New design eliminates over 40% of seams vs. other Mid designs. No long vertical side panel seams joining the midpanel sides! Side panels are joined near the peak by a much shorter horizontal seam. This is stronger and requires 40% fewer seams and save over 1.5oz of seam sealer Vs other Mids. Stronger- Lighter!
MLD Pyramids were used by Erin And Bretwood Higman for their 4,000+ mile hike from Seatlle to the end of Alaska. groundtruthtrekking.org
We have included their 300+ nights of living in MLD SuperMids feedback into our 2010 SUPERMID to make MLD Pyramids strong for all types of weather. See their blog for a pic of the Silnylon Pyramid still standing under 400lbs of snow buried to the top! The vista pic below is from one of their Alaska 2010 adventures.

• 70 sq/ft of usable floor space perfect for four friendly people or a palace for two or three.
• Oversize peak vent can be closed. -Pull out the wand and the vent velcros tightly shut for hard wind and blowing rani and snow.
• Plenty of room to stand up and side wall shed snow well.
• Main seams are triple rolled and stitched (MLD Exclusive) and flat felled.
• Interior Apex hang loop
• Apex reinforced with DYneema X
• Both doors roll open and tie back.
• Mid height zipper door snaps allows it to be partially opened.
• Eight ground level perimeter tieouts with LineLocs for easy adjustment. LineLocs make cold weather and winter use (burried snow anchors) MUCH easier. Linelocks can be removed to save about one ounce.
• Center side panel tie outs on all sides for really high winds.
• Hi Vis yellow guyline Included
• 18\" pole jack included. 2oz- Let\'s you use only one trek pole.
NOTES:
• ONLY zip the zipper up OR down when the bottom buckle is fastened to relieve stress on the zipper. Clean and Lube the Zipper as Needed.
• Most of the time you will pitch it a few inches off the ground for ventilation.
• In high winds, the use of side panel tieouts are recommended. ALWAYS use a short bungee loop on side panel tieouts and do not over tighten the side pullls or they will get 75%+ of the load on that one mid panel tieouts- you want the load distributed over all the tieouts.
