Description

The Black Diamond Mega Light 4P is an ultralight floorless pyramid shelter for four, built around a single carbon fiber center pole or a pair of trekking poles. The single-wall 30D polyester body with PU coating and factory-taped seams weighs 1280 g total, or 320 g per person at full capacity - a solid number for a shared shelter in this category. The 4.7 m² floor area (269 x 269 cm) sounds roomy for four, but once you subtract sleeping space and packs, it's realistically a comfortable fit for two to three people with gear. Being floorless means all your equipment shares space with the group and a separate groundsheet is needed; with one door and zero vestibules, entry and exit for four people at once isn't especially convenient. Reflective guylines help with orientation in the dark, and the 3-season-extended rating accounts for light snow loads. The Mega Light 4P suits backpackers and thru-hikers looking to split a lightweight shelter and willing to accept the floorless trade-offs for a low per-person weight.
