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 2 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 2-person 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 2 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 2 Person Tent is quick and easy to pitch making it perfect for camping and backpacking. Offering three-way versatility, the Drifter 2 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!
With dual doors, a roomy interior and watertight construction, the Mountain Hardwear Drifter 2 DP backpacking tent is an excellent choice for 3-season backpacking. Easy to set up and boasting user-friendly features like fly-first pitching, dual doors and an included footprint, the Drifter 2 DP delivers excellent value at a budget-oriented price.
If you've ever had to pitch a tent in the rain, this will come as good news. Mountain Hardwear Drifter 2 DP Tent has DryPitch technology so you can set up your fly first THEN pitch your canopy underneath it. This also allows you to use the poles and fly without the canopy to form an ultralight shelter. Dual side entry with 2 vestibules for easy entry and gear storage.
Often in the world of tents, lightweight and weatherproof are mutually exclusive concepts. You can have either but not both. Mountain Hardwear has found a way for you and a partner to have your cake and eat it, too, with the Drifter 2 DP Tent. At just over four-and-a-half pounds, you'll hardly notice the weight of the Drifter, especially if you split the load, and with its guaranteed watertight construction, you'll find the Drifter worth its weight in gold in the backcountry.
Mountain Hardwear's compact Drifter 2 DP (DryPitch™) tent is perfect for camping and backpacking. DryPitch fly-first pitching lets you set up the tent in the rain and stay dry. Footprint included.
