Mountain Hardwear Light Wedge 3 Tent 3-Person 3-Season

Tent simplicity returns with the Mountain Hardwear Light Wedge 3 Tent. This classic X-frame tent features a single cave-style entrance with a roomy front vestibule for taking off your boots and storing gear. An SVX window lets you check out the weather without letting it in, and the roomy dimensions accommodate even the tallest of hikers. Pick up the optional footprint (sold separately) and use it with the tent’s poles and rain fly to create an ultralight shelter.

Bottom Line: A roomy, functional tent without the confusion.

Mi casa

I was going to buy the '08 version but my (now ex-)girlfriend got her card out first...after extensive field testing of the '08 I've bought the '09. The tent was bomber a year ago, and then they made it better in more ways than I could have imagined. Everything fits better than before (except the ground cloth, which is still too big for the tent), and the new interface between pole and grommet is a huge step up (pop-in plastic pieces instead of pray-it-stays-in metal pieces). I wish that the window in the door was a little bigger for the long vistas (as it was last year), but at least there is some privacy in this thing for when you find yourself in a campground or other crowded venue.

I've camped in torrential rain (3" of standing water between the car and the mound the tent was on in the morning), sand, snow, and wind, and this tent is resilient, comfortable, easy to set up, and will withstand the worst weather you might think to camp in (aside from blizzards that require a four-season tent).

How does the rain fly connect onto the tent? Are there clips

Actually BAinUt... it has changed. The fly clips to each corner of the tent via the pole attachment points. It is a very secure and adjustable attachment system that we use even in our expedition tents. It is lightweight and fast to attach. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the update on the method, Jon. You're right: regardless of old or new, it's super secure and easy.

It attaches to the tent and/or footprint's pole grommet/strap system (no clips, ties, or velcro tying it to the poles). You use the tent strap to secure the fly at each pole/ground connection point. You can guy it out for more stability and would need to use stakes on the vestibule.

Light Wedge 3

By:
August 10, 2009

I have a 2003 or 2004 version of the Light Wedge and I love it. Easy to setup and sturdy. Most outings have included strong wind and/or rain/storms and this tent has kept me dry every time. I do suggest an extra seam-seal application on the floor seams, other wise I love this tent.

A note

Have the 2005 version, blue. Love the tent. However, this year the rainfly has begun to deteriorate. Warranty does not cover this. I am disappointed. I have had tents for 18 years (NF ve-25) which is still going strong.

Nice tent, but won't last more than 5 years with use.
