Black Diamond MEGA LIGHT Manual Del Usuario página 3

TARP shelTeRs
Simple and elegant, our tarp shelters offer lightweight and inexpensive cover
for mountain travelers. While tarps have been around a long time, the unique
catenary cuts, careful choice of materials, zippered access and reinforced
tie-out points make these Black Diamond shelters a good choice for those
wanting the security and comfort of a tent... at the weight of a tarp.
Mega Lights have a single central support pole and Beta Lights use two
trekking or support poles. Both utilize 31 g (1.1 oz) silicone-coated nylon
ripstop to provide ultralight shelters that are extremely packable.

The pyramid has been a favored structural shape for more than five
thousand years. Our pyramid-shaped Mega Light uses a single pole in
the center and catenary-cut side seams to create a stable, wind-resistant
canopy. A storm-flapped zipper can be tied back in good weather, and
a small vent at the top encourages the exit of warm, moisture-laden air.
The Mega Light comes with a rugged, lightweight, carbon fiber pole
that weighs 320 g (11 oz). The Mega Light can also be set up by tying the
center to an overhead branch using the webbing loop at the apex.
The Mega Bug has an enclosed floor and bug netting to keep insects out
and can be used alone or in combination with the Mega Light. The Mega
Bug comes with fully taped seams.

By using your trekking or ski poles as supports, the Beta Light provides
maximum shelter for minimum weight. The Beta Light sleeps two. Poles
that extend to 132 cm (52 in) are required for a taut set up.
When bugs are your nemesis, the Beta Bug provides a full, sealed canopy
of lightweight no-see-um netting to separate you from the pests. On clear
nights, set it up by itself. The zippered door on one end allows easy access.
Betas can also be set up without poles by rigging a line and tying off the
apex loops using taut line hitches. Be sure to rig it so you can adjust the
length of the line and the direction of pull independently.
Extra tie-back loops are provided on the Beta Light so that the door can
be rolled back an extra panel on each side (this requires use of either the
Beta Bug or a separate cord to keep the pole from falling over). The Beta
Bug comes with fully taped seams.
