The Mountain Hardwear EV 2 is a single-wall expedition tent built to handle extended use in the harshest environments. It shrugs off heavy winds and snow loads.

  • Designed for temperatures and weather above 15,000 ft.; updated Conduit™ FR fabric has improved breathability for better performance in wet conditions
  • Evolution Tension Arch: panels of low-stretch fabric along the pole connection arcs reinforce the pole structure and stabilize the tent in 3 dimensions
  • Conduit FR body is made from a strong polyurethane-coated polyester; ripstop nylon floor with reduced porosity is lightweight
  • All seams are welded and waterproof so there is no need for seam sealing
  • Atlas Scandium XL™ dual-diameter poles are very light, super-strong and completely field serviceable without tools
  • Additionally, these tough XL poles come with subzero Shok™ cord and heat-treated aluminum threaded pole tips
  • Trim floor design fits well on narrow ledges and snow platforms; clip set-up aids high-wind pitches
  • Integrated vestibule with floor also has a convenient watertight zippered porthole for grabbing snow and getting rid of dirt
  • 5 welded, waterproof mesh vents on the fly and vestibule can opened for fresh air or shuttered closed during storms
  • Durable welded zipper flaps permit easy ventilation; watertight door zippers ensure a dry interior
  • Clear SVX film windows add light and views; thermoplastic polyether-urethane film has excellent UV and cold resistance
  • Large stake-out loops accept both skis and snow pickets
  • Bar-tacked stress points add strength and durability; bias-bound zippers allow ease of use and extended zipper life
  • 4 large welded mesh storage pockets help keep things organized inside
  • Reflective zipper pulls are highly visible in headlamp light
  • Superlight 1/4 in. buckles and webbing keep weight down
  • Includes stuff sacks, Y-Peg stakes and guylines/tensioners
  • Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only

Imported.

      Comments about Mountain Hardwear EV 2 Tent:

      I have been very impressed with this tent. I first tried a bibler tent. Although they are very well thought out tents,it did not breath as well as I thought. I tried my EV2 in the summer of 2008 in hot muggy ohio. It was warm in the tent to say the least, but there was not a drop of condensation anywhere. I also slep outside when it was 15 degrees in november without any condensation. During both outings, I had the multiple vents wide open. It is extremely easy to set up and take down, which is an advantage when it is very cold outside. The integrated vestibule is small, but allows for more usable space in the tent. It is very stable and strong. I am very excited to test it in the mountains of Idaho this summer.

      Comments about Mountain Hardwear EV 2 Tent:

      After 15 years of camping in a cheap REI Half Dome, I finally decided to spend some serious cash for a bombproof mountaineering tent. I was impressed by, among other things, REI's assertion that the seams did not need sealing. Ha. During its first storm deep in the Frank Church, the Ev-2 leaked like a sieve. And I don't mean that it dripped water; there were RIVERS flowing from nearly every point on the tent. For the next trip (King's Peak) I put on two layers of seam sealer. A light rain caused the same result: water an inch deep on the floor within an hour. I ended up borderline hypothermic. That's now two trips ruined by this expensive piece of junk. I expected better from Mountain Hardwear.
