Great in the Cold | |
| Rating: |  |
| I would have given this tent 5 stars if it wasn't for two factors. The first being the Fly design, while it performed great the vestibules could have been devised a little better. Without at least 3 anchors per side it is hard to keep them fully "inflated" for lack of a better term. I had to use 3 attachment points on each side to make sure they stayed taut and functional. Once set up however there is more than enough room and it has great function. My second complaint would be the bath tub design of the tent. While I understand the benefits of this design it does take about 6 inches away from either side of the tent and I always feel like I am going to rip something if I lean on it to hard or throw something (pack) into the corner. It just seems to taut, it would have been a little better if there was some stretch to it but I am sure that would have sacrificed another quality of the tent. Other than what was stated above I love this tent, we have used it on Longs in the winter twice, once with 3 people in it and it was perfect. We do get some condensation but most of the time it's just bad air management on our part and could be prevented with proper venting. My only addition to the tent would be a stove vent on the large side vestibule, The door always flaps in when we have it cracked and can get in the way; A nice square flap that could be opened would have been nice to let the steam from boiling water escape and not collect inside the vestibule. | |

| Recently spent 2 weeks plus in one of these tents on Aconcagua. Needless to say...it held up to some wind and harsh weather. Bottom line: it kept us comfortable, dry, and alive. Set up is very intuitive and once we had done it a few times lower on the mountain even the wind didn't slow us down much when we got to higher elevations. My favorite features of the tent: 1)The large, main vestibule. With doors to both sides (and window on divider between) you can easily get in and out whichever side the storm isn't bearing down on. Smaller vestibule is a good hiding place for gear you don't need as often. 2)several side pockets along both sides of interior. It's difficult to stay organized with 2 people and gear crammed into a tent but these help a lot. I also liked the vents on the tent ceiling (although spindrift can make its way in if you aren't careful-but it's that or ice crystals from your breath) Plenty of tie off points on the fly for attaching cord and securing to rocks. We found this to be a very solid tent with some nice design features to minimize "suffering" on a big mountain. When my present 4 season tent breathes its last breath I will likely replace it with one of these. | |

Excellent, Bombproof, All-Season Shelter | |
| Rating: |  |
| I've been the pround owner of a Trango 2 for 3 weeks. Work committments have prevented me from testing it in my usual playground of the Scottish Highlands, although I have spent a couple of nights camped out in my living-room. In the depths of winter I normally experience an intermittent leak in the ceiling, and this year has been no different. Pitching the Trango directly underneath, it has stood up to the incessant drip admirably. I have even opened the windows to try and generate some local wind-effect and the tent has remained bomb-proof throughout; use of the internal guy system added extra stability. Pitched on top of my deep shag-pile carpet, the excellent Y-shaped pegs drove home uniformly and have remained effortlessly in-situ. Noise-proofing, although satisfactory in normal conditions, has been an area of disappointment. Even with the fly zipped tight and the vent-hole closed, I'm still occassionally woken by my teenage neighbours playing gangsta-rap during the small hours. A small niggle in an otherwise excellent shelter. | |

Perfection | |
| Rating: | |
Great tent. The description hits the nail on the head. We even fit 3 people in this tent for one of our outings. Only complaint is in order to hold up the vestibules securely you have to attach them with three points each. Kind of a pain if you don't have a perfect pitch site. Also on the main vestibule it would have been nice to include a small square zipper vent. When cooking steam from boiling water builds up, to circumvent this you have to have one of the doors partially open. The problem is that they donât really want to stay wide open and are not placed specifically for venting steam from cooking. So they either flop back inside and get in the way, or they don't let all the steam out and you still get moisture inside. We just ended up opening one of them up half way and sacrificed a little lost warmth. Other than that this tent is awesome. | |

"flood-proof" | |
| Rating: | |
| Took this tent out in the early spring without checking the radar or the campsite before I set up the tent. Shortly after I had settled in for the night, it rained and rained and rained. I woke up the next morning to go pee and, still groggy, put my warm feet (in expensive socks) into a huge puddle of freezing water. I mistakenly set up the tent in a low spot. Half of the tent was resting in 2-3" of water. But the inside was bone dry. MH's high-quality saved my dumb ass from a miserable night. | |

Mountaineering design with 3 season versitility | |
| Rating: | |
| I used the Trango tent on a recent trip to Mt. Olympus is Washington state. The first night was clear and the ventilation offered with the doors rolled back and the rainfly off was perfect. The next night weather had moved in and the rainfly was needed. Even with three occupants the tent never had the formation of that fine dew layer that comes with confined quarters and limited ventilation. The combination of multiple doors on the rainfly allowed us to adjust the ventilation pattern to get a good nights sleep without waking up all soggy. | |

| Very solid tent. I have been in many brands, but this is by far my best tent ever. Set up is much faster than other four season tents. My tent is from the Imax days on Everest. And it is in exellent condition, considering it has been in many winter storms. And if you know were the Cape Breton Highlands are, we are talking big winds off the ocean. I just bought the new Tarango 2, can't wait to try it out. | |

| This is the best tent I have ever owned. A little heavy, but solid as a rock. Just returned from a canoe trip on the Thelon River on the tundra barrens of the Northwest Territories. Had a tough day or two. High winds, sleet. I was thanking my lucky stars I had this tent. Dry as a bone, stakes out solid in heavy winds. Can't possibly be a more solid tent on this planet. You will not be dissatisfied. | |

Sweet as! | |

| This tent was sweet as! I used it on the South Island of New Zealand and found it totally indestructable in what can very demanding weather conditions (wind/rain/frost etc). I was able to pitch it the dark in down pouring rain with high winds without a drama. Also great for warm conditions in Aust during the summer with great ventilation. My poles didn't bend and nor did my rain fly fall off like others have experienced above. | |

| I was camping in Washington, and let me tell you, mountain hardwear makes a mean tent. I slept through a thunderstorm and the tent didn't leak, but I was suprised to find when I woke up that I was in a Shopping Center Parking lot. The wind tumbled me 6 miles, it was terrible, but I didn't notice it until I woke up. Great Tent Mountain Hardwear I should remember to steak it in next time. | |

| I was backpacking in Mongolia over the summer and I had a great time, but no thanks to Mountain Hardware. The rough weather really worn down the tent and the poles got really bent, I was forced to pull to guylines really tight to retain the tents original shape. To bad, because the material is pretty decent but the poles totally ruined MHW's creation. | |

| I was recently camping in British Columbia, during that time there was a huge thunderstorm and hailing winds. The rainfly came off the tent and I was left, soaked. Shame on you MHW people, for making such a faulty rainfly. | |
