Mountain Laurel Supermid

Mountain Laurel Supermid. Spaciious and strong these are amazing light pyramids made from siliconised nylon. I bought it for use in the Arctic but ended up using something else, so this is unused. They are designed to be used with ski or trekking poles rather than carrying dedicated tent poles.

Manufacturer says it sleeps 4 but it would be ideal for 2.

Orange colour as above. Brand New, unused.

RRP $USD385 (AUD550)

The SuperMid accompanied Erin and Bretwood Higman on their record setting 4,000 + mile hike from Seattle to the end of Alaska. Check out their blog for a pic on a SuperMid still standing after being buried to the top with 400 lbs of snow!

We included their 300 + nights of daily living feedback in their SuperMid into our design to make sure this thing stands strong in all types of weather.

“The Mountain Laurel Designs SuperMid earned a perfect ten for livability – it has a much larger footprint than all the other shelters we tested – and it can sleep four people….The Mountain Laurel Designs SuperMid in SilNylon is the best value pyramid shelter we have tested.” – OUTDOOR GEAR LAB

To make our pyramid tents so strong, we use an MLD Exclusive panel design that eliminates over 40% of seams vs. other designs. Thanks to our innovation the side panels can be joined near the peak by a much shorter horizontal seam making our tents stronger, and lighter. Does it work? From how often our panel design has been copied, we’d have to say yes.

FEATURES
