The Lyra II from Exped is a two-person midweight dome tent designed to bring a balance of comfort and portability to your camping or backpacking trips. With room for two sleepers and a bit of gear, it’s aimed at hikers and campers who want a reliable shelter without carrying extra bulk.

Constructed from 68D polyester taffeta for both the fly and inner tent, the Lyra II holds up to wind and rough ground while keeping weight in check. Its dome structure gives good headroom at 120 cm high, and the 250 × 215 cm footprint offers enough space to stretch out or stow boots under the fly. You’ll find guy lines, stakes and a compact carry bag all included, so you can pitch camp without hunting for extra pieces.

The “68D” in polyester taffeta refers to the denier rating, which measures the thickness of individual threads. At 68 denier, the fabric delivers a sturdy balance—strong enough to resist tears and abrasions yet light enough to help keep the packed weight around 2.1 kg.
