"Black Diamond Mirage. Big blow coming? Point this aerodynamic tent's knife-blade profile into the wind, and let the gale pass over -- and around -- you. The dual-hub pole system is both stable and fast to pitch." - Backpacker Magazine 2008 Gear Guide
Description
The Black Diamond Mirage is among the lightest, strongest double-wall tents available. It is the optimal shelter for gram-counting backpackers and climbers. The Mirage’s integrated vestibule is designed with a unique “side angle,” thereby keeping gear nearby and accessible but clear of the doorway.
The Mirage employs fast-pitch hubs and variable-diameter DAC Featherlite® poles to ensure a simple, speedy setup and, belying their feather weight, unrivaled rigidity in high-wind situations. Built with a 360-degree-view mesh upper and a nylon ripstop lower perimeter for privacy, the Mirage has excellent ventilation without feeling too open to the prying eyes of others.
For major weight savings the tents can be set up with only the fly and optional ground cloth.
