The Black Diamond Skylight is roomy and with a view, offering the best of both worlds.
The front third of the NanoShield canopy can be rolled back for stargazing on a nice night while still being enclosed by protective netting. Should the weather take a turn, roll the canopy out and enjoy full coverage from the elements with the built in vestibule.
Featuring a breathable NanoShield fabric canopy and a SilNylon floor. Weighing in at a superlight 4 pounds 2 ounces for a 3 person tent. Pack size is only 7 inches by 15 inches. The tent body and poles come in two separate stuff bags so the tent weight can easily be split between two people.
The free standing design makes setup fast and easy. 3 DAC featherweight poles set from the inside of the tent so you can get out of the weather even quicker.
The Skylight is equally at home on hot desert or cool alpine trips. It boasts a D-shaped door opening with screen netting and a roof that tops out at 42 inches. Large enough to fit 3 people and give incredible room for 2.

NanoShield Fabric: Superlight tent canopies and bivys are constructed entirely from NanoShield – Black Diamond’s new proprietary breathable single-layer fabric. NanoShield is extremely water resistant: it has the highest water column rating of any breathable single-layer, single-wall fabric at 1700 mm. Such an outstanding rating is the result of BD's exclusive Silicone Nanocell coating. This coating has a much lower volume than typical water-resistant coating, allowing the fabric to remain superlight, soft and package. Despite its thin profile, Silicone Nanocell is highly durable with impressive tear strength, making it perfect for high winds and abrasion resistance when guying-out to nearby rocks, ice or trees. It loses nothing in breathability to less-weatherproof fabrics, boasting a Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) of 4300.
DAC Poles: DAC Featherlite tent poles work to inherently improve a tent’s strength-to-weight ratio while providing the least chance of breakage because there are no glued inserts. Their sleeved and structurally sound connecting pole sections eliminate their weakest link, glued pole inserts, reducing weight by 15 % over other commonly-used aluminum poles.
