Built for 3 with room to spare, the Lightning HT Tent from High Sierra has a unique geometry that creates steep sidewalls and ample head-room via a unique ridge pole that maximizes interior space without drastically increasing weight or compromising integrity. A full-coverage rainfly allows you to batten down the hatches when the sky opens up while air-lift venting keeps the air moving and traditional tent-and-fly design thwarts condensation. The mesh walls and ceilings offer bug-free star gazing on clear nights, while opposing side doors make it easy to get into and out of the tent without disturbing the other campers. With tough DAC swivel hub poles, strong ultra-light clips, Jake's Corners for strength, a PVC-free seam taped fly, and Superseal Floor, the Lightning HT delivers the all-weather stamina you need with minimal poundage. Ideal for comfortable backpacking adventures, the Lightning HT is designed for spacious live-ability that will not weigh you down.

The Lightning HT Fastpack Footprint (sold separately) adds function, durability, and versatility to your tent. Constructed of durable 1800-millimeter 70D Nylon, the Footprint protects the tent floor from dirt, gravel, and sharp objects while keeping ground moisture out. Use the Footprint with the just the tent's rainfly and poles to save up to 30 percent your packing weight when all you need is an ultra-light shelter.
