The Mountain Hardwear Habitat 5 tent offers lots of room for 5 campers—and at nearly 6.5 ft. tall this abode offers impressive stand-up-in-it luxury!

  • Unique 3-pole, freestanding design creates nooks and crannies for gear stashing; mesh doors and panels give an airy feeling and provide good cross ventilation
  • Atlas PF 7001 poles are corrosion- and dent-resistant
  • Pole clips save weight, work simply and allow superior ventilation between rainfly and tent; reflective starter points ease setup
  • Taped, full-coverage polyester rainfly maintains a taut pitch even when wet; nonyellowing, nonclouding, clear SVX film windows add light and views
  • Dry-entry vestibule design prevents water from dripping inside tent when vestibule is open, improving livability
  • 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 and mesh canopy pockets keep tent organized
  • Superlight 0.25 in. buckles and webbing 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, wire-peg stakes and guylines/tighteners
  • Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only

Imported.

    Comments about Mountain Hardwear Habitat 5 Tent:

    Went with this item based on a positive history with Mountain Hardware tents. It has a large floor plan and plenty of storage that would fit my expanding families car camping/base camp needs until the kids are old enough to take to the trail. Turns out you should be about 6'2" to hook the poles into the top clip, a two person build-up. The final product isn't very sturdy and blows around in even a light wind. The rain fly looks sufficient for storms, but when not under bad weather, expect a tent that blows around like a sail. I'm dissapointed I couldn't grab and go based on name recognition, I'll be visiting the REI return counter later today.
