Pyramid shelters are rapidly becoming a staple for a variety of adventurers. The Cinder Cone is one of the best 4P mids around, clocking in at just 27oz (765g). Don't just take our word for it, check out SectionHikers review at the link below. Without spoiling the in-depth review, here are some of the highlights:
- Effective lightweight shelter for 4-season camping in exposed areas with few windbreaks.
- Innovative ventilation system
- 10D Sil/Sil ripstop nylon packs very small and sheds snow more easily than DCF

Dang, thats a Nice Flat Tarp. When ultralight is the name of the game, and you need something that is versatile, easy to pitch, and will protect you in a pinch, the NFT is your best friend. At 12.3oz (349g) on its own, and 23.5oz (667g) when combined with the SplitWing Mesh body, the NFT can truly meet all of your thru-hiking needs. It stands out from the other tarps on the market with subtle caternary curves on the long edges, which give it a perfect pitch in many configurations, not just A-frame. While DCF tarps will come in a smidge lighter than our 10D Nylon 66 ripstop Sil/Sil fabric, this tarp crushes on packability (about the size of a grapefruit) and durability. No more babying it when you throw it in your pack.

At just 1lb 11.4oz min weight and a paper-towel roll packed size, it might seem like the Cinder Cone 4P Pyramid is a bit scant for real backcountry expeditions. Showed us that couldn't be further from the truth, pushing his Cinder Cone into service deep into the Brooks Range. Pyramids are becoming quite popular for a reason, and we think you will agree that this is one of the best on the market.
