As winter turns into spring and the warm weather returns, we see lots of customers in our store who know that they need a tent for their backpacking adventures, but aren't sure exactly which one to get. Those customers leave with a Mountain Hardwear Drifter series tent in hand more often than any other model. The Drifter owes its popularity not to futuristic materials or crazy architecture - but rather to good, old-fashioned value. There are lots of dome tents in the world that take the same general shape of the Drifter, but its mix of quality craftsmanship, pleasing aesthetics, and essential features combine to make it the most popular tent in our inventory.
New for 2013, the Drifter 3 DP model features Mountain Hardwear's DryPitch ™ configuration, which allows the tent to be set up fly-first in the rain, keeping the interior of the tent dry. The included footprint allows you to set up the tent in three different configurations: rainfly only, tent body only, or the complete tent.
The Mountain Hardwear Drifter DP 3 Person Tent is quick and easy to pitch making it perfect for camping and backpacking. Offering three-way versatility, the Drifter 3 DP can be set up three ways: fly only, canopy only or fly plus canopy. The DP stands for DryPitch meaning exactly that; you can set up your tent in the rain without getting drenched and keep your gear dry at the same time! DryPitch allows you to first set up the fly and then the canopy beneath it and out of the rain. Watch the video below and see how it's done!
New for 2013! With dual doors, a roomy interior and watertight construction, the Mountain Hardwear Drifter 3 DP backpacking tent is an excellent choice for 3-season backpacking.

No two camping trips are ever the same, which is why Mountain Hardwear gives you several different ways to pitch the Drifter 3 DP 3-Person 3-Season Tent. In warm, dry conditions you can use the minimalist Fastpitch fly-and-footprint setup; when a comet shower is scheduled, lie under the mesh-topped canopy alone; and of course, anytime you need reliable, comfortable backcountry shelter in a range of conditions, bring along the whole kit and enjoy.
