Why We Like The Mountain Hardwear Strato UL 2 Tent
With the Mountain Hardwear Strato UL 2 Tent, we keep our pack light and our campsite luxurious. At just over two pounds, the tent helps keep our pack feeling light so we can crush miles on the trail. The simple single-pole design allows us to pitch our tent in minutes, and with two doors, we can easily slip in and out of the tent without disturbing our hiking partner. When rain is in the forecast we throw on the see-through waterproof fly and watch the storm pass by in safety, and the two vestibules keep our packs and shoes protected without them taking up space in the tent.

Great tent could be amazing...
I bought this tent last year and have used it a handful of times on short backpacking trips. First the pros: 1. The weight. I like freestanding tents (or semi-free standing) and this is just so crazy light. Especially when sharing the load with my wife. The poles being separate makes this easy. 2. The size. It's big enough for 2 wide pads. I only ever used this with 2 people and it truly works for 2. 3. Two entrances was a must for me. The vestibules aren't very big but with 2, it works great. 4. The pockets. It has 3 inside pockets in the perfect places. My favorite is the overhead pocket. I was caught in a rain storm and put my cell phone in the pocket and we relaxed and watched a movie. This pocket was perfect. Cons: 1. If the fly was polyester, this tent would be perfect. When they fly for wet, it just stretches and sagged. It was hard to pull it tight. 2. Condensation. I think the way the top of the tent is shaped caused condensation to drip right on my face. The fly sort of makes a bowl on top. Being able to pull the fly tighter would solve this, I believe. But the pullouts just don't allow for the amount of stretch. Overall, I'm happy with this tent and plan to use it for years to come. It's well made and meets my needs.
