"Pack your Mountain Hardwear Lightpath 2 two-person, three-season tent on your next backpacking adventure. The Lightpath 2's watertight fly keeps the rain out and will be your barrier against foul, wet weather. Guy lines let you stabilize your tent in the wind. The fly provides you with 10 square feet of vestibule room so you can drag your packs underneath and have a dry spot where you can take off your muddy boots if the weather gets really unpleasant. A plastic window on the fly lets you see out. On warm days, take off the rain fly and get plenty of air circulation through the mesh door and window."

"I spent the weekend with this tent with my 5 yr. old daughter. The tent was extremely easy to set up after a test in the back yard the day before. The tent is everything I need. It packs small, is light, and seems strong. The tent fly was taught throughout the night, and would have surely done well in even the most challenging wind."

"I just got back from summer camp at Ransburg Scout Reservation today after about 8 days away. The last night that we were there, we got hit hard by about three hours of absolute downpours and wind gusts so fast that you could not walk in a straight line."

"The most awesome tent I've ever used! In an unforeseen storm the tent held up to one of the biggest poundings by the weather I have ever experienced. As some one else has already said, there is a shortage of pegs. During my night out I managed to sleep 3 people in it, because the storm had destroyed my friends "Gelert" tents, one of the poles was bent a little by the massive winds, but Mountain Hardwear's lifetime warranty means I'm getting it replaced for free, no questions asked."

"Wow! What a great product! I got this tent about two hours ago so I haven't tried it out in the rain, but it looks to be great. There are two small problems, the tent only comes with 12 stakes, but to have it taut you need 14 (16 if possible) and setting it up the first time was a bit of a hit-miss situation."
