For your reference, this page contains historical product information.

The 3-season Mountain Hardwear Viperine 3 backpacking tent features an easy setup, a lightweight, no-fuss design and room for 3 backpackers.

  • Freestanding tent with nearly vertical walls and door has a spacious interior and a generously sized dry-entry vestibule
  • Atlas 7001 aluminum poles are anodized for corrosion- and dent-resistance and come with patented Delrin shock tips, so they're completely field serviceable by hand
  • 1-piece, cross-hub pole design and reflective starter points ensure a quick and easy setup
  • Pole clips save weight, make setup a cinch and allow superior ventilation between rainfly and tent
  • Evolution Tension Arch technology uses a system of low-stretch fabric panels that reinforce the poles and add to the rigidity of the tent's structure
  • Door with mesh panels increases ventilation while dual zipper sliders allow easy operation and venting options
  • Dry-entry vestibule design prevents water from dripping inside tent when vestibule is open, improving livability; rainfly window lets light in and views outside
  • For extra stability, each guyout point clips to the frame on the interior side of the rainfly via welded attachment points
  • All guyout points are reflective for easy identification; canopy pockets keep tent organized
  • Superlight buckles and webbing save weight
  • Fast pack pitching: In nice weather, use only the poles, rainfly and footprint (sold separately) to save weight
  • Mountain Hardwear Watertight Construction: Thoughtful design, taping and welding technology combine to make this tent watertight off the shelf; no seam sealing is required
  • Comes with stuff sacks, stakes and guyline/tighteners
  • Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only

Imported.

    Comments about Mountain Hardwear Viperine 3 Tent:

    Great tent. I recently purchased the '08 model at rei outlet. I imagine that there is minimal change. First the tent weight is about 6 lbs. It also has a great vestibule area. It is very roomy inside with a high ceiling. It would be good for 3, great for 2 and do-able for 4. I would encourage all to get this tent. Second, it has one universal pole. Everything pivots from the main pole. The end tips are magnetic and practically connect themselves. I love this tent and have talked to all who will listen about it. Great purchase. Maybe the best yet.
