From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Designed to Ed Viesturs' specifications for a compact, light, strong, two-person tent, the Mountain Hardwear EV2™ is purposefully designed for the rigors of high altitude expeditions. EV2’s trim design fits on ledges, and its clip set-up aids high-wind pitches. TX07 PU fabric - a lightweight, strong, non-stretch laminate - stabilizes and strengthens when pitched, and Atlas Scandium XL poles add sturdiness while shaving weight. Interior zip and built in ventilation help frost management while integrated vestibule provides protection from the elements.Mountain Hardwear EV2 Specs: Capacity (persons): 2 Weight: 5.94 lb.

I originally bought this tent based on its weight and thought this would be the perfect bit of kit for winter alpine adventures in Alaska. I soon discovered that the overall floor area just isn't enough for two individuals and all their stuff in the winter.

Weight, Ventilation, and Ease of Set-Up are all great points for the EV2. Here was my concern about the tent, the integrated vestibule. Yes it does add a few extra inches to the one-man tent (two-man in a pinch) but here was my problem. . .

I am from New England and had set it up in some of the worst weather New Hampshire can throw at it.

As you would expect a tent sanctioned by Mr. Viesturs is not going to let you down even in the highest winds or worst conditions (hey anchors are a personal issue mofo) but the single wall ventilation always makes me sleep light if snow is heavy. Don’t even think you can share this with a partner (even with minimal gear) unless extreme intimacy is not a problem (did I include my cell# here?!?).
