ULTAMID PYRAMID TENT
ZIP UP THE ULTAMID DOOR BEFORE LAYING IT OUT
AND STAKING IT.
TEMPORARILY STAKE OUT THE ULTAMID WITH 90-
DEGREE ANGLES AT EACH CORNER.
ADJUST EACH CORNER USING THE GUY LINES TO
ACHIEVE THE REQUIRED ANGLES THROUGHOUT THIS
PROCESS. THE GUYLINES SHOULD LINE UP WITH THE
SEAMS OF THE ULTAMID.
CREATE THE CENTER POLE BY PLACING YOUR
TREKKING POLE TIPS SIDE TO SIDE AND USING A SET
OF ULTAMID POLE STRAPS TO BIND THEM TOGETHER.

DIAGRAM 1.0

SET THE CENTER POLE HEIGHT TO ~64“ (163CM) FOR THE
ULTAMID 2 AND ~75” (191CM) FOR THE ULTAMID 4.
NOTE – HOW HIGH THE CENTER POLE IS AND HOW MUCH GUYLINE IS
EXTENDED WILL AFFECT HOW CLOSE THE BOTTOM OF THE ULTAMID IS TO
THE GROUND.
UNZIP THE DOOR TO GET INSIDE THE ULTAMID AND
INSERT THE CENTER POLE.
ADJUST THE HEIGHT TO GET THE ULTAMID TAUT ON ALL
SIDES.
NOTE – TO ACHIEVE EVEN TENSION AMONGST ALL FOUR SIDE WALLS, YOU
MAY HAVE TO LOOSEN TIGHT GUYLINES, AND TIGHTEN THE OPPOSING
SIDES. EVENING OUT THE TENSION IS THE KEY TO FLAT, TAUT WALLS.
RE-ZIP THE ULTAMID DOOR AND MAKE ANY NECESSARY
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STAKE OUT GUY LINES.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS:
ULTAMID PYRAMID TENT INSERTS
NOTE – INSERTS ARE MOST EASILY INSTALLED AFTER THE ULTAMID HAS
ALREADY BEEN PITCHED.
TEMPORARILY TAKE THE CENTER POLE OUT OF THE
ULTAMID.
PLACE THE CENTER POLE INTO THE PEAK OF THE INSERT.
RE-RAISE THE ULTAMID WITH ONE END OF THE CENTER
POLE IN THE INSERT’S PEAK AND THE OTHER CENTERED
ONTO THE GROUND (OR REINFORCED PATCH FOR AN
INSERT WITH A FLOOR).

FOR INSERT WITH DCF11 FLOOR: SPREAD OUT THE INSERT
FLOOR AND CENTER THE POLE ON THE REINFORCED
PATCH. NEXT, ATTACH THE CORNER SHOCK CORDS TO
THE D-RINGS AT EACH CORNER OF THE ULTAMID. AND
STAKE OUT THE CORNERS (RECOMMENDED, BUT OPTION-
AL).
FOR INSERT WITH NO FLOOR: STRETCH THE INSERT
CORNERS OUT TO ATTACH THEM TO THE D-RINGS ON
EACH CORNER OF THE ULTAMID.
FOR HALF INSERT: STAKE OUT THE INSIDE CORNERS AND
STRETCH THE WALL-SIDE CORNERS OUT TO ATTACH
THEM TO THE D-RINGS ON EACH CORNER OF THE ULT-
AMID.
IMPORTANT: ADJUST THE INSERTS CORNER TENSION
SHOCK CORDS AND STAKES UNTIL YOU ACHIEVE A
TAUT PITCH.

THE GOAL IS SIMPLE:
ARRIVE AT THE IDEAL
BALANCE OF STRENGTH,
WEIGHT AND
PERFORMANCE
TO CREATE GEAR
THAT’S BOMBPROOF
AND FOOLPROOF.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
CLEANING: Take the time on a dry sunny day and wash your
shelter out, spot-cleaning any areas that need it. A hose with a
bucket of water and a mild soap (powdered detergent works well,
do not use bleach) will work on any of our DCF fabrics. Air-dry
your shelter by either pitching it and leaving it out with the door
open or hang-dry it. Make sure your shelter is completely dry
before storage. This will help protect the fabric and keep it safe
from any damage.
STORAGE: Store your Hyperlite Mountain Gear products in a dry
place with minimal fluctuation in temperature if possible.
ONGOING MAINTENANCE/STORAGE: Periodically check
stake-out points and trekking pole contact areas for signs of
stress or tears and repair any damage before continued use.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY: If one of our products fails
due to a manufacturer's defect within one year, the original
purchaser may return it to us for repair, replacement or refund of
the original purchase price at our discretion. This warranty
protects the original owner against manufacturing defects in
workmanship and materials. Damage due to wear and tear,
accident, improper use, negligence, or the natural breakdown of
materials over extended time and use is not covered.
RETURN POLICY: If you are not satisfied with a product
purchased directly from Hyperlite Mountain Gear at the time you
receive it, you may return it, unused, for a refund of your purchase
price, within 15 days.
REPAIR POLICY: Contact us a 800.464.9208 with any questions
about repairs to our gear. We’re always happy to help.

MADE IN
THE USA.
USED
WORLDWIDE.

THE MAJORITY OF OUTDOOR GEAR COMPANIES OUTSOURCE
PRODUCTION TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES. WE DON’T.
WE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OUR GEAR IN A RENOVATED TEXTILE MILL IN
BIDDEFORD, MAINE. THE REASONS WHY ARE AS INTUITIVELY SIMPLE AS THE
GEAR ITSELF. WE BELIEVE “MADE IN THE USA” IS A WORTHWHILE ENDEAVOR
THAT BENEFITS OUR CUSTOMERS, OUR COMPANY, OUR EMPLOYEES AND THE
COMMUNITY WHERE WE DO BUSINESS.
IT IS ALSO CRITICAL TO US THAT OUR GEAR IS DESIGNED AND BUILT IN A PLACE
THAT’S RELEVANT TO ITS END USE. MAINE IS FILLED WITH THE KINDS OF
MOUNTAINS, FORESTS, TRAILS, RIVERS AND LAKES THAT INITIALLY FORMED
OUR PASSION FOR THE OUTDOORS. IT’S A PLACE THAT REMINDS US EVERY
DAY WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO.

MIKE ST. PIERRE / FOUNDER + CEO
HYPERLITE MOUNTAIN GEAR
BEING OUTDOORS, IMMERSED IN ADVENTURE
IS WHAT KEEPS ME CONNECTED TO WHAT’S
TRULY IMPORTANT AND NEEDED OUT THERE.
AS CEO, I FEEL IT IS CRUCIAL TO PURSUE THESE
ACTIVITIES WITH A PASSION, AND THEN FUNNEL
THOSE EXPERIENCES DIRECTLY INTO OUR
PRODUCTS AND COMPANY CULTURE.
OUR DESIRE IS TO BUILD EXACTLY WHAT YOU
NEED TO SUCCEED IN YOUR PURSUITS. LET US
KNOW HOW WE’RE DOING, AND FROM ALL OF US,
THANKS FOR CHOOSING OUR GEAR.”
