The Exped Lyra II is built to provide lightweight, freestanding, and affordable shelter for 2 people in 3 seasons for backpacking and trekking. Pole segments are unified into a continuous, shock-corded array for rapid set-up. The convenient clips allow quick and simple attachment of the canopy. 2 doors and 2 vestibules allow easy entry, exit, and gear storage. Endostructure poles (poles on the inner tent) allow easy set-up without the fly in dry conditions. Multiple set-up and deployment modes allow Lyra to adapt to changing conditions and personal preferences for optimal comfort.
