Product Reviews
The new Black Diamond Beta Light is an ultra lightweight version of the popular Betamid. Created for the extremely weight conscious, this shelter is 50% more compact than the Betamid and 40% lighter. Weight in at a scant 22 ounces, the Beta Light can be used with the Betamid Floor (BLD0198) or the Beta Bug (BLD0548) to create a versatile, 3-season shelter. Usable floor space of 34.7sq. ft. keeps things roomy and functional. You simply won’t find a lighter shelter.

This is a great shelter if you use Trekking poles. This works for me. The Sil Nylon is a great material and is extremely weather resistant. However, in extremely wet environemnts condensation forms and will drip on you a bit, but it really is nothing when there is a monsoon outside and you are dry inside. It is roomy and light which makes it near perfect. I have sewn bug netting around the bottom and it is well worth the couple of extra ounces. All around it is my favorite backpacking shelter to date and I’ve had it for more than a year. Oh… Silnet is a must for the seams.
