Hyperlite Mountain Gear Crosspeak 2 - is a two-person, freestanding tent designed with ultralight performance in mind. It features a single-wall construction made from Dyneema Composite Fabric for both the canopy and the floor, providing strength and water resistance while minimizing overall weight. The tent is supported by DAC Featherlite NSL aluminum poles that fold down to a compact 37 cm length and are stored externally in an integrated sleeve system for quick deployment. The full packed size is approximately 25 × 18 × 18 cm, with a total weight of around 964 g.
The interior floor spans approximately 223 cm in length, tapering from 122 cm wide at the head to 114.5 cm at the foot, with a peak height of 107 cm. This layout comfortably accommodates two standard sleeping pads and provides adequate headroom for seated occupants. For solo users, the extra space allows for organized gear storage inside the tent body. The design includes two vestibules — one on each side which extend the usable shelter area and are accessed through dual mesh doors. These vestibules are ideal for storing packs, boots, or cooking equipment outside the sleeping area while still protecting them from the elements. The use of mesh also promotes cross-ventilation, supporting airflow in warm or humid conditions.
The tent’s structure is stabilized by external pole sleeves made from 20D sil-nylon, which enhance rigidity and wind resistance. These sleeves hold the pole system in place along the outside of the canopy, contributing to a freestanding pitch that doesn’t require staking for basic setup. Peak vents located near the top of the canopy further assist with moisture management by allowing rising condensation to escape. Magnetic toggles secure the doors when open, while reflective markings on the pole segments make setup and orientation easier in low light or nighttime conditions. The bathtub-style floor, with raised edges, helps block splashing or running water during heavy rain, and the entire shelter is seam-taped for additional protection against moisture ingress.
Every element of the CrossPeak 2 is intended to strike a balance between weight, durability, and weather protection. Its compact dimensions and easy packability make it particularly suitable for activities like thru-hiking, bikepacking, and mountaineering, where minimizing bulk and simplifying setup are critical. The combination of premium materials, thoughtful structural features, and functional ventilation options results in a shelter that performs reliably in a range of conditions from exposed alpine terrain to dense, wet forests. Whether used for short overnight trips or extended expeditions, the tent is engineered to support lightweight travel without compromising on comfort or resilience.
