Mountain Hardwear Trango 2 Tent 2-Person 4-Season
Awesome Winter / Altitude Tent

This tent is awesome for winter camping and high altitude adventures. It's too heavy to be a very good summer tent, but I have slept in it in all seasons and it works well (just vent it out when it's warm). It really shines when things get cold and nasty. You'll never feel more secure sleeping outside in a blizzard! Super easy to set up even for one person wearing gloves, and plenty roomy for two to sleep and eat comfortably. Vestibules on both ends are large enough to store gear for two and keep everything (relatively) dry, and are also large enough to cook in when things get nasty outside (be careful though!). The worst I've put this tent through so far was a vicious early winter storm at 12,000'. 50-60 mph gusts with over a foot of wet, sticky, heavy snow in less than eight hours (it was coming down). A couple of other folks down the way had their hex tent collapse on them in the middle of the night. Needless to say, they looked pissed when they came by first thing in the morning and found us warm and comfortable inside the Trango 2! Great tent, don't hesitate to get one!
