DD Superlight Pyramid Mesh Tent

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The DD Superlight Pyramid Mesh Tent can be used independently as a warm weather bug protected tipi style tent or combined with the Superlight Pyramid Tent for a 2 layer tipi style tent.

DD Hammocks says

The frame-free DD SuperLight Pyramid Mesh Tent is a great solution when travelling light or for minimal backpacking – and at just 565g (excluding pegs/guys) it won’t weigh you down. Add its outer counterpart, the DD SuperLight Pyramid Tent (sold separately) to create a waterproof tipi style set-up!

With slim pegging tabs and a central top loop, the tent can be rigged in 2 ways: either suspended from a branch or overhead point using guy rope, or propped up from underneath using just 1 hiking pole.

If you’re using it without its outer counterpart, you can enjoy it on a trip simply as protection from tropical insects (or from Scottish midges)!

Our Verdict

The Pyramid Mesh Tent is made of ultra-fine bug mesh and protects you against all sorts of biting insects. This makes the Pyramid Mesh tent ideal for use in warmer but dry conditions. It can be rigged by using a pole or just suspended from an overhead point which is very handy if you find yourself constantly changing to unknown layouts.

It’s spacious for a solo camper plus a rucksack, or comfortable for 2 people. It can be combined with the DD SuperLight Pyramid Tent (sold separately) to give it an outer waterproof layer, creating a 2 layer tipi style tent. Overall a great solution when travelling light or for minimal backpacking.

General care

• Over time repeated fold lines can start to weaken the fine material of your DD SuperLight gear. To pack away, we always recommend ‘stuffing’ your DD SuperLight gear into its bag instead.
• To preserve the strength of the material, avoid folding along the same lines too frequently (change after 10 times)
