Why We Like The Mountain Hardwear Trango 2 Tent
When rain starts to downpour on our basecamp, we retreat to the Mountain Hardwear Trango 2 Tent and sit out the storm in time-tested alpine style. The Trango's been around since 1995 and, like cheese and wine, has only gotten better as it's gotten older.
Weighing under nine pounds, it's considerably lighter than many basecamp-style tents, but doesn't sacrifice weatherproofing or durability to get there. It pitches using four DAC Featherlite aluminum poles, and boasts fully-taped seams on the fly and floor to keep the elements at bay. All the fabrics are tightly-woven, high-denier nylon, and feature water-resistant coatings to ensure you stay dry through the burliest mountain storms.

Killer tent!
I am still using my 1997 trango 2 and it is still bombproof! I look after it well and wash it too. It has hardly any shrinkage after 27yrs and hold back all weather. Takes nasty winds and good snow, my shelter ❤️

Excellent tent!
Definitely worth the purchase, MH doesn’t disappoint when it comes to equipment. bought this for my Aconcagua trip and I used this tent from base camp all the way to camp Colera, will definitely use this on my next mountaineering trips from here on out!

Intuitive setup and bomber construction
Intuitive setup and bomber construction! I bought this for vehicle based winter and cold weather camping. It is made from high quality materials and appears to be robust. I was quickly able to set up the tent without reference to the directions. The poles are color coated and clip in to appropriately sized wire gated plastic clips. In areas where the poles cross, there are larger clips to accommodate both poles. All poles are external, not sleeved, except for the vestibule pole. External poles allow for quick and straightforward setup. I bought the Trango 2 and found it plenty big two people, especially when using the vestibule. It is a palace if you are solo!

Set up/breakdown nightmare
This tent takes way too long to set up and even longer to breakdown. The rediculous amount of mini carabiners used to secure the tent to poles don't work easily. I can't imagine setting this up in cold weather with gloves on.

Just the best tent!
The quality of this tent is unbeatable in my opinion. I camp with my boyfriend quite often, and we wanted a tent that would help shield us from harsh cold climate. When the right clothing and gear is used, this tent provides us with the warmth we need in snowy weather, and cold temperatures in general. We’ll be camping tomorrow in desert cold climate with our dog and I’m confident that it will go great with this tent. We’ve camped in our tent about 10 times before and we have absolutely nothing bad to say about it. the setup is very easy as well. We 100% recommended this tent for a two person duo, especially in colder climates. You won’t be disappointed!

Great tent
I used this tent twice so far. The structure looks solid. Didn’t have the chance to try it during winter yet, but it looks that it will resist any kind of weather. The reasons I’m not giving it 5 stars is because it’s a little too bulky and heavy. It’s not like they didn’t tell me about it on the description, but I had to see it myself to know for sure. Also, it’s not a tent that I can build in two minutes in case of emergency. It takes quite some time to do it (it’s still easy to build, just too many clips and stuff to take care of). Other than that, I love it. It looks even bigger on the inside than it does from outside. And it also has great ventilation.

Bombproof
Took this tent for two weeks to the most northern region of the Westfjords of Iceland. We had a brief katabatic windstorm but the tent didnt budge. Rock solid, low profile, super air tight. The ten pound weight seemed intimidating but I hucked this thing up and over mountain passes without really noticing. This is the most bombproof tent Ive ever used. If you're going somewhere above the treeline where wind, snow or rain can make stuff dangerous, this is the tent you want.
