on one side of the tent, leaving the other free for storing gear. Weighing just 412 grams, it’s a lightweight solution that offers excellent protection against moisture and insects.

The floor is made from durable Dyneema Composite Fabric, which is fully waterproof and robust enough to handle rougher ground. For me, the option to transition between a simple tarp setup and a more protective insert makes this a flexible piece of kit. 

Although it adds some weight to the shelter system, the UltaMid 2 Mesh Half Insert strikes an outstanding balance between comfort and practicality for ultralight backpackers tackling buggy or damp conditions.
