help Yama Mountain Gear Dipole 1 FAQ

Does the Yama Mountain Gear Dipole 1 tent come with tent poles?

No, this ultralight single-person tent requires the use of two trekking poles for structural support. By utilizing the trekking poles you are already carrying, the shelter reduces the overall carried weight by omitting dedicated poles.

How much does the Yama Mountain Gear Dipole 1 weigh?

As a cottage-manufactured backpacking tent, the Dipole 1 is designed to strip away unnecessary weight, often weighing well under two pounds. The exact weight varies based on the specific fabric option selected at purchase.

Does the Yama Mountain Gear Dipole 1 offer enough room for two people?

The Dipole 1 is strictly designed as an ultralight single-person shelter, so it will be highly cramped for two. If you need extra space, you would need to step up to the Yama Dipole 2, which utilizes the same architecture but expands the floor dimensions.

Is the Yama Mountain Gear Dipole 1 freestanding?

No, because it relies on trekking poles and external guy-out lines, the Dipole 1 is a non-freestanding tent. This means it requires proper staking and tensioning into the ground to maintain its structural shape.
