User Review: Mountain Hardwear Hammerhead 3

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $259

Purchased the Hammerhead 3 for the two of us and two dogs. It is spacious, easy to set-up and take-down, and sturdy.

We camped in it for the first time this past week in northern Wisconsin with intermittent snow and rain showers, plus a little mixed-in small hail with 30mph wind gusts. We awoke one morning to the tent glazed with ice. The tent was rock-solid, kept us bone-dry, and relatively warm for a 3-season tent.  

I'd rate it effectively a 3.5 season tent. Praise for the height and all the venting options.  

My only criticism regards the size of the doors and vestibules - a bit small. We had difficulty getting in and out, usually resulting in some water getting into the tent, and the vestibules each hold a medium-size pack plus maybe a pair of boots at most.
