Black Diamond HiLight tent, vestibule, & footprint

Recommended Posts

Two man 4-season tent with vestibule and footprint. Total floorspace including vestibule is 40sq.ft. Has its door on the long side providing great access, ventilation, and views (one of my favorite features). Lightweight aluminum poles (3 total: 2 long, 1 short) and ground stakes, upper mesh vent and mesh half window on the door. Zero holes or damage, no stains, both tent and vestibule are fully seam sealed. This thing kept me completely dry and safe during one h3ll of a storm last Nov on a ridgeline off Hardscrabble Mesa. I'd estimate winds at 50+mph as it shot up off the rock cliff below me. Never collapsed or leaked; bomber!

 

I paid a total of $600 for all 3 items. Asking $400 FTF or shipped. Stuff sacks

Nice tent! Looks like the total weight is around 4.5 lbs? I am in the market, but wanting to stay around 3 lbs or less...so probably gonna have to be a 3-season 1-man tent.

Yeah, tent and vestibule come in right about there. I generally don't take the footprint unless I really think I'm going to need it. And I've only used the vestibule when I anticipate rain or actually need space to store gear. It was very nice to have last Nov and surprised the heck outta me when it didn't get ripped off the tent in that wind. Most of my use has been the tent by itself and that's about 3.5.
