Great Tent
5 years ago
Took this tent out for 2 nights and it did not disappoint. I had two nights of rain and the tent performed beyond expectations. The last night it started raining at midnight and never stopped till 7 am I woke up and was surprised the site had filled with water but the tent did its job and the bathtub flooring kept all the water out (see pic) I was was solo on this trip but could see 2 people having enough room in this tent. Tent had good venting but I had to keep the rain fly on the whole trip. This tent is constructed very well and sets up in minutes. I have always wanted a Mountain Hardware tent and I am glad I finally got one. This is a great tent for car camping I could see it as a backpack tent for two if you split the tent up between the two people. If I could change one thing it would be the color of the rain fly not sure how I feel about the white see it getting very dirty But Again just a Great Tent

Perfect Camp Tent
5 years ago
I love this tent, especially for car camping! The poles make it so you have more room around your shoulders and head; it feels super spacious. It's also really easy to set up. I also appreciate that it's affordable, which is awesome to see a technical company like Mountain Hardwear offer. I'm pretty new to camping and purchasing equipment especially can be intimidating, but this tent was a perfect choice. The other nice touch is that it doesn't have flame retardant chemicals. So when I'm out in the nature, I can breathe in the fresh air instead of toxic chemicals and not worry about having to wash my hands after set-up and break-down.

LOVE THIS TENT!!!

Great tent for what it was designed for. Lightweight but never ever for backpacking unless the Boy Scouts where they haul 60 pounds for 4 or 5 miles. This tent is the bomb for backyard or car camping. It came with its own footprint to protect the already quite durable floor. The poles are pre bent and sturdy. It freestands, which is a convenient plus for setting up, taking down, or moving it to a more level spot! The fly is simple and durable. You will want to keep the fly partially off unless you are getting rained on. The tent ventilates well, but the fly really seals it up, so watch out for condensation. This tent is the one to have!

I've had other tents that have been a nightmare to deal with. I took this on an overnight backpacking trip into a thick-brush area in a National Forest area. Comes with a solid footprint, and the easiest frame setup I've dealt with thus far. Tent was up and ready in less than a minute. Didn't use the tarp, and had a beautiful view of the stars and comet during New Moon the other night. Very spacious, and will accomodate my wife and I with more than enough space, when she comes with me on the next trip. My friend who has been backpacking for many years was jealous of how beautifully made this tent is. Don't hesitate to buy.

The large doors with their own stuff pockets are wonderful. Its super easy to get in/out of the tent. It feels like a 3 man with the head space as well. If you're not looking for a 4 lb tent, but a 6 lb will do. I highly recommend this king!!

This tent is perfect.

I did a lot of research before upgrading from the tent I inherited from my parents that was made in the 80s, and while I am certainly generally impressed by how much tent technology has improved in the intervening years, this tent has absolutely every feature I would want and nothing superfluous. It’s absolutely big enough for two people and gear. The double side entry is genius. The pockets are excellent. The awnings are great. The stargazing mesh is fantastic. 10/10 would buy again.

finally, a good tent for long canoe expeditions
6 days ago
We have been looking for a tent for 3-4 week-long canoe expeditions. We wanted something that was spacious, durable, and that could accommodate 2 25"-wide sleeping pads. Modern backpacking tents are just too cramped and flimsy for long trips in remote areas. The mineral king has the space we wanted and is very sturdily built: the material and build quality is excellent. Setup is easy even for one person and is assisted by excellent corner pole capture (something some other manufacturers don't seem to understand). Has plentiful interior pockets and comes with a pre-installed clothesline. Two minor complaints: the fly doors have tie-outs on only one side which reduces setup and ventilation options, and the long poles and hub are not completely symmetrical and there is no color-coding on the poles to indicate this. We have been thru rainstorms and have seen no leakage. Have not been thru a serious windstorm so I can't comment on its wind performance but the steep sidewalls will probably require guying-out in these situations. We are both very pleased with this tent.

The design reminds me of early iPhone design before it got all cluttered. Elegant, well thought out, everything seems exactly right. No more, no less than is needed, the result of hours of complex creative thinking and evaluation. The result is beautiful and simple.

I bought this 3 months ago and I have used this one in Utah and Colorado San Juans. If this won’t break, this will be my car camping buddy for a lifetime. I’m asian so this tent is super spacious for me. It’s a luxury inside. I just love it so much.
